"Good spa hotel, and decent facilities and upkeep of property. Spa has jacuzzis, steam, sauna and routine stuff but restricted open timings, with other slots being chargeable. Continental breakfast was also decent. This hotel is right opposite the main Tartu bus station so very accessible. Also, 2 big malls and other restaurants are also stone throws. River promenade walk is just a 5 min walk. Given the city itself is small, the hotel location works really well"
