Hotel Imperyum

The staff speak Ukrainian, which made communication easier. But I wouldn’t recommend staying here. It was promoted as attractive with a mountain view, yet there was no mention of the lack of air conditioning, a real problem in temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius, or of there being no elevator. There was a mountain view, but apparently it was due to the remains of a factory, or rather its ruins.

It was a quiet place, and we were pleasantly surprised by the welcome and cleanliness. We found a good price for two nights over New Year's Eve. Although we’d booked accommodation only, we were given plain water, coffee, and tea throughout our booking.

I’d only recommend this place for a stopover. The room was tidy, spacious, and had okay furniture, but there’s no elevator, so you have a lot of stairs to climb with luggage. It’s in an industrial area with a deplorable exterior and feels quite deserted, though there is a mall very close by. Breakfast was very poor, and it’s not a buffet. Having the same breakfast every day is no good. During my six-night stay the room wasn’t cleaned at all, and the trash was only taken out after I specifically asked.

We spent six days here with our dog and used the place as a base for exploring the area. There’s free parking in front of the building and strong Wi-Fi. The room was spacious and clean, with comfortable beds. The receptionist and kitchen staff were very friendly. If we need a place in the area again, we’ll definitely book here. Thank you, we’ll be back.
