Yes, everything was nice. One complaint: there is no Nespresso machine in the room. And when I asked, I was told they are only for Junior Suites. Not fair!

Hotel Ukraine
The location is excellent. The view is unbeatable. It’s right in the heart of the city, within walking distance of everything. However, the breakfast is very simple and the internet is poor. Still, I will always stay at Ukraina.
