It's a great value for the bargain price, especially during the peak tourism season. The furniture is modern. The staff are friendly and actually helpful (not dismissive like some more higher-end hotels in Ukraine). The lower cost is because it's not in the city center, but that is only 1 kilometer to the northeast and I enjoyed the daily walk. Also, because of this, it is much more quiet than a hotel in the city center. I stayed in the extension building, which has exactly the same rooms as the main building, except the outside is not beautiful but that doesn't matter to me.
