Liked: Excellent location on Viru Street, minutes walk to anywhere in Old Town. The staff member (Helemai?) who checked me in was very helpful in advising what to do and see in Tallinn.

Disliked: It was quite loud at night on the weekend. There was noise both from inside the hostel common area and from the street below (lots of drunk British men). For this reason I would probably not stay here again. Otherwise, it's a nice hostel.

Liked: We wound up with an apartment after trying to reserve a private room at Viru.

Disliked: We loved our private apartment but wished the instructions for checking in were a bit more clear as we went to all three hostels (Tallinn Backpackers, Viru, and Monks Bunk) trying to check in...staff seemed did not seem informed as to where we needed to check in

Liked: It was just what I wanted.

Disliked: There were slats missing on one of the beds, this would have been uncomfortable for anyone to sleep on, luckily I had another bed to sleep on instead. Only one bulb in my room, (the other 2 had blown and not been replaced) this made it a bit too dark in the evenings.
