Probably my favorite hostel EVER, and I have stayed in a lot. The Baltics are party central, and hostels can feel like frat parties. This place wasa really nice change. Definitely party oriented with a great bar and fun staff, but not your usual stag boys throwing beer around and slapping each others guts. The people working there were all really interesting and well, cool. So basically if you like to relax and get drunk without lowering your IQ 20 points, I recommend staying here.

Good spot to see the old town right by a good place to start walking around. The staff are great will tell you all you need to know and helped me get a ticket for the boat to Finland. Nice beds , good sized room, pool table and a little bar/reception.Good place to meet people and have a drink. Around 11.30 they turn off music so you can go out or go to bed.

The staff was tremendously friendly and sociable and the bedrooms were pretty good. I had a great time, thanks to Luke, Hugo, Martti, Kristi and the others. Next time, I will definitely book a room there.

This hostel was Ace. Very clean and newly remodeled. They have a big living room area as well as a movie room. The beds are very comfortable. For the price of the hostel, it's a steal. The location is perfect. It sits right off the old city and only a 5 min walk into town. They are good a beer pong, but Team 1776 will have there revenge.

We had a brilliant stay in the monks bunk hostel. The staff were really fun and helpful and took us out every night to different pubs and bars and would arrange day trips. The hostel itself was really clean and had good facilities and a friendly atmosphere. I would definately recommend this hostel...

Thanks for the great review guys. You will be happy to know most of our staff are now owners of jenga blocks and the bloody pigeon tour rules. You lads are always welcome back here to have more awesome times!

strange place, half rotten, half renovated; I would give some points for the three showers and three toilets they have installed but deduct all the points for the fact, that they stopped (or never started) cleaning the ensuit facilities. also no heater in the rooms, only mobil solutions. no lockers, no shelves, not even a chair in the room. this hostel might be the right one, if the plan of life is to get drunk - a lot of couches to sleep of your hangover and you will not be the only one...

Well, this is a surprise for us to get this review after our staff went out of their way to ensure you a pleasant stay in Tallinn. Yes, we might have had temporary heating due to current renovations in your room, but made sure it was warm. And the word "rotten",totally uncalled for. If you read almost all of our other reviews, you will see we take pride in our cleanliness and our guests know that. Safe Travels in the future.

The Monk's Bunk was an awesome place to stay. The staff was super helpful and made an effort to make sure that you were enjoying you time in Tallinn. They just did renovations as well, so everything is nice and new. The showers are amazing.

This hostel is exactly what a hostel should be. Great staff, great common areas, great kitchen (although kinda short on bowls - or I couldn't find them).

Hey guys. Thank you once again for booking with us and hopefully your stay with us in Tallinn was great apart from the being cold part. Sincere apologies that the heating system was still being installed at the time of your stay. We would have gone out of our way to make your stay more comfortable had you just mentioned to any staff member that you were chilly. Good news is that the system is finally finished and working 100%, so if you are ever in Tallinn again and would like to stay with us, know that we are now nice and toasty inside. Hopefully see you again!
