Express Residence

Good

Good

The hotel is very good, value for money is excellent. We have previously stayed at the Grand Hotel Orient which is more expensive. However, this time there were no rooms. And the Express Hotel was a pleasant surprise, because, with the exception of the smaller size of the room, it did not differ from the more expensive Orient. Solid furniture, good bedding and mattresses, bathroom equipment. Very clean. The air conditioning works well in the room and a decent sized fridge also works well, unlike the minibars which are barely cold. Additional options include soap (in dispensers) and towels. There are no slippers, brushes, etc. - you need to have it with you (by the way, this is not stated by the hotel, I just inform you). Breakfast is similar to what was offered in the Orient. Not a large assortment, but everything is fresh and of high quality: eggs, sausages, tomatoes, several types of cheese, bread, juice and good coffee. One fresh tomato is better than 10 weathered vegetables. The staff speaks English.

This is not something that I did not like, but rather features: Parking - the hotel has its own parking places on the street. Employees are watching them, and there are cameras, but this is not a separate courtyard, nor covered parking. And when the hotel is full, you need to make sure that you have enough space - check this in advance. The hotel restaurant does not seem to be open on a regular basis for hotel guests. It organizes banquets, celebrates weddings, and breakfasts are served for hotel guests. You will most likely not be able to eat (lunch, or dinner) in this restaurant. But there are several cafes nearby, and the best, as TripAdvisor says, pizza in the city. The hotel is located 2 -2.5 km from the main streets with restaurants. You can walk, there are many nice buildings from the beginning of the 20th century in the city. Please note that taxis in the city do not accept card payments, we took money from an ATM 300 m from the hotel to pay. In our room and in others, judging by the building, there are no balconies. If you are a smoker, be prepared to go outside.
