    I was automatically checked-in and I didn’t receive a room number and door code. Eventually I received the codes after contacting the customer support. Moreover, the code didn’t work for accessing the lobby and breakfast in morning, although I paid for the breakfast. Again, I got in eventually.

    Facilities were clean and nice. The room had everything what needed. Great that there is a free parking at the site. Breakfast was nice, too.

    It was a bit hard to move around with a stroller (narrow hallways, heavy doors).

    The room was very suitable to stay with a little kid (clean, well equipped)

    The hostel is at the big street where some super cars and motocicles want to speed, so it can get loud, but as we were very active during day and super tired in the evenig it didnt disturbe us much.

    Good location, nice interior, self check-in instructions precise, good parking space at hostel. To be honest, if see word “hostel” people think of sleeping in shared space with strangers, but this was more like hotel, we had our own room with small cooking space. All went super smooth, didnt saw any stuff member, but also didnt need any extra information or support, as all was passed on clearly.

    This time I had room on the first floor with windows towards the busy part of Kastani Street. It was noisy and hard to fall asleep.

    Plain and nice rooms, clean. Very convenient with the digital lock, coffee and water in self serve area. I discovered later that there was some kind of breakfast room in ground floor but It stated no breakfast in the info leaflet. Anyway I enjoyed nice breakfast with oat meal at a cafe in Aparaaditehas just across the street.

    AC unit on such a warm day would have been appreciated. We kept a window open throughout the night and had to cope with a lot of traffic noise. To get hot water, we had to run the tap and shower for several minutes.

    Nice and clean hostel. Easy online check-in and check-out. Close to the train station and restaurants at Aparaaditehas. They provided a baby crib for us before check-in- awesome! Simple but delicious breakfast!

    Cleanliness: we've stayed in this place seven years ago - it looks like the bathroom was not cleaned since. It was smelly and dark Location: it is next to railway, so Maybe good for somebody. You will have to go by foot like 30 minutes to get to the city center Breakfast: porridge in an instant pot and some cold snacks. Everything what a growing body needs

    Full automation. You book and you get a code which is valid for parking gate, front door and your room. There is not a single soul except a guy which provides breakfast Parking: private yard parking with a code. Great!

    The curtains fell with the curtain rod during the first night, and this was not fixed during the day. We had to sleep without curtains the next night and the floor was full of plaster from the wall.

    Nice and clean place with a great breakfast. Good beds. Easy checkin and entrance.

    The bed was narrow.

    Everything worked like a charm. I recieved useful messages from the staff before and during my stay. Staff I met in breakfast was really friendly. Room had good kitchen facilities. Sauna and gym option was great even though this time I didn't use them. Parking lot was great and I could sleep well knowing that my motorcycle is in safe. Many has companies about noise in reviews. My room was in the inner yard side so I found room quiet i didn't hear anything from other rooms either.

    Breakfast is with very limited options, so it's better to eat elsewhere. Additionally, there is absolutely no fresh air in the corridors.

    Overall, a good choice if you're looking for a budget option without any extras beyond a room, bed, and shower. It was an excellent choice for me during sports competitions, as the triple room I stayed in was spacious

    No air conditioning, but there was an electric fan in my room and it helped.

    In general I was positively surprised and it's very good value for money. I had a feeling that being pet friendly is a very important policy for this hostel. There is even a door hanger specifically for the situation when you leave the room and your pet stays inside. The breakfast buffet was tasty and there were several dietary options. Location of the hostel is perfect, within walking distance from many attractions of Tartu.
