A very interesting hotel in the old fortress. There is a front garden with rare landscaping plants around. A summer playground for outdoor dining in a clearing in front of the hotel.
There is a guarded parking lot for cars.
The rooms are arranged in a circle, in the center there is a lobby bar with a glass dome. There is a hookah bar, a fitness room, and an excellent sauna.
The restaurant is on the top floor with a circular balcony offering a wonderful view of Lviv. There are separate halls for banquets and VIP-persons.
There is a lot of marble and wood in the decoration, potted plants, sofas and armchairs, cannons and cannons.
Everything is very thorough, fashionable.
The rooms are standard, ergonomic, clean. Beautiful view. Not in the very center, but within walking distance from it. The staff is polite, but they could not help with questions about transport and logistics.
The building itself is beautiful, the history of the place chosen for the hotel is confusing. If you are interested, you can search. For some, this may be critical.
The Citadel?! Which even in the eighties the people avoided. Citadel - Stalag 328 Death camp for prisoners of war: Konzentrationslager der Standarte 328. Where, from 1941 to 1944, more than ONE HUNDRED and FORTY THOUSAND prisoners were killed. The one that Churchill himself called the camp of "drops of water and slow death" on British radio. The one where the camp commandant organized the "orchestra of death", to the music of which the executions took place right in the camp. A camp in which not only hundreds of thousands of Soviet citizens were killed, but also thousands of Poles, Italians, Belgians, and British who were sent here to be martyred!
If you are not confused by the fact that Stalag 238 concentration camp used to be in this citadel, then you will enjoy your stay at this hotel. The rooms are incomparable, the service is excellent, the view of Lviv at night from the top of the tower is amazing. This is the mixed impression left by this wonderful hotel.
