"Pros: Great location and view, nice host, comfortable place, it has almost everything you need: utensils, linens, AC Cons: There were no simple things like soap or salt" ~Roman

"Pros: The room was so clean that my white socks didn’t even get slightly dirty when I walked barefoot. The dishes and glasses were spotless. After taking a bath, I used my foot to push the water toward the drain, so the floor dried quickly, and I didn’t have to deal with a wet bathroom. However, as usual, I forgot to bring rubber slippers, and I didn’t want to use wet ones after bathing. When I asked for an extra pair, they immediately provided me with several! Some parts of the ceiling were a bit low, but I was careful. They had also placed soft foam padding on the edges to minimize injury if bumped, though I never hit my head during my three-day stay. The bed could have been more comfortable, and while the blanket seemed clean, I prefer using my own during trips. I placed the hotel’s blanket under my bed sheet, which made the bed much cozier. As mentioned in other reviews, the walls were thin. However, at night, I turned on the heater, which emitted a steady hum that masked neighbor noises and didn’t disturb my sleep. The stay was absolutely worth the price. The location was excellent. I enjoyed 15-minute walks to Republic Square and nearby museums. The U.S. embassy was 15 minutes away by car. I didn’t encounter any traffic on the way, even though it was raining. Grocery stores and bakeries were close by, though I had brought my own food and stored it in the refrigerator. As a solo female traveler, I never felt unsafe, neither in the hotel nor in the city. Police presence was noticeable everywhere! Before booking, I did extensive search, and I’m very happy with my choice. My priorities, safety, cleanliness, affordability, facilities, and location were all fully met." ~Shahrzad
