Azat Russia

Staff in the hotel is great, many thanks to Ivanna who met us on the day of arrival, she was very friendly and helpful! For us it's probably the most important - the way how a hotel interacts with you. Breakfasts - good quality, and still good variety, very nice restaurant overall. Location is its great advantage! Dostoevsky restaurant is a beautiful place for a dinner or lunch, nice interior, small private booths for two or more, food quality is very good. We will want to return here again!

Georgy Switzerland

The hotel is very well located. Very central location. Close to metro. Helpfull and friendly staff.
