Small and friendly hotel approximately 20mins walk from the charming old city centre. Also on tram route. Clean and functional room with safe and coffee maker. Buffet breakfast had plenty of choice. As a base for a 3 day stay it was ideal.

Genevieve, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is in a great area near a tram stop. The restaurant has interesting Ukrainian cuisine, for dining indoors or out. There are several other restaurants very close. The staff was professional, if not especially friendly. There is no front desk staff available overnight.

Felt the Check in Staff could have been more helpful, Didn't really explain things properly even with directions we were lost
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good value hotel for the money I paid. Two minutes from waitrose, 3 to the tube. Room was basic but quite big for a UK room. Bathroom was a little small however. Overall, would happily stay again. I hope they sort the gym out however!

True reality

Whilst checking in, receptionist was in a hurry to leave. Couldn’t ask her fwhether cot was in place. Found cot wasn’t there. Needed kettle, bowl, microwave. Receptionist who came the next day gave these. Other staff very nice and polite. Internet didn’t work until we left. Hot drinks available 6.30 - 21.00.
Abarna, 2-night trip

Comfortable hotel with all you would need in a decent location - 20 minutes walk to the centre. Comes with Basel card allowing free transport round the city.
