Oh man, this is a tough review. We have 5 people in my party including grandma who is on a wheelchair. This place is close to the top of a hill, built on a slope. I got a room for 5 people. It ended up having 1 twin futon, which they expected to fit 2 people (no). A full sized bed (OK for two people) and a single bed. The room was split into 2 levels with a narrow spiral staircase to the lower level. The floor downstairs was sopping wet, we found out the ceiling was leaking. The host, to her credit, ended up giving us 2 alternative rooms, each with a queen bed and a large couch to sleep on and that ended up accommodating us much better for sleep. The rooms also had AC units which were a godsend during the summer heat. The rooms smelled badly of smoking, but were otherwise nice. At this point I was going to give this place 5 stars based on the great customer service. I had also purchased van transfer to the airport the next morning at 10am, paid in cash.
This is where it falls apart. We had a flight at 2pm. I had incorporated 1 hour for travel time (it's around 30-40 min away) plus the 3 hours for international travel. It was an HOUR late. I can't express how stressful this hour wait was, not knowing if we would make our flight (we barely did)! And we had to go down 2 sloped streets (with wheelchair) to get to him! It was ridiculous. Never again. I'm giving 3 stars because the hosts were amazing and did their best. Otherwise it would have been 1 star.
This is the perfect little guesthouse. So charming and lovely. The staff were especially sweet, especially Svitlana, who went above and beyond. I will definitely stay here again - I loved absolutely everything about it during my 2 week stay!! This is a really special place. Also great location!
Super séjour dans une très jolie suite avec beaucoup de cachet local. Lits très confortables, patio agréable pour le petit déjeuner, on n'entend pas du tout les bruits de la ville. Hôtes très à l'écoute, serviables et de bon conseil. Hôtel très bien situé pour explorer la ville à pied, tram ou bateau. On y retournera volontiers !
Oda temiz, düzenli, çalışanlar geç saatte gelmemize rağmen çok ilgili ve yardımcı oldular. Lokasyon olarak yokuşlu ve biraz yürümesi zor ancak merkezi konumda.
