Old Town Backpackers

Ambiguously affiliated with Tallinn Backpackers, Old Town BP has a similarly great location (centre of Old Town), atmosphere (friendly free-for-all), lay-out (all spaces communal), amenities (free sauna, large bathrooms), random characters (that Swedish guy that wakes you up by cracking beers open at 9 am), and a seemingly interchangeable staff. Old Town is even smaller and homier than its counterpart with only ten beds, so you may find things a bit quieter here, but you're still guaranteed to have at least ten obligatory, "So how long have you been travelling for?" conversations.

i though old town backpackers was great. met some really cool people. it is a small hostel but very friendly and social, without being too loud or over the top. tallinn was magnificent and one of the highlights of our travels in Europe
