Majaka Hostel — Hotel in Tallinn

Absolutely Horrendous - Stay Away!

I've been to a lot of hotels, but this one is a complete disaster. First off, forget the photos online; this place is a dump. The level of filth is unbelievable. I've traveled the world and never seen anything like it.

I got to the hotel, and there's no one at reception. I waited for an hour, called multiple times, but no one answered. Some guy staying there told me where to find the administrator, but even after knocking for ages, I got nothing. The place is supposedly run by an elderly woman who hardly leaves her room, but good luck getting any service here.

The conditions are a total joke. Windows are smashed in, covered with cardboard. The place is filthy, with dirt and trash everywhere. In the bathroom, there's a hole in the wall filled with empty booze bottles. The ceilings are falling apart, and the common area looks like a dump, with a couch that's completely shredded.

The kitchen? Don't even think about cooking there. It's disgusting. I can't believe I'm even writing this, but people need to know to steer clear of...

we entered and saw nobody, then an old lady wrapped in a bath clothe showed up and spoke Russian only. I understood one word out of 16 maybe. The room was ok although not having a key to lock it. Yes we slept with a door anybody could open. wanted to wash my hands before going to cook something in a dreadful public kitchen, the """water""" had this horrific squidfish stink. Not even kidding. Luckily we had some shampoo on our own that I washed away with some drinkable water. Don't want to imagine what would have happened if I rinsed my face with that water first. In the middle of the night some drunk Russian/Ukrainians (there were some Ukrainian refugees) started fighting and shouting. The day after I fled in fear. AND IT WAS FABOLOUS, WHAT AN EXPERIENCE I'D...

Second sketchiest place I've ever been.  This place is a health hazard. This is the place your parents warned you about.  Don't stay here.  The room was extremely dirty and needed desperate repair. There were holes in the walls and ceiling. Windows were covered with cob webs. walls had questionable stains and missing the baseboards. The bathrooms and kitchen were more disgusting.  The bathroom smelled like a mix of urine and a decaying animal. There was mold on the walls and ceilings. In the hallway exposed electrical wires can be easily viewed. My friend and I accidentally booked this place since we were unable to make our initial accommodation spot due to a mechanical issue late at night. ...
