    It is always nice when Hotel can offer safe place for motorcycles. Also I really liked the nice staff and Tartto as a city was beautiful.

    The space for breakfast.

    Breakfast, unfortunately , was not so good. May be, if the breakfast room was more cosy, we would be more satisfied with it. The coffee was nice.

    I stayed in the hotel for a year ago, and then rated it the following way (quote): "Liked · A modest, a bit worn down hotel. But very well situated and price worthy. If you only need a clean, cheap room downtown to only sleep in, a very good choice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel also has an interesting history, the building was head quarter for the Soviet occupant troups in the area 1944-1992, after which it was refurnished as a hotel." Now a year later I have nothing to add! A good cheap choice, very well situated. In my review in March 2023 i claimed, that "the breakfast was ok but not really worth the price (10€)". This year I would say that also the breakfast was perfectly ok. Perhaps they read my review?

    The walls are really thin, I could hear the guest next door snoring all night 😣 Also, early in the morning, on a Saturday, there were some kids running up and down the hallway, making a lot of noise. I feel like the staff should have done something because the noise was really bothering.

    Perfect location. Very clean room. Warm in the winter.

    The breakfast was definitely not worth 10 euros per person. It wasn't fresh and had a limited selection. The coffee wasn't even hot. Felt like a scam. Moreover, the shared spaces were chilly.

    Typical, functional furniture and fittings; sanitary ware from the 80s. The room was warm, and you could regulate the radiator yourself. Comfortable beds and pillows. Great location.

    Dirty carpet in the room. Unpleasant. Only 3 clothes hangers, not enough for two people. The shower was broken. It was fixed in an hour, but the main idea: it was broken for a long time for sure. Why it was not changed BEFORE guests arrived? Breakfast from 8 to 11 (that is good), but the food at 10 is barely warm.

    Comfy bed. Very good location, close to everything, and most of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Hair drier: small, but really powerful.

    The noise factor, very loud neigbours.. and night-club bass-rhythm was a surprise to hear therefore getting to sleep was a challenge. Unfortunately the carpet had more stains than clean areas on it.. a lot of stains!

    The breakfirst was fulfilling, thank you. Also, as soon as all the night-party-guests in their rooms were sleeping, the hotel became lovely and quiet place to stay.. Reception ladies were all friendly and helpful, and the same compliment belongs to the lady from the breakfirst area. I could open the bedroom windows for fresh air which is another bonus :) The view was beautiful.

    I would like to have a fridge in a room and maybe a water kettle. Because we didn´t have any time to eat breakfast (that started at 8 am), it would be nice to have some food in a room.

    The location was perfect for traveling with dogs. It was easy to go outside (elevator and quite small hotel) and park near hotel was really nice. Room was clean and quite good size.

    The bathroom could have been cleaner. When I arrived the lobby was dark and not very inviting despite the reception staff being polite and friendly, and the room itself didn't feel inviting. Overall not a bad stay but not sure I would stay here again.

    The hotel was in a good location near the university and other amenities, only around 10 minutes walk from the bus station. The staff at reception were also friendly and the bed was fairly comfortable.

    There were youth in the park and they were noisy. Their loud laugh ja music, singing was heard to our room. But after midnight was quiet. Room`s carpet would be more cleaner! Parking in yard was very hard as the backyard is so small. There was a possibility to let the car be also at street, but at next morning the parking must be paid. As we left at 12, so we parked our car in backyard.

    Location was very good, centre of the town. Room also. We did not eat breakfast in hotel. The staff was very nice and kind, helpful. So the small dog!
