While searching for a hotel for our stay in Lviv, we came by the info about this hotel solely by coincidence. It did not have any reviews online, but I decided to book it anyways. Having completed the stay at this hotel, I am glad to have booked it. The location is simply wonderful for anyone who wants to stay close to the railway station. It takes 10 minutes on foot, at most, to reach the main train station. Additionally, you can take numerous minibuses (marshrutka) that will bring you from the hotel to the city center within 10 minutes (costing ca. 2 UAH=0.2 EUR). The hotel staff spoke adequate English, were professional and complied with our requests. The big problem of Lviv - permanent water supply - was not an issue during my stay and I could enjoy showers at any time during the day. The breakfast was ample with some Ukrainian specialties (cold cuts are highly recommended). There is wi-fi in the hotel, however the signal does get a bit weaker the further one goes from the signal transmitter. Overall, a great stay. One tip: if you need to take a taxi in Lviv, call for one beforehand. Only taxis, which are ordered via phone will have meters and will charge you according to set rates. I personally used one called "Sophia taxi " [0038032243-2-243].
