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.

Außergewöhnliche Übernachtungsmöglichkeit
Pros:

Besondere Atmosphäre, trotz Rave-Party nebenan ruhige Zimmer, an Ausstattung alles Notwendige da, war trotz allem eine gute Erfahrung, gesicherter Stellplatz auf dem Grundstück, Zugang über Schlüsseltresor

Cons:

Zimmer können nicht belüftet werden, sehr hellhörig,

Pros:

We do like to experience accommodation that have interesting ideas. So, we thought why not staying in a Soviet era train.
After we arrived we thought thay the idea was not that good! It is more interesting to sleep in train when moving, not when staying in place and have a small fan as air conditioning system.
However, it depends to people wheter like it or not as it is more about experience than regular accomodation.

Pros:

Vuoteet ja huone olivat siistit. Hinta-laatusuhde ok, sijainti erinomainen. Nostalgiamatka menneeseen toteutui. Kelvollinen yhden yön majapaikka.

Cons:

Vessat olisivat voineet olla siistimmät, samoin keittiö. Varatessa ymmärsin, että kohteessa olisi jonkinlainen peseytymistila/suihku, mutta tällaista ei löytynyt eikä ohjeita. Ulko-oven avaaminen oli varsin vaikeaa. Vuode oli odotetun kaltainen, mutta en suosittele pitkille ihmisille enkä todellisille prinsessoille.

Pros:

The staff was very helpful and easy to talk to. I had some problems with receiving information on the app, so I called the staff, and I got plenty of help and useful information. The location is right by the older district of town, and many places to eat. The rooms aren't big, and they are mostly just for sleeping, which for me and my friend wasn't a problem.
The rooms got pretty warm, which is mostly the weather's fault, but our room had a nice unmounted fan that cooled the room to a comfortable temperature.

Happily return for a night
Pros:

Great location, staff were very good in responding to messages (not seen anyone in person), room was clean and mattress comfortable. Yes, room is very small, but you know that when you book this - an experience

Cons:

Bed a bit short for an over 1.75m person. Toilet could with a refresh, music from the bar outside - maybe some more sound proofing

Pros:

Sijainti loistava. Koiraystävällinen paikka. Mukava ja avulias henkilökunta.

Cons:

Huone läpimällä säällä kuuma. Ympäristön viihtyvyyteen ja siisteyteen voisi panostaa vähän enemmän. Majoituksen lähialueella valitettavan paljon lasinsiruja, joita joutui koiran kanssa varomaan.
