    Room condition, mold and lots of crack on floor and lots of nails and screw on walls. Also workers speak only Russian when we was.

    Common kitchen was really good, available 24/7. Hotel yard, it was surrounded in fence and dogs was allowed. Near to center and easy access to harbour.

    Everything worse than in north korea.

    Everything worse than in north korea. Starting from paper walls, human hair remains on the mattress and yellow stains show the true face of the hotel. The cleaner's abilities are legendary, the cleanliness remains "sparkling". Washroom is outstanding place one for one floor. Mold covered on walls in the shower and toilet, ceilings, tiles, not clean toilet, even after cleaner's visit, full of brownies and other body fluid surprizes, on the tiles and floor. After the hotel manager's visit to the toilet, I found dirt marks on the side of the toilet seat. If the hotel manager himself does not sit on the counter, then what is your visit worth? The walls are full of protruding screws. Smell is "nice" in all building. Windows opening not working in my bedroom. Recuperation system is shutdown manually by owners, to save heating costs, exhaled air do not leave the room or building. If window opening working, then you try open, street voices coming in full level, you cant sleep in that way, then you close window- cant breath, only choices. All furniture and room lighting is from office. Refrigerator working loud, not cleaned. Walls full of dirt, old office blue wallpapers hurting eyes by optical sphere, cause its not intended for residential use, it violates the requirements for furnishing residential premises. There is no electric kettle. Microwave was not cleaned in this century. Opened microwave and founded brown watery surprise. I wanted to warm up a sandwich in the microwave, but I puke when I opened the door. The cleanliness is disgusting, despite working as two cleaners. Internet was working, so you can find another place to sleep. Car parking was free, near building. There was no parking inside yard after fence. The hotel manager spoke only Russian, and could not speak even a few words in English. In terms of value for money, it is better to sleep in a car than in this hotel.

    Its outstanding place for those who like to deal with russians, close to the airport, the location of the hotel awesome despite you like public transport running under the windows :) and these are all advantages.

    Sketchy, filthy and felt unsafe - please pay more and stay somewhere else.

    I've travelled alone and stayed in hotels and hostels quite a bit, but this must've been the worst I've ever experienced. Where to begin? - The whole "hostel" felt very unprofessional and sketchy; No id was checked on arrival, staff didn't speak any English or Estonian (only Russian and hands-legs), the location didn't have any indication outside that this was a hostel, the building was in a very rough state on the inside (even though it looks fine from the outside), rooms looked filthy and most people who I met while going to the loo also felt quite sketch.. (loud, questionable hygiene, playing loud music and shouting to each other from different rooms). I didn't feel safe or relaxed. - Everything felt super dirty and unhygienic; The walls of my room were visibly dirty and literally had bogeys on them (vom!! Photos don't do justice). Needless to say that I did everything to not touch my walls. This made sitting on bed very uncomfortable, because there was nowhere to lean. The drawers in my room had a thick coat of dust on, the carpet looked very used and dirty and the chair's seat was literally partly black from dirt or stains. The worst part was the shared bathroom. It felt unsafe and unhygienic. I would lie if I said I didn't check the corners and the half-broken ceiling to see if anyone was hiding over there. Also, the loo brush was absolutely filthy and it always stank over there. The location was uncomfortable too - it was in the same room like the lounge/kitchen, where there were always some loud men. As a young female travelling alone, this made me feel uncomfortable and unsafe. There was another loo downstairs which I did not use, because already using the one on the same floor as I was, took some courage. Everything looks better from the Booking.com photos.

    - The receptionist seemed friendly? Even though we were unable to communicate effectively. - The white bedding smelled clean. - The soap smelled nice? - I was able to lock my door after forcing it close (door didn't open or close with ease) - free WiFi

    Stay far away, disaster of a place!
    • Leisure trip

    Now i know where the horror-movie "Hostel" was filmed. Disaster of a place... First there is not a single sign outside that indicates there is a hostel in that abandoned looking building. Pictures are misleading, probably taken a few years ago when somebody actually cleaned that place. After calling the number that was taped to the desk next to the entrance, the administrator lady looked like she just woke up, she came out from a room next door in her sleeping robe and flip-flops and directed me to my room. She only spoke Russian so she had to use Google translate to communicate with me in Estonian. The whole place looks like it's in the middle of being demolished and it smelled like somebody has been rotting there for years. The bathroom down the hall was dirty, the room was filled with dust and smelled like the rest of the building. I was afraid i was going to catch a STD from the bed if i had decided to stay the night. Literally stayed in that room for 5 minutes til my taxi arrived and i got the hell out of there. How this place is rated 6,1 is a mystery...

    Did not like a single thing. Stay far away!

    Whole place smells bad, ground floor like a dog that wasn't bathed whole life, then the room like spoiled cheese and used sockes. There is no reception, bathroom is dirty and moldy, the whole place is run-down and the room is squat like place, with few beds, fridge, chairs and coffee tables, that are used to store peoples' belongings (including food). I've booked different place and haven't stayed there...

    The only positive thing is proximity to airport

    The staff didn’t speak any other language besides russian, reception was non-exisistent, there was smell of alchohol and smoke in the hallways. Our room looked like it was recently built around a lobby at the third floor - there were wires hanging from the ceiling, nails from the wall etc.

    it was close to the airport, which is why we chose this place to stay
