Nice stay.

We have stayed in family room which had kitchenette and private bathroom with toilet which was very nice to have. Room was equipped with pots pans dishes and everything what was needed to prepare something to eat. Dishes looked clean but when you pay attention the they weren't. clean at all so better to wash them again :) Stay was nice overall

A nice eco-friendly hostel

Nice and quirky little hostel close to popular Aparaaditehas with great shops and eateries but also not too far from city centre. I stayed in a private room, which was spacious and had a desk. I enjoyed my stay and recommend it if you want good value for money. Just keep in mind that it’s a hostel (not a hotel) so it’s no frills and comes with lively common areas.

Väga meeldiv ja vastutulelik personal ning armas koht. Eriti meeldis, et hostel on äärmiselt loodussõbralik. Kindlasti külastame edaspidiTartus ööbides just Looming hostelit. Hommikusööki sai osta väga soodsalt ja see oli täiesti piisav ning maitsev.
