Top Hostels in Estonia
Espak Hostel
Tallinn
Espak sits on Viadukti 42a, a ten-minute tram ride from the Old Town and five minutes from the Balti Jaam train station for the Narva and St Petersburg lines. Every room has its own private bathroom and a kitchenette with microwave, fridge, and kettle. Self check-in via keycode, free parking on site, and a 9.3 guest cleanliness score.
Ring SPA Hostel
Tallinn
Ring SPA Hostel sits at 130 Õismäe tee in Haabersti, fifteen minutes west of the Old Town by bus but built around a full wellness center with sauna, indoor swimming pool, plunge pool, Turkish steam bath, and a hot tub. Private rooms with private bathrooms, continental breakfast, free parking, and — the only hostel in Tallinn where the sauna is included in your night. 8.7 on 1039 reviews.
Harbour Hub Hostel
Tallinn
Harbour Hub sits on Paadi street, a five-minute walk from the Port of Tallinn ferry terminals and fifteen minutes from Viru gate into the Old Town. Private parking, free bicycles, a shared kitchen that gets used, and a 9.4 guest location score put it firmly on the Helsinki-day-trip circuit.
Viru Backpackers Hostel
Tallinn
Viru Backpackers sits at Viru 5, thirty seconds from the Viru gate and ninety seconds from Raekoja plats (Town Hall Square). Self check-in, a shared kitchen, board games in the lounge and a tight mix of dorms and privates make it the Old Town pick for travelers who want the medieval streets as their front yard. 8.4 on 801 reviews.
16eur - Old Town Munkenhof
Tallinn
16eur - Old Town Munkenhof is the quieter sibling in the 16eur backpacker group, set in a classical building on Munga 4 in the deep Old Town — 250 m from Town Hall Square and literally inside the medieval city wall. Some rooms have private bathrooms, a games room downstairs, free lockers, and bicycle rental. 2331 reviews and an 8.4 score confirm the trade: slightly nicer than Fat Margaret's, no in-house bar, and €4 more a night.
16eur - Fat Margaret's
Tallinn
16eur - Fat Margaret's is Tallinn's veteran backpacker hostel with 4736 reviews under its belt, named after the 16th-century cannon tower it sits next to on Põhja puiestee. €16 dorm beds, a proper shared kitchen, a rentable sauna and small plunge pool, and a five-minute walk to both Raekoja plats and the ferry harbour. Straddles the Old Town wall and the Kalamaja creative quarter.
The Monks Bunk Hostel & Bar
Tallinn
The Monks Bunk is Tallinn's social hostel — an in-house bar on the ground floor, a genuine bar crawl that picks up guests three nights a week, and 656 feet from Raekoja plats on Lai street. 2233 reviews, 8.0 rating, karaoke nights and an outdoor summer picnic area round out what's earned it the title of Tallinn's party hostel without apology.
Imaginary Hostel
Tallinn
Imaginary Hostel is an old building on Vene 33/35/37, the Russian Orthodox corner of Tallinn's Old Town and five minutes from Raekoja plats. Two and a half thousand reviews keep it honest: the rooms are old, the shared bathrooms are basic, but for €18 you get a bunk in a building from the 1600s, a shared kitchen, and a lounge full of travelers from twenty countries. 7.6 for a reason.
