Guest reviews for Imaginary Hostel
"The vibe of this hostel is warm and friendly. I felt like a part of the family, or everyone was just in a good mood. Even though I stayed just for a day I met many good and respectful people here, and it seems everyone was comfortable with each other. To be honest, the overall rate is so low in terms of everything you get in this hostel. First of all, the staff was fantastic, flexible and easy-going. Everyone, but I just have to mention Polina - she is such a sweetheart. They seem like a great team. Next, my room was perfect - clean, warm, spacious. There is no extra charge for the services, and the price I paid was really affordable."
"Aucun."
"The location is excellent, the spaces are very cool, in an old and well-preserved building. I really liked the contrast between the old structure and modern facilities, and a young and fun touch in the decoration and graffiti on the walls, which resulted in a very cool atmosphere. The facilities are great, all the spaces are welcoming and warm. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The check-in process was very simple and they stored my luggage until check-in time."
"There was only the option of a mixed dorm room to book, so I booked it because I don't mind. The problem is that I was in a room with 14 beds, and all the occupants of the other 13 beds were men with questionable behavior and hygiene. The room smelled strongly of dirty clothes, foot odor, and people who didn't shower. From check-in time, there were guys sleeping, snoring, and farting loudly (seriously). There were many large suitcases and personal items scattered around the room, but there were no closets or lockers in the room, no space to leave my shoes. Clearly, the occupants of that room were not tourists, but people who lived there, workers, perhaps. They probably had been there for a long time, and the smell had permeated the room. There was a group of young Indian guys, with no sense of respect or community, who entered the room abruptly and speaking loudly. I woke up startled, as it was the middle of the night, around 1 AM. I had to ask them three times to respect the silence because people were trying to sleep. In short, I just wanted a place downtown to sleep before my 7 AM flight, and I couldn't do that at all. The hostel itself is great, but I wasn't lucky with my roommates."
"The location is worth 20, not 10. But you have to invest a lot to get it right. I'm sorry to have to say that. We are like sardines."
"The room space is crowded with beds and there is no possibility for ventilation. Although there were not all 14 of us, it was hard to breathe. I wouldn't do it again"
"Very good,,,location perfect,,,and the best,,,,Price"
"Nothing"
"It is the best place you can stay for the money. The showers and toilets are well maintained and clean. The room that we stayed (double room) was spacious and really clean."
"The room could be better heated, but we stayed in late December and after a few hours of we being inside, the temperature was good."
"The location couldn't be better, in the heart of Tallinn Old town, I have been here a number of times, I like that they have enough WCs and shower booths despite the number of guests"
"I think it's all ok if you consider the price, however this is not so quiet, due to the number of people sharing the same room, people coming and going, but if you are a budget traveler and are used to dormitories you know the deal"
"Location, inside old town and close to all the interesting places"
"Because it's many beds in a single spot it can be noisy with people coming and going, doors opening and closing, but it's ok for short stays"
"Fair priced hostel, it had everything I needed -- clean bed in 4 bed room (only 1 other person there during my stay), kitchen space, you can order coffee from staff (2 Euro Americano/latte), locker under the bed (used my own lock), couch area that I used a couple times, 24 hour reception, security was fine since you had to use a code. Central location, 5 minute walk from gym and grocery store, 15 minute walk from main train station that I took to Narva at the Estonia-Russia border, 10 minute walk to bus stop to get to the airport."
"I'd appreciate a towel being included in the price and not a separate request and cost, if I remember correctly. I think most travelers aren't carrying their own towel so this is a reasonable request."
"Good location. And useful instructions to find the place. Bar available with happy hour and a working space. Bathrooms were clean and bed was comfortable."
"Nothing material - would be good to have more storage/lockers in rooms and more power points in beds"
"Clean and well managed. Paula was helpful and offered good ideas for what to do."
"Suggestion: a small shelf at every bed, where you can put your phone and glasses."
