Reviews for Hotel Starest
Review 1：One of the rooms we booked was very cold because it was the edge room and had a bad, wet aroma.
Review 2：Rooms were comfortable and good. Staff personal was very kind and understanding.
Review 3：Pillows were terrible. Place was mostly occupied by construction workers and some rendevouz-couples. Huge difference in rooms of the same category - receptionist with short look decides what "sort" of room you deserve.
Review 4：Budget place covering basic needs. Hotel offers the best price in Tartu for a budget double room last minute.
Review 5：bit far away from city if you dont have a car. Even though the breakfast was inclued, it was not the pleasant one. You can find much nicer food for same price in the city.
Review 6：easy to find and really nice junior suite room. overall very good experience. our kid loved the room and the space.
Review 7：mold in bathroom bathroom floor not heated no Air Conditioning, had to crack a window shower had a curtain, that was moldy too pillows cheap and lumpy children screaming in the next door kindergarten from early morning hours
Review 8：24 hour check in free parking windows opened
Review 9：Only cold water from the sink, but warm and enough from the shower. A little bit of mold in the bath room, but clean. Forgot my hairdryer, not available from the hotel.
Review 10：Near Spordihall, markets nearby, quite surrounding, friendly staff, nice thick towels and good beds. Lots of space in the 3-bed room downstairs, wardrobe, tables and chair. Breakfast basic, different cheeses, breads, fruits, veg, etc. Good for a quick stay. Price isn't high, so standard accordingly.
Review 11：The bathroom definitely needs some renovation, though it's clean and everything works. I really missed an electric socket next to the desk and some light there.
Review 12：That's really good value for money. The location is not central, but if you need to stay overnight and continue your journey the next morning, it's a good choice.
Review 13：The walls too thin and you can hear the people talking or snoring in the other rooms. Quite far from the center, but easy to reach.
Review 14：Staff was very helpful, bathroom spacious and clean, one of the few hotels of this class where I haven't used my own towels.
Review 15：Very thin walls.. you can hear everything stuff do behind the wall aswell when outside doors closes. Also i didnt liked that in the middle of the night some old man came to drink beer talking loud with administrator and i had to ask for them to be quet.
Review 16：I liked the bed it was clean fresh and soft. Liked the overall look of the room.
Review 17：The room was quite hot [end of summer] and the blankets where far too thick for the season.
Review 18：Quite quiets surroundings. Right next to a bus stop (takes under 12 minutes to get to the center by bus). Clean, nice and tidy.
Review 19：I didn't like the fact that the electrical outlets were difficult to get to. I needed to charge my phone, but had to get on my hands and knees to get to the outlet under a table. (It was the only outlet I could find in the room.)
Review 20：I liked the price. It was reasonable.
Review 21：Location in a Soviet style suburb, breakfast equally reminded of the USSR era. Rooms smell bit stale and shower did not do the job . Could hear everything from neighboring rooms and the lobby (which, weirdly enough, was just behind the room door).
Review 22：Clean and nice rooms.
Review 23：Breakfast was poor. Didn`t like that stuff was drinking vine at our arrival time. It was too noisy in the evening and stuff didn`t take any care to calm down noisy guests.
Review 24：Far away from city center. Very small room for 2 adults and 1 children. No air cond.in room so there was hot. Smell in room was not good. Too expensive for this comfort. I will never stay in this hotel again. In pictures hotel looks much better than in life...
Review 25：Free wifi, free parking, good breakfast also for kids.
Review 26：The hotel looks quite fancy on the pictures, but is really more like an American highway hotel. The breakfast was really cheap and looked unappetizing. Nothing was labeled which is an issue for people with allergies.
Review 27：The people at the reception are really kind and welcoming. They are all very young and do a good job to make the best of this hotel.
Review 28：Very poor soundproofing. Had a noisy, quarreling couple staying next door, whose arguments, including obscenities, yelling and empty bottles falling, continued late into the night both nights we stayed there. I highly doubt the fact that the bed sheets had been changed. Did not have a crispy, uncrumpled feel about them that you usually get with clean sheets. Perhaps they were simply quite worn out, which also does not speak to the quality of the place. Not exactly inviting, quite heavily molded shower.
Review 29：Friendly staff
Review 30：There was a strong odour of chlorine containing disinfectant. There was some dog hair on bed covers, which probably means that travellers with animals are allowed, but this was very disturbing.
Review 31：The localisation is good, if you travel by car or reasonably good if you are a budget traveller (about 2,5 km walking to the city). The hotel is very quiet and there is a place to park a car). A price was really good.
Review 32：The configuration of the room was extremely weird. The atmosphere of the hotel/motel was uncomfortable. Wifi did not work and when we reported it to the front desk they was not surprised or concerned. We could hear the people showering above us. Stay elsewhere if you can
Review 33：The room was large and had a private sauna which was nice and interesting. Big modern TV. Location was 10 minutes by car from Old Town
Review 34：The room was not prepared as per booking, when I asked for it, actually I had to take the bed linen myself and do it. On a top of this they gave twice a wrong bed linen. Bad breakfast,
Review 35：Looks and feels a little bit "russian"? In the room there was shower but it wasn't very clean.
Review 36：Location of the Hotel is easy to find and breakfast was quite ok! Big shoppingcentre is near.
Review 37：The room was a little bit old - could tell by the beds and walls. But for one night stay and the price was acceptable.
Review 38：Location - just next to the bus stop from where you can get to Tartu Old Town. Breakfast - very delicious. Free parking by the hotel.
Review 39：No problems at the stay other than the location but the bus only takes 10 minutes to get to the City Centre. So that's not even a problem for me!
Review 40：The staff at the hotel were very nice and nothing was too much of a problem! Hats off to Elina for making the stay so enjoyable! Aitäh!
Review 41：The room was hot like sauna, and smelt. The bathroom was large, but in poor shape. It had several floor tiles missing, bugs and black mold spots on the walls and ceiling. The bed was way too soft for my taste and rather small for two persons. The free Wi-Fi was slow and kept disconnecting at random.
Review 42：Cheap rates, free parking, free Wi-Fi, pretty close to downtown
Review 43：the only negative is that the hotel is quite far from the city centre, but the bus service is good and taxis are pretty cheap
Review 44：staff were very helpful and friendly, especially as there had a been a slight error so we received a free upgrade to a larger, more comfortable room
Review 45：The hotel is located in two buildings. We had breakfast in the building next to our place. The quality of breakfast is poor. The first day of our stay was more or less edible, the second day we were offered the warmed food from yeaterdeay.
Review 46：Not far from all city attractions by car. Comfort large room for a family with two kids.
Review 47：Far from city centre, need a car. Poor breakfast and very awful surrondings. Staff a bit rude
Review 48：Room was brilliant. Very good size bed, nice tv and awesome shower.
Review 49：If you haven't got a car - it will be for you far from center of Tartu - about 50 minutes by feet. Level of wifi signal changes every minute - it can be one minute great and next minute disconnected.
Review 50：Comfy bed, nice room.
Review 51：Morning was very loud. The neighbours and cleaning lady didn't car about sleeping guests.
Review 52：Great value for room. Room was clean, warm and cozy and not far from the centre, near the bus stop.
Review 53：The reception is usually closed (we informed that we will arrive around 10p.m.). They have no key box with code outside the door, we were forced to look for key in the corner and receptionist was not speaking english so we had no explanation. To get an invoice I was forced to write and remind 4 times... Everything else was OK.
Review 54：Everything perfect except:
Review 55：Far from Tartu centre if you don't have a car, we had to rely on taxis. No places to eat close to the hotel. Walls are thin so you can hear other guests. Hotel staff have limited English understanding.
Review 56：Free WiFi Heated bathroom floor Low cost per night
Review 57：it was imposibile to change booking, room was small with one bed 140 cm wide, too small for two + child, didn't have children bed, room was also dirty, smoking people inside the rooms, noise all night, breakfest was poor. Stuff was surly. The worst hotel in baltic states we had ever seen.
Review 58：nothing
Review 59：you can hear your neighbours well. They informed about dog price after invoicing and asked it additionally.
Review 60：Breakfast was OK, bed comftable, room was warm
Review 61：The neighborhood, far away from everything Room cleaning - not even the bed was made Had to call the reception in order to turn on the sauna or bubble bath Thin walls
Review 62：It's cheap Room with sauna available Confortable bed Room looked nice WIFI quality was OK Breakfast was OK
Review 63：Walls are really thin so you can hear everything that is going on in the corridor or the room next to you. We were lucky to have quiet neighbors.
Review 64：Friendly staff, clean room.
Review 65：There was tobacco smoke coming to our room through the ventilation and we had to keep the window open to get fresh air. Also, we could hear some noise from the neighboring room even at 3.20 a.m.
Review 66：My elderly parents stayed in a twin room on the other side of the hotel and they had a quiet room with no problems.
Review 67：Small bed for 2 person, only 140 cm wild. There was a smel from the bathrum in the room. Thiny walls. I couldn ´t sleep because of noice from the neighboring rooms.
Review 68：Nothing
Review 69：Walls very thin / poor soundproofing
Review 70：Excellent value for money Friendly reception staff Good value breakfast Free wifi Spotlessly clean bathroom
Review 71：little far from city centre too small room sounds from the corridor could be heard very hard in the room not everywhere clean f.e. the bathroom
Review 72：staff did their best to give a warm welcome
Review 73：The hotel is quite far from downtown (15min drive). The decoration inthe room was quite "spartiate". The hotel is mainly forbusiness men or very young travellers with low budgets.
Review 74：The receptionnists were nice and helpful. The low price. The experienceto sleep in a sovietic style building/area.
Review 75：- We went to have breakfast at around 8, so not too early, not too late, but some food already ran out, no glasses - and has not been replenished while we were there. Noone seemed to care too much about the guests. So the breakfast experience was not what we expected. - Pretty far from downtown.
Review 76：Our room was, Room #27 was very interesting. It included a sauna. It must be fun in the winter. The bed was large and comfortable.
Review 77：Minor holes in the curtains and some stains that would need attention. The entrance to the b-part of the building was not locket at night, a bit unsafe. Breakfast is not worth the money, very bad coffee and poor selection of food. Some nice porrage instead of "manna soup" would still be at the same cost... So spend your money at a nice cafe in the center and use Starest for a good night sleep.
Review 78：Hotel in a good location when traveling by car. Only few minutes from the center, shops near by, in a suburb area. Price for the room is fair, you get a clean room and quiet sleep. No air conditioning, but the fan was great help when dealing with hot sun heating up the room at 7 in the morning.
Review 79：The smell of the room, it smelled stale, small room did not look like like the one in the foto, wifi signal in the room was very week and it had no lift, it was just one floor but the suitcase was heavy
Review 80：Friendliness from the people in reception
Review 81：The hotel room didn't resemble the brochure picture - it was way smaller It was extremely hot in the room and the windows could not be opened The breakfast was no value for money
Review 82：Shops nearby Plenty of parking space The staff speaks excellent English
Review 83：There was a fan in the room but it gave almost nothing and it was so hot in the room that you needed to keep the window open all night and even then it was hard to sleep without any blanket.
Review 84：All was very good except the hotness in the room. The food (breakfast and dinner) was tasty and in my optinion - cheap.
Review 85：Someone had smoked in the bathroom, walls were dirty, WIFI was so slow that it was actually impossible to use it. I visited in the summertime and it was quite hot in the room and you couldn't open the window properly. Hotel is quite far from city centre.
Review 86：Lots of cons, but considering the price (35€/night for double room), it was really okay. Breakfast quality was quite good. If you are looking for a low-price accomodation, then I would reccomend it.
Review 87：Mildew in the bathroom; no cleaning during our stay; no parking-lot surveillance although it did not really look like a safe area; breakfast was was served in the hotels own chinese retaurant but not very appealing; room on the ground floor (no curtains in the bathroom, although no see-through windows), no working air-condition; only 3 working tv-channels; the staff was friendly but not speaking very good English; the surrounding of the hotels location was not looking very safe or inviting. Overall, it is unfortunately not recommendable.
Review 88：Room was HOT even if the weather wasn't. Curtains were left open on a sunny day and as we arrived you could have baked some eggs on the windowsill. And you couldn't ventilate the room because of fixed windows (D&K-windows without a handle) even if it would have been a good way to ease the problem.
Review 89：Satrest is located pretty far from the city centre and there is practicly nothing to see in the neighborhood - just quite ugly USSR style blocks of flats. But this location surely is quiet and peaceful if you look for that! Price-quality qoute is pretty ok. You probably cannot expect much more from a cheap hotel like this.
Review 90：In our room had not fridge.
Review 91：The room was better than expected. Liked that there were beds for boath kids. In room were electric kettle, as we traveled with a baby, it was important that can boil water. Very cozy room.
