Stayed for only one night in late April. There are some good plus points for this hotel but also significant negatives. Service was exceptional. When I discovered I had purchased the wrong style of electric outlet adaptor in Canada, they were able to provide one for me which I later purchased from them. Breakfast was excellent European style with many... More

There are some pluses. Firstly it has Ukranian charm, and the staff, (like most Ukranians) are very friendly. None more so than the very concerned client relations manager who listened to my complaints attentively and did as much as she could to alleviate them. Onto the many minuses. The walls are paper thin. I have been kept awake by three... More

The water doesn't go anywhere and stays on the floor for hours, so if you want to go and put your clothes on and then revisit the bathroom you will stand in 20 cm of water on the floor. The... More

Having read the different reviews, we weren't sure what to expect - a great experience or a miserable one. However, we were pleasantly surprised. We had asked for our room to be upgraded from a standard room to a river view room, and are glad we did this. Having what they call a 'city-view' means that you look out onto... More
