I stayed in a private room. I am only 5'10" and the bed was too small. The sheet only just covered the bed. The private rooms are not that flash especially compared the Old Town in Riga

The staff and location really make this place. The only drawback is the pipes getting clogged and over-flowing (landlord, you need to fix this problem -- shame on you!). However, the staff keep it clean and it is a comfortable hostel.

The one computer is nearly always busy and is likewise restricted after 23:00. It's not quiet, it's not loud; it's just really not much of anything at all. Tallinn is a great city best experienced from a different hostel.close

The location is the only good thing about this hostel. There is a girl from the staff that is just nuts, not friendly at all. The cleanliness could be better and the place is so small that you don't feel comfortable there. I would not stay there again.

It's like a party in your apartament with a lot of friends, it could be great but not for all. For example in winter with heavy luggages IMHO in so small rooms for 6 could be difficult your stay. For example at the main level the have 1 shower+wc and 1 wc for 12 beds.close

Smack in the middle of old town, walking distance to everywhere. No lockers, and the 8 bed dorm was a walk-through to another room and shower. The shower, limited hot water, 1 toilet that I saw, not enough to handle all the travelers. Room wasnt kept, showed to my bunk, with someones elses stuff on it, and it was just thrown to the side.

An odd experience, since a broken pipe shut down parts of the hostel, so hard to judge. Staff was friendly and fun, and an interesting group of characters were always around, but little in the way of security.

Other than a lack of signage, Monks Bunk was a fantastic hostel. Right in the center of town, near lots of cheap food and far too many bars. It was like a house party all-day and every night. Good fun. Thanks Timmmmy
