We found our room to be clean and comfortable. The view out of the large window was amazing! The bed was comfortable. We did ask for an additional towel, as only 2 were provided, but we received it within minutes. The breakfast buffet was large and had everything you could want. The KGB museum tour was a neat little bonus, too.

The location was good. Near the old town, some tram stations and a bus station I didn’t use. It’s situated above a shopping mall with a food court which was a nice touch. The breakfast was good and there’s plenty of seating. The staff is also very helpful for tourists.
