Set in the centre of Tallinn, Neotel is situated 1.3 km from Russalka Beach and 1.5 km from Kalarand. The property is around 2.4 km from Tallinn International Bus Station, 2.4 km from Maiden Tower and 2.5 km from Niguliste Museum-Concert Hall. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and a shared lounge for guests.

Featuring a shared bathroom with a shower, rooms at the hostel also feature free WiFi, while certain rooms also offer a city view.

Neotel is designed as a simple and basic hostel, a place to sleep, clean up, and keep your stuff. If that is all what you need then Neotel is a great option. Our room was quite large and had plenty of space. Check in was very easy, as you they give you a code which you can use to access the hostel floor and your room. The hostel itself is fairly small (only ten units), which means it was never loud or crowded. Our room and all of the facilities were very clean and well maintained.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Me and my friend have only positive things to say about this hostel. The guy on reception really made the place as he was always so happy and friendly and made us feel very welcome in Tallinn. We were a late check in but this was no problem with the hostel which we really appreciated. We found the bed mattresses to be very comfy, especially for the cheap price we paid. Location was great as we could easily walk to Tallinn centre and were so close to the harbour.

    I recently stayed at Tallinn Harbour Hostel and was impressed with the excellent value for money. Its proximity to both the port and city center made it a convenient choice. The hostel's affordability, combined with its strategic location, made my stay enjoyable and budget-friendly. Highly recommend for travelers looking for convenience without breaking the bank.
