"The hotel is good. Big, spacious rooms, comfortable beds. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The hotel is in a very good location near city centre. The breakfast was very busy. The breakfast room is too small, people can't get their breakfasts. There are not enough cups, glasses,plates, as well as food for all people, who came for breakfast. Our room was on the ground floor, people smoke outside near our window, smoke gets in the room. That was the downside."

"Panoramic room had a fantastic view, but very restricted head height - and not much room one side of the bed, but was comfortable - if hot as the temperature was in the high 20s. Breakfast was ok, plentiful and no problems getting a table. Lifts were a little cronky, but hotel was convenient for all old town sights, only about 20 minutes walk to the KGB Museum and Art Nouveau properties."
