    Very friendly place, good stuff. Great location. Affordable price. Clean. Rooms okay, beds okay. Breakfast could be much better, with the same expense made to arrange it.

    Best hostel I've stayed in, in a long time. The location is great, situated inside the old town but close to the walls and the wider city. The location is all quiet and the atmosphere inside the hostel is great. The staff were very also very friendly and welcoming. Thank you Knight Hostel! 🙂

    It should be emphasized that this hostel has a very good location for sightseeing in Tallinn. During my stay, the hostel was not very busy. The hostel was clean, neat and well-kept rooms. The crew is very communicative and will be happy to help and answer guests' questions. I can confidently recommend this place!

    Bad hostel. They don’t maintain the hostel anymore because it is closing down. So I told the manager that I was not satisfied by the fact that the door of our dorm can’t close, he told me that it was too much effort to fix it because they are closing down. Also, he told me that I should not expect security because the hostel is only 12€ per night. The self check in was a nightmare as well, had to wait in the rain for 15’min because they forgot to send me the checkin codes, then they told me that it was Hostelworld a fault etc. The showers full of mold, it did hurt my throat when taking a shower, there is no social vibe and the toilets are broken. I am a budget traveler and don’t expect much of cheap accommodation, but this hostel simple doesn’t care about its customers. That is the part that annoyed me the most, therefor I would never recommend this place.

    Located in a very historic building but sadly nothing really special. The prices are fine though.

    For the price was very nice(27eur/night for 2 persons) but ventilation is not the best, and it gets pretty hot in there.

    Fantastic location, but everything needs a good clean and furniture needs renovating.

  • 1/5 Unohdettu O. 1 year ago on Google
    The smell in the shower was terrible. Toasts, bananas and coffee as a breakfast.

    The hostel is pretty average. It's quiet and relaxed. Check in and check out is done yourself! The staff are nice and speak good English!

    Nothing special. Pretty moldy and dirty place but it works for sleeping. There is supposed to be breakfast but sometimes they just skip it. Noisy street at night (pub next door). If you are lucky you can find some one to socialize with.

    Great location and price. Staff is friendly and gives good recommendations. The rest is not so good. No soap in down toilet, balcony is constantly occupied by smokers, breakfast is weak. But that's why it's cheap. :) No free parking. Nearest is 20€/night. Hostel's recommendation is 10 min walk away, 10€/night.

    Great location, very clean and home like feeling, cozy. Will recommend to others. Breakfast was a bit limited in variety but excellent considering the cost. Bed was a bit worn out, could feel the springs poking my back, the rooms can probably be noisy at times as earplugs were on the pillow next to the welcome chocolates.

    Very nice and quiet hostel. Very cheap, and easy to reach the bus station or the airport by tram. It's perfectly clean, there's never much noise, it has a large common room and a small terrace. There's a constant supply of pancakes for breakfast every morning.

    Nice hostel ! I arrived after the midnight, even the reception was closed, they left my key and the letter to the near hostel and show the map on their front door. It’s really kind for me. Also, they provide a local candy and the free earplugs for the customer. Every one should take off the shoes when entering the hostel, thus the floor is clean and really makes me feel at home. It is a small hostel with few toilets and shower rooms, but it was not a problem for me. Breakfast is normal. The receptionist will cook some pancakes at the morning, and there are toast and various jam. Also the milk and oatmeal. It not very special but enough. I was really appreciate for their kind service.

    Wickedly close and easy enough to find. The alternative tram from the airport is Tram 4, took me about 24 minutes to Freedom Square, then about a 5-6 minute walk. It's true about the chocolate on your pillow! You even get a towel and a pack of ear plugs to use by your chocolate! The welcome was great. Informative and extremely helpful, given a map with recommendations. Payment was very easy and the WiFi is fast. Tea & coffee and use of the kitchen (plus utensils on tap if need be. I like the fact that on entrance you take your shoes off and use their slippers to walk around the hostel. Front door (there are two with lock and code which seems pretty secure. Location is pretty much bang on by the Old Town and very close to public transport. It's tucked away from the main traffic noise which is important if you require a quiet nights sleep. I'm impressed.

    Nice hostel, well placed within old town in Tallinn, easy to reach, very friendly staff. It was a nice stay we've had. For breakfast there are even fresh made pancakes. The breakfast lacks a bit of salty stuff (I know, it's just something we Germans like) but that is fair enough. The only space for improvements are the sanitaries. They're not the newest and not fully equipped (e. g. missing soap).

    Perfect location! The pancakes are amazing! The staff is very friendly and the bathrooms are clean. The beds are way too hard in my opinion other than that i was happy :-)
