Zinc Old Tallinn

I appreciate how clean this place was and the location was amazing. The staff were rarely available and it was hard to get in contact with them. I waited 30 minutes at the front desk one day. I wouldn’t stay here again since it was so difficult to communicate with them.

An unknown lady from my room became violent for no reason towards me and another host. We won't know if she has psychological issues or was just drunk. The receptionist handled the situation very dangerously by locking the two of us with the agressive lady. We could not open the door with our own keys. We had to yell for the receptionist to let us out, he then watched the lady start to attack me before intervening. At least he called the police and gave us another room.

The hostel is on two buildings basically. I notice that the rooms closer to the entry were all with no guests, yet I stayed in a room very further from the entrance, and one level above, I don’t understand why… also men used the women’s toilet which left me a bit uncomfortable. Rather from that, the room was good. Also I received no instructions for the check in, which made me have to call an Estonian number of ANOTHER hostel that was posted at the door (which costs money to call)

I feel compelled to share my experience regarding my recent stay at Zinc Old Town. Having traveled to 38 countries, I found the hygiene and service standards at your establishment to be unlike any I had ever experienced elsewhere. Upon arrival, we found dirty bed sheets and unwashed towels from previous guests. When this was brought to the owner's attention, she admitted to a "3-day cleaning rule." She justified the lack of clean linens/towels by stating that the price we paid was too low to af...

Everything looked clean, but during my 7-day stay I realized they waited 3–4 days to change the sheets, even between guests. The owner said that because the rooms were budget, she couldn’t wash them that often. It was disgusting to know we were sleeping on used sheets. She only cared about appearances and avoiding bad reviews, not real cleanliness.

Very clean and charming hostel with space bedroom. You have everything that you want in the kitchen. Nevertheless, to enter in the hostel it's really difficult. No instructions before and nothing at the door to understand how to open it. I stayed 30 mins outside. It could be stressed. We should have instructions or door code before. Staff is good first but after they can be a little bit rude if there is any issue

nice and clean and very kind CEO.

Everything good, the room nice and clean. One of the lady always keep organize the stuff and clean up the WC and kitchen area. But the worst thing is the pub across the street!!! Music and talking all night long until 5am!!!!

Great hostel, facilities are so clean, the manager is an extremely kind woman working so hard to keep good image of her lovely hostel. Free coffe and tea , and load of free food to use too. I was satisfied with the stay, there was 2 bed bugs on my bed , but that's it. Otherwise all is clean and fine 👌

Muy bien ubicado en el casco histórico de Tallin !

Waited outside ringing the buzzer, calling and emailing them to be able to be buzzed in to enter the building to check in although gave up after an hr and tried again a couple hrs later and had to again wait half an hr to be let in with not much apology from the staff.

IT WAS AMAZING. So clean, quiet atmosphere, wholesome receptionist (probably owner) who walked up and down the stairs to check each and every traveller in by showing them the bed, locker, bathroom, and kitchen. There seemed to be insufficient toilets but somehow there was no crowd, it was clean and good. I love it and I 1000% recommend. Only tiny downside is you have to climb stairs to the reception, then another flight up if you’re staying in the dorms. ENJOY

Everything was how it was expected to be. We had no problems, only concerning the mixed bedroom cleaniness. There was a person who smelled really badly and it was impossible to be inside long. We did not report it to the person that was taking care of the Hostel, so no complait can be made. Overall very good price quality relation!

Awesome location just off Town Hall Square .... other than that ? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Très bien situé en plein centre ville. Sécurisé car code d’accès pour rentrer. Cuisine à disposition. Propreté correcte. Attention au bruit du karaoke en dessous et dans la rue (toute la nuit jusqu’à 6h du matin). Personnel pourrait être plus aimable. Rideaux transparents dans les chambres. Pas énormément de toilettes dans l’auberge.

The location was great, super central in the old town. Had a couple issues, like when I checked in no one was there and I had to wait awhile. Also a random woman approached me thinking I was staff and asked about costs. Overall, it was a good base for my trip.

The lady who owns the hostel is very nice. There was a guest snoring loudly in the room due to a medical condition and she moved him to solve the problem. Very central location as well. Decent value. Overall good

very good and friendly 😊

I had a lovely time over there, Renata and her son were so helpfully and friendly. The kitchen facilities are very nice and there are a lot of things that you can use. I can not wait to come back.

Good option for the price
