Old Town Backpackers

-A small, cozy place for travelers to call home for a short time, to drop their backpacks and recharge their batteries before continuing on their voyage of discovery.
-The oldest hostel in town for travel-minded worldly backpackers.
-Excellent Location to explore Tallinn's Old Town.
-Books, Maps, Wifi, Free Tea and Coffee.
-Please note that this is not a party place but more of a small quiet accommodation option with a nice feeling, "a home for travelers."


Tallinn Old Town Backpackers is located in a remodelled 17th to 18th century building. A small hostelry, ideal for individual travellers with true backpacker's spirit who might be more interested in getting to know other travellers over a cup of tea before heading out to get to know each other over a pint of beer. You are also more than welcome to take part in the nightly Pub Crawl offered from one of our sister hostels.

If guests are interested, we can arrange day-trips to Lahemaa national park, former military city Paldiski and other interesting places of Estonia! You can also take part in a prison tour of Patarei prison, try shooting guns on the shooting range or, during the high season, take a fun trip with other backpackers to Riga, the capital of Latvia!

The staff are experienced travellers from all over the world! Currently it's mostly a one man show with Jack from the United States (who has been travelling for over a year already) as your hospitable host. We are always more than happy to advise where to stay, what to see and to provide info on all we can that you just won't find in the guide books!

We look forward to welcoming you to the humble hostelry and to Tallinn!

Please note that our staff is available most hours of everyday. Please let us know in advance your approximate arrival time or of any delays so we may be here to greet you!

Thanks,
Old Town Backpackers Hostel

Directions

We are conveniently located and easy to find in the edge of Old Town on Uus street 14.

If arriving from the harbor first street you should encounter, when heading towards Old Town, is Väike Rannavärav. Continue to follow South and it becomes Uus Street.

If arriving from the bus station take a Tram #2 (stop Mere-Puiestee) or #4 (stop Lastemaailm) to Old Town, walk through the Viru Gate, which is located near both tram stops, and turn immediately to the right (away from McDonalds... please stay away from Mcdonalds).

If arriving from the airport take Bus #2 to the city center (bus stop Viru) where Old Town and Viru Gates are located nearby.

Again our address is Uus street 14, which is just opposite the Lithuanian embassy. Ring the bell or knock on the window and we will be waiting for you with a warm cup of tea/coffee and ready made beds!
