На одну ночь отличный вариант, особенно для тех, кто любит поезда либо хочет получить необычный опыт
Pros:

Дружелюбный персонал, чисто, дают полотенца. Разрешили заселиться раньше назначенного времени. Очень атмосферно и экзотично. В самом центре города (пару минут до моря и до старого города).

Cons:

Очень мало места в номере, в комнате не открывается окно и нет кондиционера. Душевая чистая, но немного странная (вся окрашена черным цветом, тусклый свет и плохой слив воды).

Pros:

Cool unique hostel. Nothing fancy beds aren't comfy, but therefore it is authentic from the times the train was still in service. Free parking behind fence, accès from the paid gravel parking lot.

Pros:

Sehr gute Lage

Cons:

Es ist sehr hellhörig.
Die Betten sind sehr schmal (geschätzt max 70cm).
Die Küche ist sehr schlecht ausgestattet: es gibt keine Teller oder Besteck, lediglich eine Mikrowelle und einen Kühlschrank.
Es ist nicht klar, ob das Wasser Trinkwasser ist.
Die Duschen sind überhaupt nicht schön.

I don’t recommend
Pros:

It is close to the train station and Telliskivi night attraction. Self check-in/out.

Cons:

It didn’t feel safe. You hear everything happening in the other rooms. There is no ventilation so it can get very hot in the room in the summer (they put a small ventilator but it doesn’t solve the issue).
The room and beds are extra small and uncomfortable. It is supposed to be part from the experience, I guess.
The toilets did not flush when I went. Low value for money.
I do not recommend it. I would only stay there again for 20€ per night (because it is Tallinn and meant to be expensive).

Besonderes Übernachtungserlebnis nahe der Altstadt
Pros:

Gemütliche und außergewöhnliche Unterkunft, sehr zentral am Markt und der Altstadt gelegen. Super, wenn man nur eine kurze Zeit hat, um die Stadt zu erkunden.
Sehr entgegenkommender und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Nur zu empfehlen!

Cons:

Nichts

Nietypowy nocleg w dobrej okolicy
Pros:

Dobra lokalizacja i fajny pomysł

Cons:

Stan prysznica mógłby być nieco lepszy.
Pierwszego dnia nie było papieru toaletowego w toaletach.

Unusual experience, a one-night stay is ok
Pros:

We booked this hostel for one night just because of the experience. We knew it would not be a 5-star hotel, and we got what we expected. The space was comfortable and clean.

Cons:

There was no toilet paper.

Pros:

Fajna przygoda na 1-2 noce. Okolica bogata w puby, industrialne lofty i wystawy młodych artystów.

Cons:

Brak ciepłej wody w kranach. Gorąca woda tyko w prysznicach.

Local sujo e inseguro. A poeira me fez adoecer e perder parte da viagem.
Pros:

Localização: Localizado próximo ao Telliskivi Creative City e ao Balti Jaama Turg.
O local não possui outras vantagens ou qualidades.

Cons:

Cabines: As cabines são seladas, as janelas não abrem, o que as tornam quentes e abafadas. Não possui exaustor ou ar condicionado, é fornecido um pequeno ventilador. As camas são pequenas, mas aceitáveis.

Limpeza: O local não é limpo, o uso do ventilador me fez adoecer em razão da poeira na cabine (rinite e sinusite), o que me fez ter febre e estragou o fim da minha viagem, e ainda tornou o meu retorno extenuante.

Banheiros (banho). O local forma uma espessa lâmina de água, que ultrapassa os chinelos e te obriga a mergulhar os pés na água em contato com o chão. Além disso a porta possui uma fresta, o que compromete a privacidade.

Banheiros (sanitário): Possui dois banheiros, que na minha estadia estavam sujos, com mal cheiro, sem papel higiênico e com pelos grudados no vaso sanitário

Água: A água do local é imprópria para consumo (conforme informado nas torneiras)

Segurança: A porta principal possui sinal de arrombamento e frequentemente se encontrava aberta. (O local funciona com auto atendimento, não há funcionários).

Barulho: Se ouve ronco e conversas dos hóspedes das demais cabines.

Pelo fato de ter adoecido no local, ter ficado impossibilitado de usar o banheiro por falta de papel e higiene, não poder consumir a água e ter me sentido inseguro para deixar meus equipamentos de fotografia na cabine, optei por fazer o check-out logo após a primeira noite e pagar por outra hospedagem. Realizei contato imediato com a acomodação, que informou da impossibilidade de cancelamento. Mas sinceramente, me senti muito aliviado de ter ido para outro local.

A proposta da hospedagem é muito legal, e tem grande potencial, mas os donos estão falhando em questões básicas e de fácil resolução: Instalação de exaustores nas cabines, maior critério com a higiene, reforma nos banheiros ou construção de estrutura anexa, intervenção na rede de água do local. Espero que o estabelecimento se atente a esses e outros pontos e possa oferecer uma melhor experiência ao hóspede.

Pros:

Interesting experience. It's literally a train, so I don't really understand other comments complaining about sleeping... On a train lol.
The area is actually great, full of bars and cafes. Lots of young people around and music, so it's lively in summer. I would like to point out that the owner is very friendly and talkative, rather unusual for people from the north side of the world, so that's a great point for him. Thanks for everything! We had a nice time in Tallinn.
