This place is in excellent location, and while the building is old and rustic (lot of Tartu is) the stay is the most enjoyable. Staff is friendly. The interior and the exterior is pretty unique. Breakfast is good and included in the price. The overall value for the money is very good. Recommended!

A cozy, clean and practical old fashioned apartment type hotel room. Nice personnel. Astonishing location in the heart of the city. Related to the Tampere-Tartu city friendship but open to everyone.

The location is almost in the heart of the city. I woke up with the ring bell's of the church. It was like in the fairytale. Walking by the city I thought that the architecture and the vibe reminds me at the same time an Italy, and our Ukraine (city Dnipro) with its river. So, it was cool, to have an opportunity to walk in the park, which is near the hotel, and came back from good party very quickly because it is in the neighborhood too.
What about the stuff, they were amazing, very friendly and hospitality. The breakfast was super lovely. This tiny portion of good quality of cheese and sausage. Everything was tasty and fresh and very hot. Thank a lot.

Really nice guesthouse.

Good location close by town square. Hotel has few parking spots so on a quiet day it works well. Staff is very friendly, not available 24/7 but you get keys to walk freely on and out.

Cozy and warm rooms in an old building. Day we arrived it was -18C and I was little worried when I saw the old building but no draft and very warm rooms.

Upstairs we had a common area with fridge & microwave, Kettle and coffee machine so small snacks with family are doable.

I really enjoyed stay in Tampere Maja. Good and helpful staff. Very good breakfasts. Spacious room. Bulding is authentic and wooden and has great atmosphere. It is practically in the city center so you can walk everywhere. It has small sauna for a surcharge for guests.

This place is what I envision all Finnish houses to be. It is basic but it is excellent for what you pay. City centre is only couple of minutes walk away. Breakfast is true to what Nordic countries have for breakfast. Coffee was fantastic. Staff was very welcoming. We stayed in room 3. We didn’t have a bath but I don’t expect one in hotels anymore. Only downside was that hot water comes from hot water tank and it isn’t big enough for 2 people to have decent shower. If you’re second to have shower be quick coz there won’t be enough hot water. Room has good aircon and you’ll need it coz you can’t open window. I do suggest to invest in blackout curtains coz in summer waking up at 4-5am to day light is too early. Bed was comfy and having 2 quilts was great. Definitely would stay again as they have carpark and location is perfect.

Fantastically homely and central place. Surgically clean but cosy. Facilities are outstanding. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is filling and offers different choices. Absolutely loved staying there.
