The living room and kitchen area were very clean, as well as the bathrooms. However, Sheets needed to be changed. This is my only complaint; otherwise the hostell was great, with great atmosphere and great people running it. Cheers.

This hostel was the best i have ever stopped in. The place was very very clean. There was somebody always cleaning. Internet connection was fantastic and they had 2 computers aswel. The common room area was a very nice setup. The staff were very friendly and got involved in drinking games etc. The location was perfect. Less than a 5 min walk from everything you could need. Overall i had no complaints what so ever with this hostel. If your coming to tallin definitely stay here.

Staff are fantastic and a lot of fun, they make you feel right at home from the get go. Dinner is cooked every night for a small price and you can book plenty of activities through the hostel. The pub crawls are also a lot of fun - you get taken to different bars and clubs full of locals and travellers each night. Great for solo travellers with a big common room and drinking games every night. Stay here!!!

Excellent environment. Loved the pub crawls and the drinking games. Everybody gathers to have drinks in the common room which is excellent to meet new people. All the staff is very helpful and outgoing. Be careful: don't access facebook after 19h30 or all hell breaks loose and you'll regret the day you were born hahaha :p

This hostel was a lot of fun with such activities as drinking games(i.e. beer pong and flip cup), as well as pub crawls every night. The staff was really awesome, especially Scotty, and I can't really complain about the accommodations either. For anyone coming to Tallinn reading this is looking for a hostel, this is definitely the one you've been looking for

Great hostel with lovely staff who all like to party like crazy! However, if you dont plan on going out drinking every night, you might be stuck for things to do as the common room closes at 11pm, which is a bit crap if you want to watch one of their great selection of movies.

We had an amazing time in this hostel. The staff was great , everytime up to make party and integrate yourself to others backpackers. They even prepare a delicious diner for only 2.50 euro !!! Pub crown, movies during the day .. I dont know how they could make it better ... I would definitly recommend you to take the sahring deluxe room, we enjoy the sauna and jacuzzy on a raining day and it was just a dream ...

Really good hostel in the middle of the old town. Staff are great and there are pub crawls every night, along with tasty hostel meals. Liam is a great host and the hostel is clean and comfortable with a sweet common room. HIghly recommended if you want to have fun in Tallinn!

" *** Note: Tallinn Backpackers is a party hostel. " This is the one of the first things on the Tallinn Backpackers website and the hostel did exactly what it said on the tin. Basically if you want to have fun and meet like minded people in a great hostel in the heart of the old town with top notch staff then Tallinn Backpackers is the place. I cant rate it highly enough and will be back again without a doubt.
