This hostel was really cheap. We had a private spacious room for ten people without a small living room area :). The location is great as it is 2 minutes walk from the main square. 24 hours reception whith a friendly staff always willing to help for any issues. There is a nice living/ chilling/partying out room. I would suggest... More

It's located near old town but a little off the beaten track. It's offer very spacous dormitory but there are also private room. If you are off season maybe you will be lucky and you will only guest of dormitory. You can prepare here food by yourself, because you can use shared kitchen.

Life is too short to stay here. I fixed the toilet seat and cleaned the bathroom myself. The staff have their own issues and wish you didn't come to stay. The attic is a bit of a fire trap. The location is great, the management was pleasant once we got their attention, the kitchen was clean, and it was quiet... More

Hostel Old Town Alur has very convenient location within the old city walls. The room was OK. The port can be reached by 15 min walk, the main attractions are within 5 min radius. Couple hundred meters form bus stop from the airport.

Always stay here when visiting Tallinn. Great location right in the heart of Old Town, and what is very important - the only one hostel i know here, that has no pubs in 50 meters round, so you can have a good sleep.. but still you can reach any place to have drink within a couple of minutes.

I've chosen this hostel because of its very convinient location. The port can be reached by walk within 10-15 minutes. To reach bus terminal you need also 10-15 minutes. But you shouldn't go to the old town - you're already just there. St. Olaf's Church is in only two minutes of walk. Somebody needs spa? Kalev Spa Hotel almost adjoins... More

This hostel is in a great location in the centre of the Old Town and the rooms are cheap. However, the rooms are pretty grubby, the beds definitely have bugs and the showers are shocking. Me and my friend came to the hostel expecting a sociable atmosphere and things to be going on, but the staff seemed more interested in... More
