Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a perfect location opposite the old church hill, ideal for exploring the city. The rooms are beautiful and modern with a lovely view of the park, but a bit on the tiny side. The staff is friendly and accommodating, even working to improve wifi connections. Dining is satisfactory, though parking can be a challenge with limited spaces. Overall, a convenient choice in the Centre, but noise from the night club can disturb sleep.
The hotel offers a good view of the park, and the Neljapäev fish restaurant provides room service. The rooms were spacious and could have been excellent value for money, but were heated by a small electric heater with inaccessible controls. The service was decent, though not particularly friendly upon arrival. The location is convenient, especially for a short walk to the old town but adjacent to a noisy fast-food establishment. The dining experience was mixed, with a variety of satisfying options but some shortcomings like running out of coffee. Overall, a decent option at a fair price.
Despite a few initial challenges with the room, our stay overall was pleasant. The service was top-notch, but the dining options left much to be desired. The central location was convenient, although some noise disturbances were a setback. The facilities were adequate, but improvements could enhance the overall guest experience.
The hotel is in a convenient location in the Centre, close to the central square in Tartu. The room was small with not so good disposition and in need of refreshment, but it had blackout curtains, which was a blessing in Estonia in June. The service was described as very friendly and helpful, although there are different owners for the hotel and the hotel restaurant. The dining experience had very basic options but included both hot and cold items. The facilities require some updating.
I found the hotel in a fantastic location, at the center of the city and within a short walk to the old town. The rooms were clean and big enough to feel comfortable, but the selection of dishes for breakfast was limited. The staff was friendly and committed to supporting us, although there were some issues with language. A great value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
I was in a room under the roof with a roof window, which was more luxurious. The staff were kind and very helpful with suggestions for exploring the city. The location was excellent, with easy access to everything on our agenda. However, the dining options were limited to simple choices, affecting the overall experience.
The hotel was conveniently located right on the edge of old town Tartu with easy access to the city center. The rooms were initially a bit cold but became comfortable after adjusting the heater. The dining options were limited to basic items, but the service was warm and welcoming.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was excellent, close to the Old Town and many attractions, though the ongoing street construction work outside caused inconveniences. The rooms were small but had a lovely bathroom, yet the lack of AC made them feel a bit old and sticky. The service was a bit of a mixed bag, with quick and polite service at times but foreign language barriers at night, hindering direct communication. The dining experience offered a satisfying European buffet but lacked variety on consecutive mornings. The facilities were decent overall.
The hotel room was small but had a very lovely bathroom. However, it was almost double the booking price, and the room was very hot and very noisy all night. It did not have a fridge or any tea/coffee making facilities.
The hotel's Neljapäev fish restaurant provided room service, but there was a slight smell of smoke inside. The room we dined in was too small for the crowd, leading to us eating at the lounge tables. It would be better if they turned on the electric radiator.
