arriving at the hostel at 22.45 after a long trip, and the first thing i see- PARTY!! 10 minutes to down a drink, and then off to pub crawl! needless to say, this entire weekend was great. when i open my hostel it will be exactly like this (i hope) great atmosphere, fun people- only thing i can complain about was the hangover :)

The location of this hostel is perfect. Everything is in walking distance and being in the old town you get to walk through the cute streets all the time. The town is beautiful. The hostel is constantly buzzing with people. Always people to talk to and the night life is every night! Must.Stay.Here.

This hostel is a nice "partyhostel". This does not mean that you can't sleep during the night if you're tired because the common area is closed at 11pm and the crowd leaves the hostel. Nevertheless, if you are not in the mood to go out during your stay you should look for another hostel. The rooms are clean and the staff is friendly. Only drawback are rooms which are not ensuite. You have to share one bathroom on your floor with up to 12 people.

TB is winning awards for good reason! Perfect location, awesome building w/ local character, great dorms w/ comfy beds, cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen in a hostel, common room easy to chill & chat but also perfect for a party. I instantly felt at home and would totally come back. The staff is phenomenal - friendly & helpful all day every day. Special shout outs to Poncho for being awesome with a 4am emergency, my girl Kongo for the fun times (what up) and Liam for running this awesome place!

I only recommend this hostel if you want to have the best time ever in Tallin. Or if you want to meet the most amazing staff. Or maybe be if you really enjoy a beer pong match. With a beer bong challenge following. Just. Go. There. Really.

The Tallinn Backpackers Hostel is in the old town of Tallinn. I had a funny stay with nice international guests and staff. Very friendly atmosphere and the staff very very helpful. If you are looking for activities the Hostel is the right for you! You have daily activities like own parties, pub crawl or sightseeing tour etc. Its worth to stay at Tallinn Backpackers.

Best place, if you're going to Tallinn, stay here. Great, social common room with free foosball, movies, internet, nice beds, bathrooms are super clean and the location is good - 5 mins from a supermarket and city centre and right in the middle of old town where the sights, bars and clubs are. The best part was the staff - these guys are so friendly and always up for a good time. They make you feel at home and are fun to go out with.

I had some concerns about going to such a self-described "party hostel," but in the middle of winter and midweek, it was social and lively ... but not out of hand. The hostel does a lot to encourage socializing: no-Facebook rule during evenings in common room is a brilliant idea, beer pong table, movies, pub crawls, etc. Good location in old town. Dorms were a little cramped and only small lockers available; but bunks are wood, not metal (good!); no stupid linen fees; bathroom was clean.

Cool place to stay.. I imagine it would get quite hectic when it's full, but it was nice during the weekdays and the common area is a great place to chill during the days..

This is a great hostel and all the staff are fantastic. I had a wonderful time and the place has a great feel and atmosphere to it. One thing that really impressed me was that I left my camera behind and the hostel emailed very quickly letting me know and they are sending it on to me. I will definitely stay here next time. Thank you for a brilliant weekend!
