The Monks Bunk Hostel & Bar

“Cheap, but I would have picked somewhere else”

Right in the city old town and close to basically everything you’d want to see in Tallinn. It’s nice that reception is open 24/7, and that you can leave your bag before check‑in and after check‑out if you’re early or exploring the city. The staff are very kind and polite. The hostel itself is a little labyrinthine inside, and the entrance is inside a courtyard not immediately recognizable from the street, with no name to guide you in, only a sign further into the yard saying “hostel.” The steps to the bunk beds (which are more like capsule hotels than actual bunks) are small and hard to climb to the top of. The sockets to charge electronic devices didn’t work either – I was lucky I had my power bank with me. There wasn’t even a proper surface in the room to place or store our things. The staff were very kind, although I had to wait long minutes for them to finish chatting with other customers without recognizing the priority properly. I wasn’t in a particular rush, but not even being acknowledged wasn’t very nice.

The staff were very friendly and the building looks peculiar and historical, which was a very nice plus for me! The rooms were not the cleanest.

“good value for money but not secure or reliable”

I loved how close the hostel was to the old town, literally walking everywhere without needing public transport, which was super helpful and convenient! The staff were lovely and the hostel was very social. However, the cables didn’t work in the bunks, so 12 people fought over one plug socket to charge their phones in the room – no place to lock the lockers to store belongings, so it wasn’t secure at all; anyone could walk in and out as they pleased. The showers and toilets could have been much cleaner, and people slept wherever they liked (in the common area or on the sofas).

“次も泊まりたいと思うホテルではなかったけれど安くてアクセスがいいので一泊ぐらいなら我慢できる。”

Location, staff. It was loud all night. There was a man who was noisy from about 5 am, and I think they should call out for consideration to other guests. Every time someone else shifted in bed, the bed creaked and my bed shook, and a big noise reached my bed. Also, when a train or bus passed nearby, the whole place shook.

“Elava baarikeskonnaga igati korralik hostel.”

I slept in a shared room for 10 people. Everything was clean. The mattress on the bunk bed was a bit firm. For an extra fee you could buy a lock to lock your luggage under the bed, which otherwise was open and large enough to fit a big suitcase neatly. The kitchen was tiny, so I didn’t really use it or know how to evaluate it. The common areas were decent and clean, and there were enough toilets and showers. Although there was a bar on the lower floor, it was quiet during the night. Even on the street there was no noise from the neighboring apartment when it rumbled.
