Pros:

Хорошая гостиница на пару ночей, в целом вкусный завтрак, не очень обширный выбор, но он есть.
Номера конечно старые, обшарпанные, видно что давно ремонта не было в отеле, но в целом выполняет свои функции и проблем не было.

Good hotel, good price, VILLA WON.
Pros:

Location was excellent for Taxim Square. Short walk. Transport links excellent nearby. Even though on a busy main road, soundproofing was excellent. Gentleman on check out was super friendly. Nice big room & bathroom.

Cons:

Room absolutely stunk of smoke when got in there. Kept window open when not in room so cleared in a day.
TV had no signal so couldn’t watch anything.
Man on check in was quite rude, just muttered passport to me & then handed me over to a guy who took me to my room.
