Не советую останавливаться в этом отели за такую стоимость, есть намного лучше варианты рядом еще и дешевле.
Pros:

Только местоположение объекта.

Cons:

Цена не соответствует качеству.Номера не соответствуют фотографиям на букинге, все очень старое, ванная комната это просто ужас,не удобная, не комфортно принимать душ, все стены грязные, ковер грязный, уже пора все обновить, раз Вы ставите такой ценник за номер.Сотрудники отеля не клиентоориентированны, выгоняют из лаунжа на первом этаже, ровно в 9:00, хотя мы сидели не кому не мешали, sky lounge работает вообще не логично, хочется приехать вечером в отель и посидеть спокойно отдохнуть с видом, но он закрывается очень рано, и открывается поздно, не возможно им пользоваться, поэтому нет смысла переплачивать за эту услугу.
