All very good, but not perfect :)
Pros:

Central location, good breakfast, restaurant onsite. Clean.

Cons:

Bathroom is big, room itself seems somewhat small.
Shower door was leaking.
In SPA several buttons in the pool did not work.
Pool itself is quite small - no possibility to swim if there are 3 or more persons in the pool.

Un superbe hôtel pour un séjour à Tartu
Pros:

L'hôtel est très bien situé au centre de la ville. Le personnel est très sympathique et serviable. Le dîner et le petit-déjeuner sont très bien.

Cons:

Le spa a des horaires vraiment étrange pourquoi ne pas l'ouvrir toute la journée alors qu'il n'y a pas de personnel. Les saunas sont le point vraiment négatif de cet hôtel situé à l'endroit où il y a le plus de fabricant de sauna au monde. L'un dispose d'un poêle vraiment trop puissant et une mauvaise ventilation et l'autre à 60 degrés n'a aucun intérêt et l'odeur à l'intérieur n'est pas agréable.

Not worth the money to be aggravated.
Pros:

Location, and breakfast was good

Cons:

Hotel is run by a bunch of inexperienced kids. There is rarely more than one person at the desk, so you have to wait in line. After every room cleaning, there were towels missing, facial tissue, or shower gel. I typically had to call the front desk several times to get replacements. At checkout, the lady in front of us was complaining about the lousy service. The owner obviously doesn’t care, and has decided to cheap out.
