Pros:

I really liked that it was very close by taxi to everywhere, it was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast had many options as well. There was a cafe near the reception that was open till late, and the hotel felt really safe.

Nice place, great check-in manager.
Pros:

The biggest plus of this hotel is the wonderful manager, Mila, who greeted us, checked us in quickly, and answered all our questions. And when we were leaving early in the morning, she looked for us, answered all our taxi questions, and was super friendly. I think she's a great professional and should be given a bonus or a raise. She's really cool (and I've been to a lot of hotels).

Cons:

The quality of a hotel itself and how modern and comfortable it is can be judged by one thing: sanitary pads. If they are available, the hotel is truly good. If not... then the hotel needs to think about... well, this hotel needs to think about it.

I would like to especially thank Ivan, who works at the front desk. He was very kind, attentive, and helpful throughout our stay. He treated us with great respect and understanding, and most importantly, he really took our situation into consideration and did his best to help us. We truly appreciated his kindness, patience, and professionalism. Thanks to Ivan, we felt very welcome and well taken care of. Excellent service and a wonderful attitude

Pros:

Хотела бы поделиться впечатлением о проживании в данном отеле. Останавливалась здесь уже пару раз, очень удобное расположение отеля, мебель вся хорошая, сантехника чистая, персонал тоже приятный, помогут чем смогут)
До метро идти минут 8-10 пешком, очень удобно добираться из/в аэропорт, мало пересадок и дорога занимает около 1:15, что очень даже быстро, так как на такси иногда приходится ехать около 2-2,5 часов из-за пробок

Единственное, что немного не устроило это то что не всегда пылесосили в номере, полотенца могли менять каждый день, мусор также, но вот пыль на полу иногда собиралась достаточно быстро
Это пожалуй, единственный минус который я заметила, а так проживание было на хорошем уровне, не зря я два раза возвращалась в это место

Советую данный отель для комфортного проживания!!!

Cons:

Не часто пылесосили в номере - единственный минус
