Will choose somewhere else next time
The hostel is on the top floor so I was not happy when I arrived and was told I needed 10 euros for a key deposit. Had to walk all the way down and back up again, not what I wanted after travelling all day. The showers are 2 feet up off the floor, which are very dangerous to get out of. The dorm room I was in had a lock which was very flimsy, I didn’t really feel safe leaving my stuff in the room, the manager didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong when I talked to him about it.

Best location ever! grocery store literally few steps away from the hotel. I booked the private room and it was huge and spacious, had to share the bathroom though but it was not a big deal. Just be aware the hostel is on the third floor and there is no elevator, other than that it was great. The staff were willing to help.

Not recommend for Ladies
It is not easy to find the location as no hotel signboard located. Just a red door nearby Frank Restaurant. A kind man actually direct us while he saw us wondering around. Hostel located at 3rd floor , no lift only staircase (which is fine for me eventhough I have 3 big luggage w me). The hostel is "special" . I am fine with the decoration but I feel unsafe. The room is not as bright and clean as in photo , carpet is dirty and room is smelly. Everything look shabby. There was a man who seem like permanent resident for the 10 person dorm. He would just change his bed from one to one as he like. Kitchen is ok but no breakfast. No wifi from my room. Locker is not available for big luggage . You can just store your backpack on the floor under the bed. No service from the staff as they just check you in and point your bed.

It was great.
It is not that hard to find as some may have pointed out but he long walk upstairs really kills your vibe,indeed. The hostel tries to look traditional while upgrading a few things here and there. So,okay then, why the bad rating? I believe most people rated it based on the toilets or the squeaky floors or the showers. Or maybe just that breakfast which obviously you should not count on. I personally liked staying here as it was really close to all Tallinn can offer. I took advantage of the free washing mashine they have there and I also really liked the staff. For me, it was all ok afterall. I hated when I had to take a shower or go to the toilet but hey, if I managed to get through this, maybe you can also do it. It's really doable. I'm bumping up this hostels rating just because I liked it. Cheers guys!

Good and warm vibes =)
Very good vibe of this place. Warm welcome and helpful stuff. Nice and lovely interior which saves best of Estonian design. Place is in most downtown, all streets and attractions and bars\clubs are nearby. Breakfast toasts and cereals. Coffee & tea available all the time. Don'ts are bit dusty, somewhat noisy because of many good bars here, they should repair beds there was a big hole in it.

Poor service
Check in very difficult, nobody at reception even though i already called i will check in during midnight. Hostel is in 4th floor with no elevator or lift so you have to carry your luggage all the way up. No bath towel given and nobody to ask to (hotel staff came late during the day as it happened to be weekend). Location not easy to find because it was 1 building but there are many different hostels inside and at midnight nobody to ask to.

最悪な初日
元々、こちらのホステルを予約したのに、こちらのホステルは営業しておらず同じオーナーの違うホステルを案内されました。私は何も知らなかったので、真っ暗なホステルで30分以上待ち、こちらから違うホステルまでも住所だけ教えられて放置でした。案内されたホステルの男の人の対応は最悪でした。 女性と朝の担当の男の人はとてもいい人達でした。ですが初日のゴタゴタが最悪だったので評価は高くないです。

Einfachste Absteige
Gemeinschaftsclo auf dem Gang für Dicke und große Menschen zu eng und zu kurz! Gemeinschaftsdusche mit Schiebetür im Winter sicher nicht sehr warm! Primitivste Ausstattung! Alte Dielenböden mit Lack gestrichen. Alte Gebrauchtmöbel. Nur das Bett war neu und wir haben gut geschlafen. Wir hatten ein 3-Bett-Zimmer. Das 3.Bett war eine Not-Liege und bekam kein Kissen und keine Decke! Vom Hinterhof her war es bis spät sehr laut. Das Zimmer war unter dem Dach und über 4 hohe Stockwerke erreichbar. Die Dame an der Rezeption erschien durch´s Fesnter und machte keinen sehr ansprechenden Eindruck. Der Preis war allerdings gering.Keine eigenen Parkplätze, auch nicht zum Kurzhalt, um Gepäck auszuladen.

Большой хостел тяжело держать в чистоте. Хоть персонал и старался, но некоторые постояльцы пренебрегают элементарной гигиеной.
