An excellent hotel almost in the center of Lugansk. Cafe on the ground floor, grocery store opposite. The rooms are clean, new furniture and fresh bed linen. There is a water outage after 22:00, but this is most likely temporary. There are polite, pretty girls at the reception. In the corridors there are paintings in the style of Soviet realism, and in some places a portrait of V.I. Lenin, which evoke nostalgic notes about the universal brotherhood of the USSR.
It's a good place, I can't say that everything is perfect, but you can stay. Small Parking, modest breakfasts, average room comfort, often "snow" or "rain" on the TV, but there is a card payment.
Excellent hotel, I liked everything, and polite staff, and cleanliness in the room, and excellent cuisine, only good impressions, thanks to the director for the hospitality
The hotel is probably the best in the city, the only drawback is the lack of a guaranteed possibility of booking by phone and a shift in a cafe in which there is an elderly man, he is very slow to accept orders for breakfast and payment for it.
The hotel is generally good, but the restaurant service is poor, it takes up to 40 minutes to have breakfast, 15-20 minutes to take an order, they may refuse, because a lot of people want to eat. There are no vacationers in this hotel , everyone comes for work and so on. When the full settlement is complete , the Management think you can probably bring out an additional one. Chefs and waiters. And if some big shot comes, all the attention is on him and you can forget about breakfast and dinner.
They could not be reached with a Russian SIM card, they had to arrive without a call, in fact there were no available rooms and there was no reservation. 1 star is just for being very polite girls at the reception.
