Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean, cozy, and modestly furnished in a beautiful Nordic design style, but they were quite small, lacked a mini fridge, and the bathroom was cramped. The service was incredibly friendly, and the facilities were pleasant. The location was amazing, with a beautiful view over the city, but the lack of special diets consideration during breakfast was disappointing.
The hotel's location near the bus station and the city center is very convenient. The rooms are cozy and airy, although a bit noisy when it rained. The service was accommodating and understanding despite some initial hiccups. Dining options were above average with a nice variety. The facilities were well-organized and pleasant.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room was spacious and clean, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city with easy access to the bus station and the old town. The dining options were good, but there could be some improvements. Overall, a great value for money.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were well-equipped with a good hairdryer, LED TV with Russian channels, a shower, and a bath, making it accessible for wheelchair users. While a few spare glasses and a kettle for tea would have been nice, the overall experience was great. The service was top-notch, with proactive maintenance and a polite and competent staff who even moved me to a quieter room upon request. The location is ideal, being close to popular centers and malls, although the proximity to the busy bus station could be a bit impersonal. The dining options were average with some limitations for dietary restrictions. The hotel lacks gluten-free bread and vegan options, but the variety is decent with some local products. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated making for a peaceful atmosphere. The service at the reception was exceptionally kind and helpful. However, the dining experience could be more organized. The hotel is equipped with great amenities including a modern hairdryer and LED TV with Russian channels.
The hotel is located in a great spot, close to the central bus station and shopping facilities, making it convenient for exploring the old town. The rooms are cozy, clean, and well-equipped, although the service could be friendlier. The dining offers a variety of options but ends quite early. Overall, a good value for money choice in an excellent location.
My stay at this hotel was delightful. The rooms were clean and peaceful, the service at the reception was very kind, and the views from the rooms were spectacular. This place was even cleaner than some rooms I've seen in 4-star hotels, which was a pretty nice gesture. However, a smile now and then from the staff would have added a nice touch to the experience.
The hotel is located right by the Central Bus Station, making it very convenient for transportation, but a bit far from the city center. The rooms, despite showing their age a bit and experiencing some issues with rain leaking through at night, were still clean and nice with very comfortable beds and good pillows. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff, although they could consider providing extra pillows for more comfort. The location is excellent, being next to shopping centers and offering easy access to the city's activities. The dining experience, while offering a generous selection of food, could use better presentation and more detailed information about the products. Overall, a good value for the money.
