Great value and confort

Great value, very confortable hotel. The room is big, with very confortable bed and matress. It has a big bathrom and good shower. the breakfast is very good too, and the staff vvery nice and attentive. There are some odd choices for such a new and nice building: it appears that there is not an elevator (not a problem for us even if we stayed in the 3rd floor, but may be a problem to someone with mobility difficulties). Also the blackout curtains do not cover the whole windows wide, so there is always light in the early morning. The location is on the eurpean/Russian part of the town, wich means very nice sidewalks and good restaurants, but also thar you have to walk a little more to the attractions, or maybe use a taxi. We did not regret chosing this area. Over all, we had a very confortable experience and would stay here again
