Guest reviews for Viru Backpackers Hostel
"Great location, great communication, easy to find, great value"
"Aucun."
"Possible early check-in, well-equiped kitchen, free coffee, tea, spacious clean room"
"Light and noise from the street, but not hostel's fault"
"Amazing location right on the main street of Old town. Noisy until about 2300 each night but then was quiet. Check in was easy. The Price was great for the value."
"Aucun."
"For the price I paid, I would book the same place in a heartbeat."
"The only 3 minor things were: 1) The toilet seat was not sitting that well 2) The elevator does not go to the floor with the room, but it does go to the floor above. So it helps a lot, but could be a bit better 3) The instructions to enter the building were slightly long, and as I was not focused, I ended up riding up with an elevator only to have to ride back down to take the room key."
"The place was clean and quiet. Being able to get instant coffee was nice."
"Another guest was knocking at the hostel door in the hallway; we were surprised that there was no staff in between 15 and 16. It took us a while to realize that we need to get our keys from the key lockers. Own fault for not remembering/checking the given instructions, though."
"perfect location, in the heart of the old town complementary coffee & tea was a bonus! also the well equiped kitchen, where one could prepare his meals. very comfy bed & plesant atmosphere in the room, good ligtning & temperature."
"Sometimes noisy from the street passing by. bathrooms could be in a better shape"
"Location in the city centre, close to everything, easy to get in without talking to anyone Really nice apartment and room"
"The water pressure in the shower was pretty low"
"It's cheap and in the center of old town. Anastasiia (staff) is an absolute joy!"
"You have to walk a bit to the hostel because cars can't drive up there. So if you've got more than 2 pieces of luggage, beware. No elevator to the third floor (that's where the check in)"
"The location couldn't be better, it's right in the centre of the city. The room was big, clean, and had a huge window to the street. The bathroom was fine. The no-shoes policies is excellent, it keeps the main areas clean. Self check-in was very easy."
"It's a budget hotel, don't expect anything fancy. But it's excellent for a quick visit to Tallin, if you are not fussy and don't want to splurge in a more expensive hotel."
"Everything was great. Quite place with comfortable bed (had a room for 2) and clean bathroom Easy to find with an instruction provided."
"Aucun."
