    We had an absolutely terrible experience with Renata Schreiterfeld, one of the hosts of this particular hostel. We stayed at the flat "Viru Cozy Flat", just around the corner from the hostel, that she advertises on Airbnb & Booking and had to contact the Estonian police in the end of our stay as she was not willing to return our deposit of the flat for NO reason. She also insisted that she would only return our deposit if we gave her 10 as the review score which is ridiculous after the experience we had. There are other really bad reviews about this host so please avoid supporting such criminal activity, I'm sure the hostel is no exception. They will try to scam money from you with any way possible. Unfortunately one of us forgot his phone in the flat and in the end they requested 60e more to send it back. This was truly the most terrible accommodation experience and the rudest host we've ever encountered. Renata has several accomplices (one called Janek) who "work" with her and pretend that they know nothing about what is going on or speak any English. Please DO avoid to save you from too much hassle!

    Great location for a great price. Feels more like a boarding house than hostel. Not much in terms of engaging travelers about whats happening in the area or what to see and do. Also there are locals staying long term sharing the same dorms with short term travelers. Bathrooms and showers are clean. No really common spot to relax outside of the room.

    Cheap hostel in the center of Tallinn. Pretty run down, but you get what you pay for. Receptionist is not very friendly and asked us to cancel our "Booking" reservation and pay at the counter upon arrival. Made guests who came before us wait for quite a while and we had to wait for about 30 minutes as well, for no apparent reason, while the receptionist disappeared. Rooms are spacious, however not very clean oder modern. Open wires on light switches and wires for plugs all over the place did not inspire much confidence. Bunk beds were clean, however very loud, mattresses very saggy (I could feel the bottom of the bed) and uncomfortable. No AC (as mentioned on Booking) and very thin windows without any sort of sound dampening. The location is great, however Tallinn nightlife takes part right under and around the hostel, so loud music and people will be heard until 6 in the morning, preventing possible sleep.

    Bad experience for the luggage storage service through radical storage. Firstly, the boy at the reception is totally umpolite. Secondly, on the radical storage website there is no information about the dimension of the luggage and they told us that our luggage could not be accepted, unless extra money, because it was too big (78x50x30). I want to also inform you all that there is no elevator and the hostel is at first floor and steep stairs. The problem came up because radical storage allows to book a luggage locker and then shows you the structure that i s gonna hold it. Of course this is not an hostel problem

    The hostel was ok with clean facilities, but I give 2 stars because at the beginning I didn't receive a good customer service. The persons were grumpy saying that they will charge a fine around 100 euros when you don't follow the rules. Also, they take a picture of the ID which I think is a little bit weird.

    Majoitus on keskellä vanhaa kaupunkia, etäisyydet pienet. Hostelli on siisti ja puhdas. Käytössä on keittiö astioineen ja jääkaappi ruokien säilytystä varten.Viikonloppuna oli kadulta kuuluvaa meteliä. Vastaanotto oli sopimuksesta auki kun saavuimme puolen yön aikaan. Vastaanoton rouva oli ystävällinen ja palvelualtis. Siivooja tervehti. Majoituksen hinta-laatusuhde erinomainen.

    DO NOT GO!!!! The BEDS ARE DIRTY. They have secret cameras in the toilettes, showers and private rooms. THEY WILL GO THROUGH YOUR LOCKED CLOSET and STEAL your stuff. These people who work there (the check in old woman and a man who pretends to be a quest) are sxsually abusive and threaten to end your life and try to fight you. They will not leave you alone after you leave, they will call 50 times a day for many days and send abusive messages and so on.

    Everything is how you would expect it to be. The bed will be prepared for you by an employee when you arrive, locker and towel are all inclusive. However I didn't like the atmosphere much at the hostel because there are many rather old people who stay there. But of course that is not the fault of the hostel. I didn't have any issues with management as others have complained about here in the reviews.

    Arrived in Tallinn without a place to stay and looked for the cheapest hostel I could find which was here but you wouldn't think it. The staff were very helpful, bathrooms and rooms were clean and there is more than ample utilities in the kitchen. There are lockers in each room that you can reset the codes yourself easily and the location is very central. Would recommend to anyone.

    The worst place I've slept in. The owner Renata Schreiterfeld is a poor immigrant scammer who tries to act polite but is honestly really rude. The hostel itself is located in a wilder but nice~ish part of the old town and it is close to multiple notable landmarks so thats why the location is average, the hostel services are basically non-existent and rooms are awful, my friend had pee in his drawer, the bed sheets are like paper so you'll sweat out 2 liters of liquid, random Estonian men came to my female friends room, people smoked alot and public spaces were trashed/moldy. To sum it up, the location is avarage but no matter what price it is I'd rather sleep in the local prisma.

    This hostel great. They allowed us to book a room at 11 PM because our last hostel had a problem. The owner is really nice. I really recommend this place

    Really good value hostel with private rooms in the middle of old town Tallin. Clean and well stocked kitchen, large bathrooms, plenty of toilets. Rooms are well sized and basic as you come to expect from an hostel. Walls are decent enough that the room is quiet.

    Rude reception and a lot of alcoholics there. If you don't want to have problems, stay away from this trap house. (It is more of a trap house than a hostel)

    Sergej he is a really good host, humble, and friendly, with him you can have a nice chat, he is ready to help and support. Hostel clean, tidy. Bedsheets and bedcover clean, smelling fresh and super white, important to be in a place where the hygiene is priority. Thank you Sergej, wish you the best.

    Okay. So. The price was good for what we experienced on the one night we stayed. Towel and sheets were provided! Which was good- especially for the whopper price of €17.32. However, we were greeted rudely, a minor inconvenience was blown out of proportion. The staff spoke both Finnish and English, and then scolded the people speaking Finnish (not me because I dont even speak Finnish but she was angry with me for some reason). Only seconds later was she then boasting about her abundance of milk and telling us to be at home. We only wish there were to be vegan options at our disposal. Check out was super dodgy, but very efficient. Not sure if we really checked out but sure, its grand. Overall~ strange service but clean and nice time.

    We enjoyed our time at this hostel. Close to the center of old time as well as the modern part city of Tallinn. Staff is very kind and made our staying even more pleasant. The rooms are clean and bathrooms fresh. Maybe it’s a little bit dark inside but not problematicly. I recommend this hostel!

    Perfect, but the prizes are little too high

  • 1/5 Tomáš R. 3 years ago on Google
    Beware. The staff is very unpleasant. I refused a shared room immediately after check in, because it was stinking. I wanted to change it for a single room. The staff asked me a higher price than advertised on booking.com. He refused to give me the price from booking.com, so I said him that I want my money for the shared room back. He told me that he will not give me them. Eventually he did, when I started calling police. Never again!
