Academic Hostel “is nothing else but the insult of the term “Academic”. I had moved for a few months as a Ph.D. research student to the Endla 4 hostel, but I found it the worst place for living. There is no privacy, no respect, no rules. You can face drunk, screaming people all night even in weekdays that can destroy your dream and peace of mind. The strange thing was when I complained about a serious issue to the management, they simply wrote me back that “Endla 4” hostel is for chill and students are free to enjoy their life. The management had offered me another room in the other building near campus with conditions that I will stay in the two-seater room and will pay for both seats. I had made a request that I am unable to pay for both seats and want a shared room but they didn't accept. I had accepted the offer then, as I was in trouble. The staff was also not helpful, even, upon my leaving they made the wrong calculation almost three times But fortunately, I had made my own calculation and finally made them clear. It was the worst experience; I will never recommend this place if you are serious in the study and want to stay for a long time.…

A great place to stay if you're going to be in town for more than a couple days as there's a shared kitchen and refrigerator, so you can make breakfast or other meals if you're on a budget! It's two separate double rooms with a good sized kitchen and bathroom and toilet. We had the whole suite to ourselves, so that was really nice. While it's not in the center, trolleybus #3 is just across the street and takes about 20 minutes to the center. Staff was friendly and helpful and there's free Wi-Fi. Transport passes are cheap; €3 for 24 hours, €5 for 3 days and €6 for 5 days. That's unlimited on all surface transport and will get you to all the attractions around the city, including the beach. I'd highly recommend this hostel

I had lectures in TUT in Erasmus content, and selected Academic Hostel based on some recommondation. I was an amazing experience. I have met several different people in the (24 hours active) lobby on different times; all of them were soooo nice. The design of the rooms were just perfect: each neighbor 2 rooms shared a facility that contains kitchen, bath, and a toilet (towels, refrigerator, all the kitchen tools...) ; which were locked, and could be opened only by the resident of thosr teo rooms; hence still private only to them. Moreover, if you were even luckier enough (like me), your next door might be uniccupied, and you could use the whole facility alone. Interior design of the rooms and facility area were also perfect, new, and soooo clean. When i wanted to go to the city center, i used Trolley # 3 that passes by the bus stop almost in front of the hostel; and o la la: i was in the city center after 15 minutes, i only needed to pay 1 Euro 60 cents to the driver for the ticket; no hassle. It is not fair to name the facility as a hostel; it shall be called as a palace indeed. :-))…

Stayed there for a couple of nights with a friend. She was studying on nearby collage. The hostel is full of young people. Lots of parties going on but after midnight you can sleep nicely. Rooms are nice and big but I shared mine with 3 roommates. Bathroom is small but OK. The hotel is a bit far from the city. That is the worse thing.

Two bedrooms off of a shared kitchen. The WC is in a separate room from the sink so take some hand sanitizer to leave in the WC so you can touch the door knobs (leaving WC and entering shower). It is impossible to have a shower without making the entire shower room floor wet and this can be problematic for those who wander in after using the WC etc. Our linens were clean but friends had hair all over theirs so inspect, inspect, inspect. The shared kitchen has a fridge and a microwave and kettle. The rooms are very hot in July and the light shades do not keep the very early morning rays out. Reception was helpful. Breakfasts at the nearby university were only available weekdays which left us scrambling on the weekends and there is nothing nearby. Be prepared with in room food.…

Clean, shared kitchen & bathroom - everything worked. Helpful Reception. No parking problems. the buts Same price for one person as 2 (value if 2) 8.4 km out of town makes it a long walk. There is the number 3 tram which is fine if you have the exact change 1.6€ but not so good when the bullet headed driver looks at your 5€ note in the same way he would if you had told him to reproduce himself. Breakfast only cost 4€ but .... It comes in a brown paper bag includes a yogurt (I bin you may not - fruit or pastry and a sandwich) oh and tea bag plus something whitish sugary and comes in a Nescafe wrapper to mix with hot water. Better than going shopping .. just! - but if I had known beforehand I would have got in bacon and eggs and a jar of decent coffee.

Not too clean (especially the floor and the stuff in the kitchen). LCD-TV. One can open only 1/5 of the window, it was super hot. The hand wash sink was blocked. Free car park. Refrigerator, two hot plates.

This is very nice place to stay for a night in Tallinn. Two separate rooms connected with one small kitchen , toilet and shower. Nothing luxury, but the bed quality was AWESOME and all was pretty clean and nice. I can recommend this place without any doubt. Next time I am in Tallin I will also choose this place.

Having stayed there twice i can tell that the place is just ok and it's definitely a hostel (not a hotel). Nothing bad and nothing extra nice, it just is what it is. The place is split into 2 room blocks and the 2 rooms share a kitchen and shower/wc. The blocks themselves have a lockable door and the rooms (containing just beds, tv and a closet) are lockable by themselves. It is really low cost and what you get it is a functional kitchen stove / freezer / bed / ancient tv / shower. Internet connection is by cable (bring your own or rent one from the lobby). A food store can be found across the road a bit on the right. If your down on money and just need a place to sleep at, it's ok (i just picked it because it's a few houses away from my office).
