The hostel atmosphere is nice. It is located in the heart of the old city, close to restaurants, nights clubs, PUBS, souvenir shops, boutiques and close to the main sights in Tallin. If you want to have a cheap dinner, every night in the hostel they make a dinner but you have to put your name on the list and you have to pay a small value for it. It is a good way to pay cheap and socialize with other people. The staff weren't so friendly but they weren't impolite. I recommend it.

If you like to party, then this is just the right hostel for you. The international staff is nice and helpful in any way. When it comes to giving you adresses, hints or getting you wasted at one of the beer games, this is the way to go. When I stayed there, you saw a lot of people coming back that have been there before (sometimes up to four times). I completely understand that, and ofcourse I'm also saving money for the next time. Thnx staff, you were great!

Best hostel stayed in! Really made our stay in Tallinn awesome. The staff are amazing, the atmosphere is like you staying at your mates house, big common room area which we used a lot there. The location is super central. beds comfy, kitchen sweet, shower prob not the greatest in pressure but in a place like this its the last thing you really care about. RECOMMEND!!

This hostel is more like a home and the staff are an extended family, especially during Christmas when your real family are across the other side of the world. One of those places where you don't want to leave, awesome place, awesome people, awesome times, happy happy days!!!

Not a bad hostel... A bit of an Ozzie colonly in northern Europe. It was just before Christmas when I was there so it was really quite.... but the staff still managed to make a fun party and pub crawl. Its a good system they have, legends to go pub crawling every single day!!

First hostel I've stayed at and this set the bar a little to high. People from some other sister hostels came by and drank with us. Staff was extremely helpful

I can honestly say this is the best hostel I have ever stayed in. The staff manage to create the perfect balance of having a crazy party atmosphere but with a friendly, helpful and efficient service. Absolutely awesome value for money, the bathroom in our room was of the kind of quality you'd expect in a good hotel. Really cannot sing enough praises for this place, we will be back in Summer. Thanks again to Liam and everyone at the hostel for giving us an unforgetable five nights in Tallinn!
