Frosen in time.
Pros:

The public areas and the rooms are spacious. Room has a large balcony. There is a pretty large pool on the roof with strech beds around it (but it closes at 17hr30(??)

Cons:

It looks like this hotel had it's last make-over in the early nineteen-sixties or so. The drapes, the colours, the furniture, the equipment. All last seen in the former Sovjet Union, really. Also the breakfast needs an upgrade in choises and equipement.
