Rooms are spacious and clean. Facilities are also super clean. Location is great, right across the road from the old town and the harbour is one street behind with some cool old buildings. Wifi works great. Staff were lovely, especially the ones doing the fries on the Friday nights. Morning waffles and sauna are great too. Building is old but well soundproofed, street noise isn’t too bad either.

Only minor things, not problems but things that could be improved, in the private room I had the light switch was down the far end of the room and there is no lamp near the bed. Also, you have to leave your room key at the front desk every time you leave the building, and there isn’t always someone there when you come back as there was only one person working the desk each day.

the free sauna and pool in the morning. the free waffles

wifi was broken but I get that it can take time for telcos to come fix that stuff. no hostel group chat or activities

* Ideal location close to old town and relatively close to harbour * clean bedrooms and very spacious * shared bathrooms and toilets were clean too and well maintained (renewal of toilet paper etc.) throughout our stay * luggage storage space before check-in and after check-out is possible due to 24-hour manned reception * 1 liter bowl of dough (approx. for around 16 waffles/8 ppl) is being made every morning by the receptionist for guests so that you can make yourself a waffle for breakfast, however you have to get up early to enjoy!

* shared toilets (we found 3 only) and bathrooms (we found 1 only) are limited on the 2nd floor for more than 10 rooms on that floor * if you stay on the upper floors, you have to climb down lots of stairs to get to the showers in the cellar. However, once there, there are plenty of showers (around 10) and toilets! * when going to the shared showers in the cellar, you have to pass the kitchen: in the morning, people are passing in pyjamas or with only a wrapped towel through the kitchen, where others have breakfast, so that might appear a bit funny or weird to some

The location is convenient, just next to the Linnahall and opposite to the old town. There is tram and bus stop next to the hostel. Also, it is just 10-min walk away from the cruise terminal. The single room is comfortable, though the bed and pillow are too soft for me. The space in room is sufficient for one person. There are hangers and a small desk as well. The laundry is good as well. It is not expensive (4 euro), and the machines are quite clean and new. Overall, the whole hostel/hotel is clean, organized and convenient!

The fridge sometimes seemed to be filled up with food left by the previous guests. It might be hard to find a space to put our food.

Location, quite, big place for socialising, making waffles, kitchen. The receptionist put me together in a room with my friend. It would be nice if there was a map provided and some tips given regarding sightseeing. Didn't use the sauna it could be open during the day, not just for a few hours. It is not a party hostel but I liked it. Massive lockers and secure. Close to the ferries, old town. Safe.

Some toilets are separate from toilets with a sink. Had to go downstairs for bathrooms when it was busy. Could clean bathrooms more often. Fairy was finished. I needed it to wash dishes. I could hear people next wall, but it was grand

Free luggage storage. Free towel. Spacious room. Large size locker in the room. Kitchen. Accessible by public transportation. An accessible small balcony. A sauna available only 9-11 AM.

Kitchen dining area/living room combined, which can be crowded. The ping pong table and the players occupy plenty of space, create lots of noise, a nuisance. There were many kids/teenagers during my stay, which makes me think this is a group/family destination. Garbage and recycle bins fill up quickly, and they are services only in AM.

I liked everything! Location is great. The place is clean, I loved the interior design and facilities. The staff are chill, friendly and helpful. I like that reception is open 24/7, very good if you plan on staying out late or arriving in the middle of the night. And the best part - free morning waffles! You won my heart with this one 😍❤️ Bonus points for everything that's included - the locker, towels and bedsheets. Night was peaceful. I appreciate that they have a balcony for smokers (even if you don't smoke, check it out, it has a nice view of the Old Town). Lovely place, please stay in business. This is the best ho(s)tel for the price. I will definitely book this place again in the future.

Very comfortable hostel in a wonderful, quiet location, close to the old town and right by the sea. The staff was helpful and professional. We could store our bags before check-in and after check-out. All of the shared facilities were clean and well maintained. Room itself was spacious, beds comfortable and we didn't hear any noises from the outside, which allowed us for a good night sleep. The windows had good darkening blinds. I can recommend this place without any hesitation, and I would certainly stay there again.

Wifi was not great, had some connectivity issues. This did not affect us, but keep in mind that there are no elevators and the kitchen and many shared facilities are underground.

This is the cleanest hostel I have ever stayed at - I was super impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms. I also really appreciated that the bunks and affiliated lockers were numbered and assigned - helped keep everything in order. The beds were comfortable and sturdy, so there was no squeaking in the middle of the night. The kitchen was also very well equipped to cook a proper meal, which was great. The seating area was also cozy and comfortable.

No toilets or showers on the first floor, so guests had to go down a flight to the basement. But this was a minor thing really.

Everything was great and I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Fat Margaret's. Here's why: - They allowed me to leave my bags a day before check-in - I was upgraded from a single room to a twin room = more space - The room was clean - The sauna and pool were epic - Wifi was fast and worked well - The staff were friendly and helpful. They even let me borrow the vacuum cleaner for my vacuum compression bag! I couldn't have had a better stay here!

The only teeny tiny thing was they ran out of waffle batter when I was there so there weren't any waffles for breakfast. But everything else made up for it!
