I thought it was a good place. The bed was great. It was in a fantastic location. It is at the true heart of the entrance. The parking was easy. The room was spacious and had a nice swimming pool .If and when I return to the entrance, it is highly likely that I will rebook there.

Only stay here if Chernobyl is fully booked. Awful is an understatement. Filthy, in poor repair, "staff" indifferent at best, borderline hostile. Appears to be in the very early stages of "renovation" - the journey ahead is a very long one.
