Dont book it!
Travelled on 05/2026
The hotel is almost derelict in places. Stairwells badly lit, dirty, and broken glass on the stairs in places, with badly maintained railings. Lifts kept breaking down and the breakfast room was on the 4th floor, overcrowded and the selection was unappealing with bruised and over ripe fruit, eggs that were overcooked and stale salami. No proper restaurant, no bar, no milk for the tea tray in the room. Their website s...

Brilliant and basic!
Travelled on 04/2026
Solo trip, safe hotel, decent breakfast (amazing coffee!). The 100E bus from the airport will drop you off about a 10-15min walk away (all flat).

The tram is about 1 min walk from the hotel, with only a couple of stops and you are ...

Would stay here again
Travelled on 10/2025
I booked with lastminute and was pleasantly surprised. I do not understand people moaning about the irony railings and old lift. It's authentic not some boring gutted building like everything else in the world. Please keep the soviet style lift my friend and I loved it. It's a part of history now.
I found the hotel spotless and the room was huge. Fab location and really lovely staff. Aircon was a bonus, didn't...
