Set in the centre of Tallinn, Neotel is situated 1.3 km from Russalka Beach and 1.5 km from Kalarand. The property is around 2.4 km from Tallinn International Bus Station, 2.4 km from Maiden Tower and 2.5 km from Niguliste Museum-Concert Hall. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and a shared lounge for guests.

Featuring a shared bathroom with a shower, rooms at the hostel also feature free WiFi, while certain rooms also offer a city view.

Neotel is designed as a simple and basic hostel, a place to sleep, clean up, and keep your stuff. If that is all what you need then Neotel is a great option. Our room was quite large and had plenty of space. Check in was very easy, as you they give you a code which you can use to access the hostel floor and your room. The hostel itself is fairly small (only ten units), which means it was never loud or crowded. Our room and all of the facilities were very clean and well maintained.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Good location in a nice and safe neighborhood. Bunk beds were comfy. There were towels and shampoo in the bathroom. The appartment was nicely decorated. The best value for money. You cant have 5* expectations if you pay so cheap so you ignore small details.

    It is obviously a great location in the heart of old town. The staff was very welcoming and nice. The hostel has plenty space for hanging out aside from the obvious bar. The atmosphere is very relaxed and I have already been recommending this hostel to my friends and I would be happy to stay here again!

    - The hostel is located right in the old town which makes it a convenient place to stay when there is not a lot of time in Tallinn. - The double room was pretty spacious and had large windows. - The bed and room were clean. - The kitchen was well equipped with all basic amenities. - Despite being located in a busy area it felt safe to stay there with a secure access to the hostel. - I would stay there again if it was only for 1 or 2 nights

    In a really great location, it only takes around five minutes to walk into the old town. Beds are very comfy and there's a lot of space in the room, and having lockers is extra handy. Handing keys in when you leave the hostel is nice peace of mind.

    It was super cheap! That is why I preferred to stay there, my trip was a budget one. The location was perfect, and the access system with self-check-in was comfortable, the room space was enough. The hostel has everything you expect from a hostel. I didn't see anyone in reception (or anyone in the entire hostel) even during the open hours. It was ok since everything was clear.
