Cons:

Leider hatten wir ein Zimmer mit Fenster direkt an der Ampel einer stark befahrenen Kreuzung. Die Auto- und Motorradposer in der Nacht waren sehr laut.

Great private rooms
Pros:

The closeness to the train station. The setting and style and the facilities such as the kitchen and common areas

Cons:

The fridge in the room was to noisy, possibly missing gas, so the pump kept being loud all over the night

Pros:

Hotel znajduje się w bardzo wygodnej odległości od centrum Tartu. Obszerny zamykany parking, pełna automatyzacja obsługi. Personel choć niewidoczny bardzo uczynny, szybko reaguje na prośby. Bardzo fajne podstawowe śniadania na.in. z pyszną pastą pomidorową i smaczną owsianką, a bezpłatna kawa z ekspresu i herbata w lobby to świetny pomysł.

Cons:

Pewną niedogodnością może być otwarta kabina prysznicowa i rozlewająca się z niej woda, ale da się to ogarnąć.

Good for a night sleep but no hostel vibes
Pros:

Good breakfast included in the price. The hostel was quiet which was nice.

Cons:

Partly due to me not reading properly but i never stayed in a hostel where everything happens via messages. You get a code to use for opening the main door, the parking and your room(it is 1 personal code for everything). In a hostel i expect to be greeted by a receptionist who tells you what to do and see in Tartu. I missed that here.
Moreover, when you enter from the main entrance, there is a big room on the right. I thought that that was the common room. It was locked. The next morning when having breakfast, i found out that the common room is somewhere else.

perfetto
Pros:

ostello fantastico, consiglio caldamente a chiunque passi da Tartu: pulizia impeccabile, stanze silenziose e comode con frigo, bollitore e kit piatti/tazze/posate, bagno piccolo ma efficiente! sala comune con macchina per caffè, cucina a disposizione degli ospiti con due frigoriferi, piastre ad induzione ed ampio spazio.. ma il MUST è la lavanderia gratuita!!! Colazione buona e perfetta per iniziare la giornata (c'eravamo solo noi per cui ci han fatto trovare kit con succo frutta, cereali e yogurt, latte, frutta fresca, sandwich, insalatina pomodori e cetrioli, croissant e uovo sodo, più caffè o cappuccino dalla macchinetta).. accogliente e divertente l'arredamento! Altra cosa da non sottovalutare il parcheggio con accesso solo tramite tastierino.

Det var en trevlig vistelse och allting är nära. Mycket gott mat och trevliga människor.
Pros:

Det var djurvänlig hostel då det fanns även en fin katt som besökte där.

Cons:

Luftkvalitet kunde vara bättre och madrassen i sängen. Tyvärr blev det mindre sömn på grund av hårt kudde.

zeer teleurgesteld.
Pros:

lekker warm

Cons:

ik heb in vier continenten boutique ho(s)tels gebruikt. ze zijn meestal kleinschalig en gezellig. dit hotel daarentegen is erg groot. het was niet duidelijk op jullie website dat het een auto in check hostel betreft want geen receptie.
ook hebben boutique hoStels vaak de snellere wifi’s. deze wifi was erg slecht. output met hoge latentie tijden en hoge jitter. voetbal kijken (wk 2026) via wifi was onmogelijk.

Pros:

Kiire sisse/väljaregistreerimine

Cons:

Kasvõi väike televiisor oleks võinud toas olla, lambipirn oli katki, akende ees võiks olla putukavõrk.
