Succesfull renovation and very good bang for the buck!
Pros:

We were looking for one night stay in Tartu and newly renovated hotel catch my eye when i was checking different options at good location. Price was really good especially in place that is basically brand new after renovation and it was a really good choise! We loved the design all around the hotel. All personel were really professional and helpfull. Breakfast had nice variety of things and had good quality.

We were travelling off season so there wasnt that many guests but that was only nice for us cause spa area didnt have that many people. Area was well made and sauna was super nice. Lights around the pools had gotten bit wonky but thats understandable after renovation cause they are in so challenging enviroment and they are easy to fix.

Rooms were spacious and had really nice design! Bed was big and comfy even for bigger fella like me. Room, bathroom and whole hotel was clean and had nice crisp look to it! We didnt have any noice pollution so had a very good night sleep.

We would absolutely come there again cause we had such a good time!

Lovely place in the centre of Tartu
Pros:

Wonderful place, superb location, relaxing spa, nice breakfast. The only minus was the noise from the street during the night (it was a Saturday), but earplugs help well. The service was really nice and friendly and everything about the stay was enjoyable.

Best hotel in Tartu
Pros:

Hotel Soho, located in the heart of Tartu, is a place with the friendliest staff. The rooms are clean, beautiful, well-thought-out and unique. The new relaxation area is like nothing you've seen before. The historic building has a unique atmosphere that you can feel at every step. The rooms have works by Estonian artists on the walls, which further adds to the feeling that you are important to the hotel.

A very pleasant stay
Pros:

We were very happy with our stay in the very comfortable, quiet Hotel Soho. The location is excellent, steps away from Tartu's central square, many restaurants, cafes, and bars and short distances from most of Tartu's main attractions. Hotel Soho's staff was friendly, patient, helpful, and accommodating. Our room was clean and large. Breakfast was the best we'd had in the Nordic countries and elsewhere in Estonia. With make-your-own fresh batter waffles, sparking wine, and beer how can that be debated? We already recommended the hotel to friends who plan to visit Tartu

Outdated, noisy and not suitable for business trav
Pros:

The design feels stuck in the 70s – all red-on-red décor, older than me. The beds gave me back pain, the furniture is worn out, and the parking situation is a disaster (you need to pre-book before arrival). At night it’s very noisy, more like a party hotel. Definitely not ideal for business guests.

I liked location and air-conditioning
Pros:

The room looked a bit old-fashioned and there were not enough electric sockets. The air-conditioning was excellent, thank you. The breakfast had very good variety of items. The location of the hotel is excellent.

Pros:

Aamiainen/aamiaishuone tosi hyvä ja kiva. Huoneet perus siistit ja tilavat.

Cons:

No autolle emme saaneet paikkaa joten kadunvarressa yöpyi, muttei muuta sanottavaa.
