"Prior to stay in this hotel, we stayed at Hotel Europa which is more elegant with bigger room, pool/sauna, spacious lobby and it is historical. Its hotel breakfast is 80 rubles with live music.
This doubletree hotel is 40% pricier. Its breakfast is ridiculously expensive (95 rubles) with no music and no better food, even though there are so many restaurants nearby, including a food court in an adjacent building.
Room cleaning was either late (after 5pm) or skipped on some day.
The only advantage is newer. The room has a view but, before the square, we looked at a roof with complicated ventilation ductwork.
This is not recommend, due to its higher price with poor services."
