Tallinn Backpackers

Tallinn Backpackers is a hostel at Olevimägi 11 in a historic Old Town building in Tallinn, Estonia, around the corner from Town Hall Square. Olevimägi is a short street in the lower Old Town near St Olaf's Church, one of the tallest medieval church towers in the city, and the surrounding lanes contain many of the Old Town's restaurants, cafés and museums. Town Hall Square, the Niguliste Museum and Toompea hill are all within a few minutes on foot, which makes the hostel an unusually central and inexpensive base for a medieval capital. The Old Town is largely pedestrianised and cobbled, so most arrivals complete the last stretch on foot from the tram stops near Viru Gate or from Balti Jaam station. The atmosphere is that of a traditional backpacker hostel, with shared spaces encouraging guests to meet and swap travel tips, appealing to solo travellers, young visitors and groups on a limited budget. Accommodation is offered as Dorm beds and Private rooms, and rates run roughly €18-40 per night depending on room type and season. Amenities listed include wifi, a shared kitchen and lockers, so guests can prepare their own meals and store valuables securely. The hostel does not advertise a restaurant, spa or pool, and guests who want a full breakfast usually eat at nearby cafés. Service is informal, with staff typically able to suggest walking routes, free or low-cost sights and nightlife in the area, though specific services should be confirmed when booking. Because the building is historic, room sizes and layouts vary, and noise from the lively Old Town streets can occasionally reach lower floors. For travellers who want to stay inside the medieval centre of Estonia's capital without paying hotel prices, the hostel offers a practical and sociable option.
