There were bedbugs in hostel

The hostel is well overdue for a deep scrub - so much that it is beyond the volunteers work load I believe. There were suspicious drips on the walls around my bed that were really filthy, and between the bunk and the walls there was so much filth as well. I'm surprised and happy I didn't get bedbugs. The couches in common aereas feel a bit dirty as well. Pretty loud hostel but it's calmer after 22:00. Overall not my type of place but if u like big party hostels, u might feel just at home there.

I stayed the first night in a bedroom with fourteen, which felt cramped, not very clean, and impersonal. After, I had a 8-person female bed dorm which was a great improvement: very spacious and it even had a balcony! The noises from the hostel were definitely bearable and I was able to meet quite a few people. Sometimes there seem to be more staff than people (even though not all of them were very friendly or clean), which gave a bit of a weird vibe. Also no bed bugs for me!!

Woke up with bedbug bites. Alerted the staff. The way they treated me was dismissive, argumentative and immature. They argued with me over everything, refused to refund me for the first night, laughed at me, and kicked me out of first the room, then the hostel later. They should be doing everything they can to apologize and take responsibility, considering the severity. This will be weeks of my life dealing with this, and I know because I've been through this before.(5/10 so the review displays)

I get that people complain about bed bugs, honestly you just have to expect when backpacking at this point and it’s not a huge problem. i know like one person that had a bed bug problem but what’s wrong with a little company. loved it, pub crawl deal was super great, one hour of unlimited tap was my favorite challenge. staff was great

My friend got bedbugs from this hostel but other than that I had a great time here.

The beds are so comfortable! No bedbug problem as of jan either. Some of the toilets could be disgusting though. It was quite noisy and bright at night too, but the hostel does provide earplugs!

Nice place, but a bit dirty in toilets and showers. I like that they plan events, but I went to one and no one went besides me. Staff was either very nice and helpful or completely standoff-ish. No bedbugs anymore, so I was very happy about that

great place to stay if you’re looking for a social hostel. very easy to meet people, lots of events. was a little concerned about previous reviews of bedbugs but all was good!

Unfortunately, bed bugs are still an issue as of mid December 2024, I got bit all over. Otherwise: Cozy, cool, old hostel. Friendly staff, good common area, I found all facilities adequate, & beds comfortable. Cheap happy hour drinks & enjoyable pub crawl.

i loved the narrow stairways and wide windowsills; the building is located in magical oldtown and felt very historical itself. a cool place altogether now, there was bedbugs in a bed in my room, as there might be in a any hostel. i found the staff to be responsible on the matter; they explained their prevention protocol, let me cancel the rest of my stay and washed what i wanted washed to make sure i wouldnt be afflicted. i think they handled the situation as well as a hostel can :)

Great location & overall cozy hostel. Unfortunately our beds were infested with bed bugs so we left after one night. They had bed bugs a couple of weeks before and apparently they weren’t able to get rid of them. Staff didn’t seem to have a proper protocol in place on how to approach the situation and didn’t know that those things hide not only in mattresses but also in cracks in the bed frame etc… don’t wanna blame the hostel on the bugs but if you can’t get rid of them that’s bad …

Only writing this because I am covered in bed bug bites 😂 their cleaning system seemed a bit questionable, evidently because of the bed bugs. They also give you a key which is useless because none of the dorms lock and the choice of bed is a bit of a free for all.

The hostel is nice and located in the very center. There are some weird subjects walking around, but it is overall ok. The beds are comfortable but one of our group got bed bugs bites. The bathrooms are ok, the common areas are ok but quite dirty.

I have been traveling for the past 12 years and this is by far the worst hostel experience. The level of cleanliness is just sickening; disgusting mattresses with bed bugs, disgusting bathrooms with p*** all around, weird people going around, I got miraculously lucky with my roommates because they were nice and the location was good. Other than that, I strongly dont recommend this hostel particularly if you are a solo female traveler.

Hate to write this kind of review but I have been left with no choice. Hostel itself was ok (nothing special, good enough for the price) but my bed was infested with bed bugs. I have received over 50 bites all over my body and barely slept during the night. Unless you wish to have an experience of severe pain, I suggest you avoid this hostel until their hygiene levels are resolved. (Avoid room 6, one of the beds there or maybe more is in question). Ruined my experience of Tallinn completely.
