“By and large we liked it here – the rooms are clean, with good sound insulation. Friendly receptionist and staff, we checked in an hour early by prior arrangement. The interior of the room is quite nice. One minus – there is no refrigerator. In order to go to breakfast, I had to fully dress (the café is located in a separate building, there is no food delivery). Another point for those who choose this place to stop – there are no shops nearby, and there is no drinking regime, so buy water in advance” Dmitry, Russia
