    This slightly odd hotel is in a brilliant location. the building from the outside looks impressive but the fit out is really on a budget, including the room furnishings. It feels like a crossover between a hostel and a hotel. That said, breakfast was outstanding.

    One of the best hostels I’ve ever been to. Great overall atmosphere. Kitchen, bathrooms, hallways were all not only clean, but taken care of with love. The staff was incredibly welcoming. I was a big fan of the upcycled furniture in the hostel.

    The staff was very nice and friendly. The hostel has a common room and a kitchen which feel homey and comfortable. It feels like a place where you can easily meet new people and make friends during your travels. Would 100% return again.

    A great place to sleep at a fantastic price point. If you just want to lay your head down somewhere with a roof over you, this dormitory is perfect for that. Nearby is a Selver ABC and a sandwich fast food restaurant. The place is very safe.

    The staff was extremely helpful to me. They helped me deal with a future booking stay where there was a language barrier between the hostel owner and me. They wrote for me in Estonian and even called the other hostel on the phone. The beds were mostly twins, not bunk beds. That's always better. There was a shower designated just for women and another just for men. Though there wasn't a table and chair in my dorm room, I was invited to use the table in the common area.

    Really cozy and both environmentally and budget friendly hostel. There was a nice kitchen, common room and clean showers. I like to support small volunteer-run hostels like this😍 Would stay again!
