Post your experiences here. As we know peoples experiences will vary, but here is where you can tell your opinion based on your personal experience and others can take from it what they will.

My experiences:

TALLINN

I've stayed at Dzingel Hotell twice. Rooms there are clean and cheaper than downtown. Free buffet breakfast. Overnight send out laundry service. They also have a restaurant and bar. Bus stop right outside. Free WIFI in the lobby. Guarded parking lot in the back. It's not fancy but I think a good value.

I do not recommend Hotel G9 downtown. You can hear everything going on in other rooms and out in the hall and everyone can hear you. Sounds like voices or loud shoes just echo down the hallways. When I stayed there a group of exchange students came in at 1am and that was the end of my nights sleep. The rooms aren't all that nice and parking is difficult to find near the hotel, unless you spend a fortune for underground parking. You can do much better than this place.

I also do not recommend the Hotell Salzburg. The website looks nice but it's a whole different experience when you get there. My "renovated" room was a joke and I felt like I was going to fall through the floor the way it bounced when I walked. Staff was unfriendly. Bad location outside the city. I left after the first night though my original booking was longer.

TARTU

About 10 years ago I stayed at the Carolina Guesthouse in Tartu. It was nice back then with friendly owners. I have no idea if or how much it may have changed over the years though. Worth looking into I would think. It's just outside of downtown, so maybe not so great if you don't have a car.

My favorite hotels have good accommodation's ALONG with reasonable prices.

Tallinn:

My favorite hotel is the TÄHETORNI HOTEL, about 5 miles from downtown Tallinn in the suburbs of Nomme. It's a wonderful family owned hotel with so much charm and is absolutely spotless. The prices are half of most hotels in downtown Tallinn, and the food is very good also. Here is the English page:

Tartu:

Just outside of downtown Tartu is a nice new hotel, the Raadimõisa. Here you will get a good nights sleep.

Tartu is a university town where the kids tend to stay out all night, so staying anywhere near the town square may often be a little disturbing at times. There IS a hotel about 8 blocks from the square called Hansa hotel. It is a German style with very cozy elegant rooms and a wonderful courtyard. However, half the rooms face a busy street while the other half face the courtyard. TAKE THE COURTYARD SIDE. The food there is so good that people all over Tartu come there to eat, and it's reasonable.
