Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Firstly, the lobby area is beautiful and the staff is friendly. You will feel very welcome. Secondly, the breakfast is great with a large variety and nice coffee. Greetings to the happy lady who was serving in the breakfast area! Thirdly, the location is great - everything is nearby. About downsides - the walls are trembling when someone's door closes and you can hear waterwork. Unfortunately, someone in the room's bathroom has been smoking and you can tell that, especially when showering. The bathroom needs refreshing. The rooms have large windows - a lot of light but the day curtains are missing. I wish there would have been body lotion - the water seemed to dry the skin.

Vary basic hotel in good location. No minibar in the room and breakfast cannot offer fresh eggs. The hiding manager of the restaurant justified the poor service with the parallel catering work that needed personal. That makes a client really feel as the least priority... Coffee is also critically undrinkable.

Good hotel but it could be better, especially cleaner and quieter. Breakfast is great (avoid rush hour). The location is ideal if you want to be close to the bus terminal, otherwise it is not the prettiest.

The hotel was in a good location near the old town and next to a shopping mall. Hotel itself is quite average, but very clean and the rooms were quite nice. Beds were comfy and it was quiet during the night. No mini fridge or coffee machine in the room though. Breakfast was crowded but plentiful and the porridges were heavenly. Good stay! 👍

Well located 197 room hotel close to shopping centre and river also next door to bus station although 20 minutes walk from the trains. Comfortable rooms with windows that open, but A/C if needed. We spent two night here and the room rate included breakfast. A sign at the entrance to the breakfast room suggested coming early (7am- 8am) when the numbers would be low, in other words calm, however arriving at 7.15 it was already impossibly crowded and with tables being placed together canteen style, there was little space for a relaxed meal as everyone was packed in together. It would be difficult to imagine then what it was going to be like doing the ‘busy’ period. This may be caused by coach parties or people reading the sign and coming early seeking a peaceful start to the day!

We had two dubble rooms with different views. One to the bus station and the other to the river. Rooms were big and comfortable. Unfortunately not so very clean, old chips on the floor and stains in bathroom. No fridge but AC functions well. Breakfast was good but crowdy. We liked the little gym that´s open 24/7.

The hotel is in a Good location in Tartu centre, very Close to shopping and the river. I stayed in the hotel for two Nights with a group. The room is fairly big, but it is very sparsely furnished. The bed was comfortable and offers a Good Nights sleep. The bath room is fairly big, but in need of a lot of renovation. Should be replaced immediately. The hotel breakfast is Good, but the layout of buffet is very difficult to figure out. The hotel food at dinner was ok, but nothing spectacular. The service in the restaurant was ok.

A modern hotel, well located near the city, but somewhat faceless. A good stop on the road. Located near the river which supplies a walking route into the town, a lot of construction is taking place making it a bit noisy.

I had been there before when placed in it for business purposes and thought it would be good convenient to stay there again when away for non-business. It is well located, not all that expensive and the rooms are quite serviceable. It was at a busy time and the lifts were very busy so tiresome getting up and down from rooms. The bar is not often occupied by staff. There is a sign saying to ask the reception but when there is non-stop checkin going on that is not convenient. A queue had built up and we just left. Why not get a remote controlled bell? And I think this is a bit of the thing in general, sort of a lackadaisical attitude to running the place. At breakfast there were plenty of staff hovering round but still the scrambled egg was empty. Probably easier to ignore the issues.
