Viru Backpackers in Tallinn

I had a great stay at this hostel.
The place was comfortable, and the private rooms with shared bathrooms were quiet and convenient for a few days of rest. The bathrooms and shower weren’t perfectly clean, but still acceptable.

The location is excellent — very central and close to everything.

The staff were also very helpful. I arrived early and was able to leave my backpack before check-in, and they let me store it again after check-out, which made everything much easier.

Overall, a pleasant and convenient experience. I would stay here again.

I had a lovely stay here! The hostel was cozy and very quiet so I slept well. The bed was also very comfy.
The location is ideal as you have everything you need within a very walkable distance.
I’d defiantly stay again

A cozy and good hostel with a perfect location! A safe choice the next time I need accommodation in Tallinn.

Nice little hostel with only private rooms. The staff was helpful even out of the reception time. Self check-in was easy. Small kitchen fully equipped. Great location in the old town. Courtside room are quiet.

Good value for money.
Positives: Bright, spacious and clean room (no. 12) with large windows and two comfortable chairs, right in the heart of Tallinn. The kitchen is well-equipped, and there are plenty of couches, tables, and chairs available.
Things to note: The room can get quite hot in summer. The communal area has no windows, and the sensor-based lighting switches off rather quickly if you sit still, which can be annoying. The atmosphere feels a bit impersonal, and since there is no staff on site between 16:00 and 08:00, late arrivals are not greeted in person.

Could be a little bit more aesthetic, but it was cheap. The instructions were also a bit unclear and we embarrassed ourselves few times. Location was excellent, surrounded by all the Finnish karaokes. Perkele.

great location. clean. empty whenever was there. showers had a bad smell. perfect location.

Good sides:
From the hostel, you can go to the old town square in only one minutes. The location is centeric.
You can self check-in without contacting anyone.
There is a kitchen and there are many different facilities for cooking in the kitchen.
The toilets are clean.

Bad sides:
The walls were very thin, I was able to hear other people easily even though my door was closed.
Check-in is done after 3 pm, so you have to wander in the city with your bag/luggage until 3 pm.
The toilets and washstands are in different places.

The hostel is extremely central to the point that you get envious looks when you leave. Being a hostel you have to share bathroom and toilet facilities. But both were clean. One of the showers on my side, I'm not sure if there were more, was rather small, and in neither of the two could you put the shower up on the wall. I never had to wait for a shower or the toilet. The bed was comfortable. I had a room by the front door, but it didn't disturb me, even though you have to take your shoes off when entering. My room was very quiet, but I did hear a family complaining about the noise on the other side.

À very excellently located perfect value for money hostel. Me & my friend stayed over the weekend and we had 2 separate room for each of us one with bathroom attached (3rd floor) and other with shared bathroom (5th floor) . Everything was fine , rooms were good sized , bathrooms clean. Staff co-ordibated well online & clear instructions. Staff was available all the time just a ping away . Location so good that we can walk to Viru mall in 4 mins & also to the other big mall Stockmann further ahead 5 min. On other side of the hostel starts the old town , not even a minute walk . Excellent bakeries cafes restaurant & also shopping & great tourist attractions buildings in walking distance of 5-10 mins . Even the famous balti market is 15 mins on foot . If you go on short trip & want to explore lot this is the best place. Hostel has many suggestions for to do things listed on its black board in the central hall at reception & other kitchen facilities if you want to cook a small meal or make tea coffee . I found this place very convenient & great value for the money .
