    Bathrooms could be cleaner. Sort time for gym and sauna, open time could be longer in the evening and starting one hour earlier in the morning.

    Breakfast was very good. Hostel room were good and clean.

    Bed was really uncomfortable (probably due to its narrowness). I opted to take the mattress and sleep on the ground which proved to be much more comfortable.

    It is very centrally located. Check-in is manned 24/7. Clean room, shared bathrooms and showers were clean and spacious enough. Breakfast selection and quality was ok.

    Toilet and showers are shared, but that's how it is in a hostel. The price was very much worth it, though.

    Hostel is in a hotel, and we got hotel benefits like a free morning sauna (well, we needed to pay 3 € per person for flip-flops).

    Everything met or exceeded the expectations, thank you!

    It’s a strategically perfect place for a few nights stay just in front of Tartu bus station. Free sauna on the morning hours as well with a magnificent view of Tartu sunrise. Bring your own flip flops though but also you can buy them on the spot. Breakfast was also superb and I’m looking forward to stay here again. Thank you!

    Honestly, I've nothing bad to say about my stay.

    I stayed in a hostel room. It was excellent and the shower and bathrooms were clean and not at all busy. It is excellent value as breakfast and full use of the hotel facilities were included in the price. I used the gym which had everything I needed. Staff were super helpful and friendly too. It is right across from the Bus station, a short walk to town and loads of local amenities, and has luggage storage.

    It's s hostel, but anyways: room lighting is aggressive as there aren't any small shaded lights.

    Very good breakfast of a large choice. You will find both sucré and salé, there are cakes (: Free morning sauna is a big plus!

    The carpet in our room wasn't perfectly clean. Everything else was just fine.

    International bus station in front, AHHAA centre on the other side, several shopping centres around, Old Town within 5 mins walk. The hostel is an inclusion into a large hotel building, so it enjoys all the same facilities, just with shared bathrooms. Breakfast is really good, for the price even amazing. Staff is very friendly, room is clean and fine.

    I really didn't like that there was only one toilet for the hostel area. I experienced (several times) waiting for it to be available or wander in my PJs through the halls to another. One thing I missed about a normal hostel stay was having access to a fridge/kitchen. Made it impossible to bring back leftovers. The other thing that was just a minor inconvenience was the AC. I liked how it didn't work when the window was open (energy efficient) but everywhere else in the world I've stayed, it goes down to 18°C. This was 21°C max. It may not seem that bad but I run hot so I like to sleep with it on as low as it can go.

    I love the location. Being right across the bus station was super convenient for arriving and leaving. It's also close to a lot of sights and the town center. Breakfast was also amazing. Those two perks make the rate of the room worth it.

    The room had a small table which was on level with the chairs and thus basically unusable. There was no storage room for unpacking suitcases but for some reason it had a spare bed in the corner. Excellent for smugglers who use their suitcases for trafficing people. Not so good for tourists and totally awful for anyone who wants to do some officework in their room.

    Location at the center of Tartu next to the bus station is excellent for tourists. Staff was friendly and breakfast buffet varied and tasty. Nice and clean place.

    Soundproofing isn't ideal, it can be noisy especially if you have a room next to the hostel access door. Ear plugs are provided. I slept fine nonetheless.

    The location: right in front of the bus station. Pretty convenient when you are coming and/or must leave by bus. Only a short 10 minutes stroll from the town hall square. The room was just fine (it's a hostel after all). Not fancy but comfortable. The hostel is in a wing of a larger hotel and as such, hostel guests have access to the same breakfast as the hotel guests and also to the very nice spa (in the morning only). The common areas of the hostels (toilets and showers) were always clean.
