For the majority of travelers, Tartu Airport (TAY) is the most convenient choice. As the only airport located directly in the city of Tartu, it offers the fastest and cheapest transit options, though flight availability is limited. For international travelers, Tallinn Airport (TLL) serves as the primary gateway to Estonia. While it is located in a neighboring city, it provides a much higher frequency of international flights and reliable, comfortable transit connections via train or luxury coach. Pskov Airport (PKV), situated in a neighboring city across the border in Russia, is generally not recommended for travel to Tartu due to the complexities of border crossings and the high duration of transit, making it a niche option only for those with specific regional travel needs. We recommend choosing TLL for better flight connectivity, or TAY if you can secure a direct flight to minimize your travel time into the city center.

The location of the hotel opposite the bus station is very good and practical for individual travelers. The train station and the center can also be reached quickly from the hotel. There are also many shopping centers and shops nearby.
The breakfast is very good and plentiful. The other hotel facilities, such as the fitness room and sauna and wellness area, are very modern, clean and very well equipped. However, there are no towels provided, so you have to bring towels from your hotel room. It is a mixed sauna and wellness area and wearing swimwear and flip-flops is therefore mandatory.
The furnishings in the rooms are very old, dating from 1960 or 1970, and have a certain nostalgic Soviet charm. Despite this, the rooms are very clean.FromUS$72

My experience was pleasant throughout my stay. The location of the hotel is great, right on Town Hall Square. The room was relatively clean with new amenities, although there wasn't a king size bed and we had to put two beds together. Breakfast is worth mentioning, with pancake, which I really liked, and very good yoghurt. It would have been a near perfect experience, but something incredible happened when I checked out. I missed a handbag in the room because of the large amount of luggage. I returned to the hotel two hours later to enquire and was told that ”nothing other than RUBBISH was left in the room”, which I was shocked to hear, as the bag contained at least one whole cigarette (which my friend had commissioned me to buy from a Chinese duty free shop), a whole box of Chinese tea, a bag of expensive Chinese hot pot base, some chocolates and other items! . I didn't call the police for time reasons, but I chose to publicise this fact here, which I think is a shame for any hotel.FromUS$133

Just next to the bus terminal and river leading into the old town. Both are important as it’s during the travel and in and out by Lux Bus. And it’s next to the market, where you can get all kinds of fresh berries. Decent breakfast choices.FromUS$68

There is a station behind, and the station in front needs to pay attention to the vehicles due to the road construction. One stop and halfway from the central area. Opposite Tartu and Tartou is the central bus station. The hotel environment Lufthansa League traven is very atmospheric and suitable for self-driving.FromUS$66

Very good location at the hotel. Beautiful, clean. The sauna in the room gave a lot more. Breakfast was always stable and good and no hunger was. Food was also sufficiently different to make everyone beautify something in the stomach.FromUS$86

It's some flats in a bigger complex, which made it a little bit hard to find. Everything is fully automated, you won't see any staff. The upper part of the flat with the bed has an extremely low ceiling.
But all of that is complaining on a high level - it's very well equipped, the location is fantastic, and the cleanliness is spotless.
So if you are aware what you are booking, it's absolutely fine.FromUS$79
