I was on backpacking-holiday in september 2011 and arrived in Tallinn from Helsinki by boat. The Hostel is really easy to reach from the harbor (I used the Tallink ferries) and located in the old Tallinn (it's awesome!). Thus, the building is historical but in a well shape. the staff was really friendly and in general the Hostel was pretty... More

If you're out for a jolly in Tallinn and just wasnt somewhere with a good location to sleep in, this hostel would be ideal. It's got plenty of room and a minutes walk from the old town square. The bedrooms are ok, but there arn't too many toilets and showers. It's a great place to meet up with other travellers... More

Went to Tallinn to celebrate my 26th Bday. Stayed at Alur hostel and must say had a FANTASTIC time. Was traveling by myself and ended up meeting many people here. 100 points for having the big kitchen and living room which gives you the chance to socialize. Staff was really friendly and made sure to have pub crawl daily. As... More

I arrived there (after 400kms witha motorbike) with a booking confirmation in my hand. The receptionist (absolutely unkind girl) said that I didn't have a room because "they didn't get the confirmation by mail". I tried to explain that the paper in my hand was a "booking confirmation", with a credt card guarantiee, and that meant the booking was already... More

As a member of a 13 strong stag do, I had my doubts that we'd find anywhere that would support 13 lads on a holiday what with all the hassle that comes with it. (late nights/drunken revelry/other misbehavings). When the Alur was mentioned it seemed the ideal place and we couldn't believe our luck when we arrived. A small 5... More

I wanted to spend two days in a budget hostel in the city center. Alur Hostel fitted me because it's right behind the major square of Tallinn and I only spent 15 euros per night in a 12 bed dormitory which revealed to be two separate rooms although communicating. I had a bathroom directly in my room although the shower... More

If you're looking to visit Old Town Tallinn...this is a great place to stay at a cheap price. The place is clean and not a huge party hostel...but it's also not much of a place to just hang out at. So...if you're looking for a place with an inviting reception and lounge area...you need to stay somewhere else. But the... More

This hostel is the worst one which I ever have seen. When we arrived the stuff didn't even welcome us, on each question he was answering in a very annoying way. The rooms are big but not that comfortable and not clean at all. Regarding the bathrooms it is a nightmare, for the whole floor there is only 1 toilet... More

I stayed in this hostel in august 2010 for three nights. This hostel has two big advantages - great location in the heart of Old City and low price. But it is just place to sleep. The room was rather small, very very simple, but rather clean. There was only one bathroom on the floor which was always very dirty... More
