Outstanding in every way. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The hotel lobby has great free coffee and hot chocolate. The spa is amazing. Great pool, steam, saunas and showers. The room is large, well furnished and comfortable. The bathroom is wonderful. The hotel is a five minute walk to the Town Hall Square full of shops and restaurants.

Beautiful hotel with great central location. Relaxing spa area, if without kids. Wide and good selection for breakfast. Shame we had the room on ground floor facing a brick wall.

We loved the spa at Lydia Hotel. And bravo to the management for making this relatively small space adults only. In the same week we stayed at the Radisson Collection in Tallinn, where children were allowed to run around and yell. It was bad experience.

Probably one of the best hotels in Tartu

The room (5th floor) was very spacious and comfy. Being a big coffee fiend I enjoyed the coffee-maker in the room. Beautiful views of Pirogov Park. Breakfast was tasty. Really enjoyed the small spa with its two saunas - great way to unwind in the evening or start your day.

Beautiful Property, lots of public space. Great breakfast including made to order options. Our room for two had only one chair and no desk chair with a back. This can be fixed with a space saving desk chair. Rooms in top end hotels should always have a chair for each adult occupant.

Wonderful hotel in a great location

My wife and I stayed at the Lydia hotel (classic double room) for one night in July 2024. We absolutely loved this Michelin star hotel! The hotel and the room were very clean, modern, and had everything we needed. Our room faced the park, so it was very quiet, and we slept like babies in the very, very comfortable bed. The location is fantastic, right across the street from the old town’s main square. There was no room in their parking garage as I hadn’t pre-booked parking, so bear this in mind. I parked in an underground garage a ten-minute walk from the hotel, and it was very reasonable (€10/day). The breakfast was extraordinary, lots of choices but also so well prepared, from the fluffy scrambled eggs to the honey produced in their own apiary on the roof of the hotel. We were sorry we didn’t eat at the restaurant the night before when we saw how great their breakfast was. Perhaps best of all was the lovely staff. They were all so friendly and helpful, in stark contrast to what we experienced the previous two days in Tallinn. You won’t go wrong with this delightful hotel, and we would absolutely stay there again.
