Imaginary Hostel, hotel in Tallinn

Imaginary Hostel boasting a large shared lounge and study area. The hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 1 km from Passenger Terminals A & B and around 0.8 km from Maiden Tower.

The beds in the 4 person bedrooms are really comfortable and sturdy. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they show you around when you check-in. I've seen staff cleaning the bathrooms three times a day. When I was there the hostel organized a movie night with free popcorn. The kitchen is big and well equipped so it's convenient to cook. The location at the heart of the Old town is perfect. It's also 15 min from the ferry and 15 min from the train/bus station.

Tallinn Airport Stay, hotel in Tallinn

Conveniently located in the Lasnamae district of Tallinn, Tallinn Airport Stay is set 1.9 km from Tallinn International Bus Station, 3.8 km from Estonian National Opera and 4.5 km from Maiden Tower.

Amazing location especially if you have an early-bird flight. I got there by public transportation from Old Town in less than 20 min. There is a mall in the next block with several options for dinning. You can safely walk, straight line path, to the airport no matter what time. Reception staff were very helpful.

Villa Kadriorg Hostel, hotel in Tallinn

Villa Kadriorg Hostel is well situated in Tallinn, and features a garden, free WiFi and a terrace. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue.

Friendly staff, nice hostel. Villa Kadriorg is in a great location. If, as we did, you're planning on taking a day-trip to Helsinki then you're a 15-20 walk from the ferry terminals. It is 15 min walk into the Old Town, 10 min walk to the stunning Kadriorg park, and if you're not into walking so much then the hostel is well served by regular tram and bus routes.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    16eur - Old Town Munkenhof is in a great location in the Old Town. The hostel was very affordable and perfect for me passing through. I was exploring most of the time so I didn't spend much time in the hostel, but there was several rooms for relaxing and playing games and also a large kitchen. There was complimentary coffee which was really great. Check-in was super easy using the codes and details provided via Booking.com. I really appreciated this

    I've stayed at a lot of hostels and expect to get what I pay for. This was one of the cheapest, but also one of the best. No weird up-charges, no feeling of being watched, just enough security to feel safe, friendly staff, great facilities, very clean. Free towel?! What?

    Good location in a nice and safe neighborhood. Bunk beds were comfy. There were towels and shampoo in the bathroom. The appartment was nicely decorated. The best value for money. You cant have 5* expectations if you pay so cheap so you ignore small details.

    I loved the very clean lines, minimalist design, comfortable bed, great location and good facilities, given it was an e-experience. we loved the shared kitchen facilities and cafe downstairs. Made me feel like I was in a futuristic upmarket youth hostel with the added benefit of not having to clean. loved it. thank you

    To be honest, it's one of the worst hostels I've been to. the dormitory formula if you are on the 2nd floor.. it's Hasbeen! the showers are in the basement! the locker system is not safe. then I took a single room.. it's better but doesn't correspond to the picture of the website where i booked. You are mistaken ! Globally it's not a modern Hostel. Advantages: it's well located. Disappointed! JEAN

    It was super cheap! That is why I preferred to stay there, my trip was a budget one. The location was perfect, and the access system with self-check-in was comfortable, the room space was enough. The hostel has everything you expect from a hostel. I didn't see anyone in reception (or anyone in the entire hostel) even during the open hours. It was ok since everything was clear.

    I stayed at draper startup house for a week. It was one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. There is always an event going on and it's great for networking and meeting people. The staff was always super helpful. It is not your standard hostel, it is a place where you would feel like in a family. I would definitely recommend it.
