Aiakeskuse hostel

Maia, thank you for the wonderful hospitality! The coffee, Estonian cookies, and clay sculpting class made the stay special. ❤️🇪🇪

Hi, could you please share your email address? Thanks.

The cold shower was the biggest letdown. I got back around 12:30 a.m. after a running event and couldn’t get hot water. It was summer, so I managed with lukewarm-to-cool water, but after such an active day it was really frustrating. Without that, I’d have rated the stay a 4 or 5. The room itself was clean and spacious, with a private bathroom and a shared kitchen guests could use. The furnishings were simple but functional, and towels and bedding were provided. There was a TV, though I didn’t use it. Self check-in was straightforward. The hostel is about a 10-minute walk from the train station and roughly 30 minutes on foot from the castle and center. I’d been told it was a bit out of the way, and that walk does make it harder to pop back during the day. Being closer would have been nicer, though the distance isn’t really a problem.

You can hear a lot through the walls. Snoring from the next room came through clearly, and at 5:30 in the morning there was more hallway noise, with people walking and mumbling. Footsteps out there sounded huge, like an elephant. Trucks on the nearby road were also easy to hear as they passed now and then. The rooms are on the third floor. At least the stairs are wide, and the beds were okay.
