Booked here but given a room next door?”

Can only give 3 because whilst I booked for here, I checked in and was given a room next door at Lai22. But the 4bd dorm was comfortable and the place otherwise fine so I just stayed.

Excellent value at the heart of Old Town Tallinn”

Even at off season, this hostel is very popular with budget travellers. It is near the train station and ferry terminal and a bit further away from the bus terminal. This hostel and Lai 22 are actually one hostel. The bar at Lai 22 is the place for socializing.
