I stayed at Villa Kadriorg Hostel last night and had a generally pleasant experience, but there are a couple of points worth noting. While the rooms in the male dormitory are simple and perfectly functional, I believe a small design adjustment could greatly enhance the atmosphere. Switching the lightbulbs to a warmer type, such as 2700 Kelvin, would create a much more inviting and cosy environment. It’s a minor change that could make a significant difference in comfort. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay, but a few improvements could elevate the experience even further.

Firstly, there’s no clear information provided for guests checking in outside of working hours. For instance, a group of Vietnamese ladies arrived around 9 a.m. but couldn’t open the door. Fortunately, I was just about to leave and let them in, but they still had to wait until 12 for the receptionist to arrive. This could be a frustrating experience for anyone in a similar situation, and I’d recommend implementing a clearer system.

It is in a good location, easily reachable on foot from the old town. It has the basis appliances, a kitchen with a stove and a fridge, several showers and bathrooms. The bed was comfortable, the place is clean.

The only major drawback for me was the dining room lamp which turns off when noone is walking in the room, so you are either left to dine in the dark or keep waving your hands all the time. It was annoying. Smaller thing which comes to mind is that the place has a feeling of being a little worn down (i am not saying that it is not looked after, because it is cleaned very regulary). It just could use some fresh paint on the walls, that’s all.

the hostel is an old wooden mansion, typical for this neighbourhood - room is basic and with shared bathrooms but all of them are clean and they are plentiful - location is close to Kadriorg palace and within easy reach from Tallin city centre, a tramway stop is just in front of the door - it is a rather quiet place - staff is very friendly and gave us two keys so we could come back individually at different times - we could leave our luggage after check-out for the rest of the day - there is a supermarket and a good eating place close by

nothing to mention

I had my own room so space was good and had a nice view. The layout of hostel was really good as toilets and showers were nearby. The room was clean and no signs of dirt or bedbugs which was a a plus! The location was great as there’s lots of transport options nearby. Also a cafe very close by as well as shops around. Heating in the room was adjustable which was great!

- The kitchen was sparse of facilities like plates, cutlery, tea cups; definitely need replenishing. - The pillow in the room could use an upgrade, it got flat very quick, also seems overused. - Not sure if it was just the shower I used, but there was no hook to hang your towels or clothes so had to put them on the floor. Just these little things, otherwise everything else was great.

Hostel is at very nice location, probably best location in Tallinn, since everything is nearby. Rooms do it have much stuff apart of beds, drawers and coat hangers. However, it is more than enough to enjoy your comfortable stay in warm and cozy place. A bit shot out to the polite staff members who were very helpful with all information and willing to help to find a space for another overnight during the full house dates. It is a perfect price for a FULL ROOM TO YOURSELF in the city centre- I guarantee. All amenities like shower gel, laundry, etc. are available as extra services on reception.

Rooms size - it is small but enough to to stay an overnight. It is perfect for the short term booking (spending a weekend in Tallinn). Top issue which I have had - sound isolation. The sound isolation is not existent at that point. If you are light sleeper- please consider that before you book. I am not a light sleeper, but it was disturbing time by time. Gladly all guests during my stay was quiet and polite, but you can still hear people walk or chatting in the neighbour rooms. When I shared the feedback to the reception - they kindly offered me to purchase the ear plugs which they sell in the reception.

The room looks like a hotel not those typical bunkbed hostel. I got the full room to myself during my stay. Close to the center and ole town. Tram and bus stop is just a 3 min walk from the hostel. There is a restaurant beloe the hostel. What i didnt like was the place itself was kinda dark. Hallways sre dimmed lighted.

The hostel is clean and very cosy. I chose it because it is a pleasant walk to Tallinn's Old Town and you can stay in a rather residential area of Tallinn surrounded by greenery and gardens. Excellent position to visit the Kandriorg Palace and the park (Kaddrioru Ioss), besides to make a beautiful walk on the waterfront Reidi tee and Pirita tee; among the attractions to see I signal the statue monument to the Rusalka, the KUMU Museum and the Kadrioru kunstimuuseum, I then pushed myself up to the beach of Pirita with a bus. The Kandriorg district is very beautiful and elegant, in addition to the cafeteria restaurant Faeton right below the hostel, I also highly recommend the NOP Cafe and Shop (NOP Kohvik ja Pood) a few steps from the hostel, you can also eat in the garden, it is a wonderful cafeteria bistro!

The hostel is very conveniently located both for the ferry and for places of interest. The receptionist is a professional in his job. Very courteous and detailed answers to all my questions, not only about the hotel, but also about the city.The rooms had an individual design. This creates a very pleasant, cozy environment. Level hotel, not a hostel 👍

Shower and toilet on both sides of the reception (far from each other). There is no trash can in the shower room (necessary). The front door to the hostel is hard to open from the inside).

Location is very good, close to Kadriorg Palace and parks. Building is interesting, looks historical. In the room window was opened which is veery important bec it was hot summer day. Many hotels in Tallinn does not allow to open window. So here it is a big plus!!! Woman on reception is very friendly and helpful. In that building there is restaurant.

Everything was good.

The villa is very well located. The rooms are comfortable for two people. Sometimes there was a bit of dust but it was overall clean. Most of the nights were impeccable. The bathrooms were very comfortable.

The first night, we were disrupted by very loud people but the other nights went very well. In addition, to be able to check in at night, we had to cancel the reservation and rebook with an option to pay in advance.
