10/10 Exceptional

The kitchen is well equipped, with an oven, refrigerator, microwave, and various utensils, making it easy to prepare meals. The location is excellent, very close to the Old Town, supermarkets, Balti Jaam railway station, Balti Jaam Market, and bus and tram stops. The hostel is also close to the sea, where you can enjoy both sunrise and sunset. I also used the laundry facilities, which was very convenient. The sauna is another great feature, and the friendly atmosphere among the guests makes the stay even more enjoyable.

I loved it here, wish I had more than 1 night. The communal areas were clean and welcoming, with a good kitchen, tables to sit at and comfy chairs. The room was big with only 4 beds in it, a sofa and chair, bed was comfy, WIFI good. Lockers provided in the rooms and luggage storage available downstairs. Free sauna and waffle in the 's morning too - what's not to like!?

The room was simple but clean and well maintained. The building is old but has character. The location is convenient for walking to both the old town and the ferry docks. The morning waffles was a nice surprise.

Verified review

6/10 Good

Well ubicated and not expensive for the location. Our private bathroom smells quite badly, and the curtain of the window is too short and not a black out so the room is full of light since the sunrise. The sauna and pool are free only from 9:00 to 11:00 in the morning (and not all day as written in the hotel description), the rest of the day you have to pay for it. You can enjoy a free waffle each morning only if you appear at 9:00 in the kitchen, because the dough is limited and other customers are not respecting the 1-waffle-rule...

Nice staff, clean room. Stayed in a room facing where the sun rises, so it got hot in mornings, even with the window open. Shared Bathroom near my room was a bit of an issue for cleanliness, but functional and was able to get done what was needed. Disappointed in the limited availability of free access to the pool and sauna-only 9-11am when staying there, otherwise had to reserve time and pay extra. Convenient area-close to ferry terminal for Helsinki and Stockholm, and close to the old town

Excellent hostel to stay close to the old town. Perfect location, cleanliness and service. The basement has a huge kitchen, social area, table tennis table and coffee machines. I definitely recommend it

Amazing Hostel - my en suite room was like a hotel and the common room was so cool to relax in. In terms of location, you step out of the door and you see the arch into the main road of the old town. Staff were friendly and they sold drinks and snacks at reception. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location to get anywhere in the old town area within 20 minutes walk or less. Close to a few beaches, good transport links. Everything was clean & comfortable. The sauna was excellent! Only downside was the room was stifling even with the window open and it was next to a main street that was rather loud at night. Would definitely recommend though and stay again!

8/10 Very good

The staff were very accommodating and helped every step of the way and the location is literally fantastic with a supermarket, the ferry docks and the old town literally within walking distance. The free waffles in the morning are also a massive bonus! The room itself was nice however the walls are made out of paper. I booked the top floor to escape the noise but I ended up not getting alot of sleep and unable to relax. Bring either some comfortable earpods or noise blockers to get sleep.

More Relaxing than Social

Cozy hostel. I stayed 3 nights. Never got the chance to try the waffles because they were always gone too fast. I think you have to be there exactly at 9am to get one. The sauna was super nice though. Staff are extremely antisocial and seem almost annoyed when you ask them questions. Not really the type of hostel to meet people but was a relaxing stay

Great if you manage to avoid the noisy rooms

I booked a private room with bathroom, so not the typical hostel experience. Staff were friendly, the place is clean, well located, the waffles are a great treat, and the room was well heated (March). The lounge area is underground with little natural light so not really somewhere you want to hang out. The main issue was that the initial room was next to the lounge and this very noisy (even though people were just talking and watching TV normally : it echoes a lot), luckily they were able to change my room after the first sleepless night... So pick a room on the 4th floor if you want to sleep 😊, and they're also very cute

Excellent location and value

Hostel is right across the street from the tram, buses and the Fat Margaret area of the old town. The train station is in the area. About a thousand feet down the street is an excellent, full service grocery store, and a convenience store in the other direction. Shopping is otherwise limited. No real sit down restaurants in the neighborhood, but then again it's very close to the old town. On cleanliness, i give them a "good.". That is, certainly it's not bad but overall it could be better. The hostel is in an old building but I had no particular problems. They have a basement recreation room with TV, community kitchen, and sauna which I can't comment on. They also offer a free make-it-yourself Belgian waffle facility in the morning. Also I think that reception is open 24 hours. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
