Tabinoya - Tallinn's Travellers House — Hotel in Tallinn

Location: The location is in the heart of old town near the main town square. It’s quiet and easy to access. Even though in a pedestrian area the cabs can go up to the hostel. The train station & tram/bus stops are very close by. The main bus station is 10mins by cab approx €4.5-5. There are multiple restaurants close by and the art district is also walking distance. The tourist office is 5mins away. |2. Property Facilities: Check-in desk is manned till late. All doors are locked post evening & can be opened only with the keys provided so pretty safe. The reception is on 2nd floor (Grnd+2) with no lift. The common dining room has a small kitchen area with microwave, coffee machine, toaster & cooking stove. Laundry is available in-house for €3 per load. WiFi was good. Shoes have to be kept outside the reception in the common shoe rack. |3. Food: The breakfast was basic with bread, cheese, cold cut, jam, cereal & freshly made coffee/tea in the kitchen area from 8-10am.|4. Room: The girls dorm (4 beds) was small with 2 bunk beds and a sofa. Lockers were provided but they were big enough to fit a small 20L backpack/laptop bag. Had to keep my backpack below the bed. Towels offered at reception-not sure if paid (I used my own). Bed was comfortable. Comforter provided was ok for the summer weather. Bed was comfortable enough. Plug points available near both beds and reading lamps for each bed.|5. Bathroom: The bathrooms was inside the room shared for 4 ppl so not bad. There are no toiletries just hand-wash & toilet paper. A small mirror above the sink|6. Staff: staff was very friendly & helpful. Good place to interact with other travellers too. |Overall very good...

Tabinoya is average at best.||It has a very central location and a free simple breakfast and that's where the good stuff ends. ||Staff are knowledgeable but extremely curt, and noticeably upset at least 2 of the guests during our stay. ||The common room is a table with 5 chairs and a small kitchenette! Haha! There is not enough room to relax and converse with other travellers. There's cosy and there's ridiculous and this is ridiculously hopeful.||The bed I was staying in had broken slats, the springs poked through the mattress and the sheets don't fit the bed. I ended up having to sleep on the floor to get to sleep. It wasn't ideal but it was better than the bed I was expected to sleep in. ||The hostel operates a quiet period between 11pm and 8am which is a fabulous concept only you still won't sleep owing to the chaos that goes on in the street underneath your window each night. You're in the very centre of Tallinn, remember? I am not a light sleeper AND I wear earplugs, so that should give you a good idea as to what to expect in terms of noise levels. ||I feel so disappointed as I have had so very few negative hostel experiences and unfortunately this is right up there with them. Plus the great reviews made me think I was in for a gem of a stay. I guess if you don't sleep much and don't mind the state of your bed then this is an ideal place for you but the truth is, is that it becomes apparent very quickly as to why...

Tabinoya appartments are really nice. The one I had it was quite big. It was suitable for up to 3 persons (one big bed and a big couch), both options were extremely confortable.

Kitchen was really ok, close to full equip, the only missing feature was maybe a dish clean machine, even so, that's not so important.

Big bathroom, with washing machine for laundry.

Stuff was really nice and helpful, since they gave us a city map with the best locations to visit, where to eat cheaper and a bit more expensive, where to go for a free tour and so on. So that's great, thank you guys :-)

Only two inconvenients I found. Bathroom had hitter on the floor, but it did not work. Additionally, as it is a really old apartment in the center, there is no elevator. Take that into consideration if you are travelling with babies (that was my case).

Even so, highly recommended! I really enjoyed my...
