    Simple hostel with basic facilities. The location is ok, especially since everything in Tallinn is within walking distance. Limited number of showers for the total numbers of rooms and very basis kitchen but for the price it is all ok.

    It was a bit hard to find specially as I came at night so had to go around twice trying to look for the sign that was not that noticeable on a glass door. Had to ask the reception at the nearby for help regarding the location.

    Perfect location near the ferry and grocery/mall/

    The bathrooms were not super clean and the smell in the corridors/rooms was sometimes unpleasant - but still all decent for a hostel.

    Great location, just next to a shopping mall and to the port. Good price for a single room which was clean and enough for one person. The kitchen/dining area was ok to have a meal.

    If the shelf above the washbasin was removed, it would be also possible to wash face in the morning) But probably, its regional masters’ strategy of doing things: same problem I met in one three times more expensive place.

    Comfortable clean bed in a separate room was the only thing I needed, this is present 100%. Neither cold nor hot (cold in the showerroom, I didn’t need it). Just the cheapest single room for a night in Tallinn, no sense to wait much more from it. The man on reception waits for late-coming visitors.

    Stuffy smell in the common corridor, very thin walls, single room has no window(but that's OK if you're not staying long), sockets placed high on the wall

    Location is great, staff very pleasant. Kettle, microwave, fridge in the common kitchen.

    GPS made that I was walking around the building to find the entrance door. Maybe, it would be helpful to write on the page where is the main entrance. It would save the time of the future guests.

    Great location! It took me 15 minutes walk to the city center of Tallinn and 5 minutes walk to the ferry terminal A (ferry boat Viking to Helsinki goes from there). The district was very safe. The room and bed were fine. Shared bathroom was not too crowded. Very nice and helpful staff.

    Hostel owner who puts effort in his place

    The bathrooms, the way they are setup, makes them hard to keep clean. Around the shower basin it doesn't look very clean I had the impression of mold. The sink itself is way to small to wash yourself, let alone to keep the water inside it. So no matter how tidy you are with washing yourself. You can't help it to make the floor into a pool. This is the place you stand on for washing, drying after a shower or even go to the toilet. After you've been there, it isn't a nice experience for the next guest at the facilities, as it will al be wet. So I see for the next renovation of the facilities a good challenge to fix it. I would rethink the layout maybe offering one single room up, so the showers, toilets and a sink can be split up or arranged better.

    Rooms are great, the owner is putting good effort into making it a nice place. I stayed in a room that just had been done up. It had a new floor over the hallway and the rooms that connected to it. I had a few good nights off sleep.

    Not exactly a bad thing, but should be noted. It's a place that doesn't have much money. The windows were covered with old curtains that are too small for the windows and they were attached with cable ties :) There is also no sound proofing. The building is old and it shows in the rooms, so if you're looking for beauty and nice decorations, this place probably isn't for you. Otherwise nice enough.

    Amazing location, and the host was really nice and helpful! The bed was really comfortable. The room was surprisingly good, and very nice for one night. Also everything seemed very clean.
