Good location, good basic hotel

Good location, spacious room. Comfortable and clean hotel. Free parking and decent breakfast. It was not mentioned at the hotel page that only the morning sauna is free of charge and during weekends you have to pay 11 euros /person. This should have been mentioned. Otherwise the spa area was nice though.

Good option to be close to downtown

Nice hotel with good service. The parking is difficult because they don't explain the parking layout very well. There is additional parking at the back of the building, which was always available for us. Good breakfast buffet. Very close to the main square and the walk along the river. Enjoyed and would happily stay again.

Nice hotel, uninterested staff with poor service

The hotel is nice but the staff was not interested in us as guests. No one greeted us when we arrived, said welcome, asked how our stay was or even looked at us. Totally anonymous. I felt rather unwelcome and I got a feeling that we were more of a trouble to them, rather than a customer. The hotel was good itself, but we will not come back given our experince the staff. Soviet era attitude!

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
TThe property is situated in a great location with numerous shopping centers and restaurants within walking distance. The Tartu bus station is conveniently located across the street, providing easy access to Tallinn and other destinations. The breakfast at the cafe downstairs offered a variety of freshly prepared options and excellent service. The front desk staff were exceptionally helpful and professional. It would have been more convenient if the hotel had a buggy to transport our 7 luggages to the room. Although the room was clean, it appeared that the bedsheets had not been changed from the previous guests. Unlike most hotels, the room did not have coffee or hot water machines. Additionally, there was no laundry service available, which could be inconvenient for guests on an extended stay.
