Vana Tom, or 'Old Tom' in English, is the symbolic guardian of the city, so you're sure to feel in safe hands if you book your bed in this low-cost digs. The oldest hostel in Tallinn received a much needed renovation in 2005 and once more offers some of the best value-for-money accommodation in the city. Opt for triple-decker bunks in the dorms (it's crowded but hey, that's what travelling's all about!) or splash out extra on your own room. Despite the cheap prices, the best reason for staying at the Vana Tom is its superb location in the Old Town. Unless of course you're a shameless pervert, in which case sod the Old Town... There's a strip club upstairs!
