Great value for money
Pros:

Great location for us, as we had to visit Tartu hospital. Lovely creative quarters but across the road with the great cafes and shops.

Cons:

Single beds were quite narrow. Floor is painted concrete, needed some slippers. Expected better internet speed, only reached 11Mbps, I think I expected more from “super fast internet”

Hyvä hinta-laatusuhde
Pros:

-siisteys, sijainti, hyvät sängyt, koodilukitus toimi hyvin. aamiainen oli hyvä👍 -lemmikkiystävällinen ja ulkoilumaastot hyvät
-hyvät yhteyset mm juna-asema 200 m

Cons:

-opastus aamiaishuoneeseen puuttui.
-vesi kylpyhuoneessa suihkun jälkeen tulvi mutta kun käyttää lastaa niin pärjää hyvin.
-liikenteen melu sijainnin vuoksi, mutta kun piti ikkunat kiinni melua ei kuulunut lainkaan

Pros:

Hea asukoht, raudteejaama ja südalinna lähedal.
Lihtne sisustus, kõik vajalik olemas. Pehme voodipesu. Hommikusöögil oli valikut nii võileiva kui pudruarmastajale.

Cons:

Seinad kostavad hästi läbi.

Pros:

Väga puhas, vaikne, avar, super hind, kinnine parkla. 3 lapsega ülimugav 4ses toas ööbida- kõigil oma nurk, piisavalt ruumi. Seekord kasutasime hommikul ka ühiskööki (esimesel korral oli meil hotelli hommikusöök, mis ka oli super) ja käisime õhtul peale pikka päeva saunas. Kindel valik kui uuesti Tartusse tuleme! Juba paljud tuttavad on samuti valinud Hektori!

Ok, but expensive.
Pros:

We stayed at Hektor Design Hostel in Tartu with our two dogs and had a pleasant experience. The hotel has a great location right next to Aparaaditehas, with many nice cafés, restaurants, and interesting places nearby.
It was very convenient that parking was free, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was good with enough variety, although it was served in the basement area.

Cons:

Too small room and a single bed. A bit expencive. I payd 260€ for 3 nights, dog fee was unexpected 15€ per dog per night. I should have rented airbnb instead of 10m2 room with single bed. But laundry was a bonus. Gym wasnt nice. Sauna was ok.
