MJK Hostel offers accommodation in Nõmme, within a 30-minute walk of Lake Ülemiste and a 15-minute drive of Tallinn's Old Town. Free WiFi is featured and free private parking is available on site. Värava and Näituse bus stops are both within a 5-minute walk of the property.

A very nice lady was waiting for us until 11 in the evening. We checked in without any problems, parking very spacious. The rooms are on the second floor. We were in a hurry to get to the ferry in the morning but the keys can be left on the counter without any problem. You have to be careful with the exit door so you don't slam it in the morning, because when there is no one at reception and you leave your card inside it will be a flop.

Located in Tallinn’s centre, 400 metres from Raekoja Plats, and close to many restaurants and bars, this 16eur - Fat Margaret's features free Wi-Fi, a shared kitchen and a 24-hour reception. Nearby districts include Kalamaja and the Rotermanni Quarter, Tallinn Bay is just 400 metres from the property.

Tallinn’s busy port is just a 5-minute walk from the hostel. The famous Fat Margaret’s Tower is within 100 metres. The Balti Jaam Railway Station is a 4-minute walk away.

At first I found the staff unfriendly but quickly came to realize that Estonians are not particularly warm people, they are more neutral in their demeanour. They are helpful and the hostel is very clean. It would be nice if they have a bit of a briefing upon arrival as to where things are, hours for the sauna, that there’s waffles included, etc. Most hostels do this and it’s helpful. I was attending a conference next door so it was quite convenient to be next door.

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.
