Месторасположение компенсирует все недостатки. The location makes up for all the shortcomings.

Each hotel has its pros and cons. Imbat was no exception, but I was ready for this, because I used to rest only in 5-star hotels, but even there they had their advantages and disadvantages. About Imbat. .
(+) a very well-planned area (it quickly becomes understandable, easy to navigate, the whole space, including the building - everything is thought out; beautiful, romantic; 1st line from the sea and its own beach (this rarely happens with 4-k); already about upon entering the hotel, you understand that it used to be and was built exclusively for wealthy tourists (Imbat is the very first hotel in the area); friendly and not arrogant staff (there are those who speak Russian), I was pleased with the free and very convenient safe in the room , free Internet.
(-) it is very difficult to pay with a plastic card on the territory of the hotel, and I found an ATM in a 30-minute walk in the city (agree, not everyone will have so much patience to look for it . . ); the hotel is old (this is a plus and it is a minus at the same time) . . about the merits (the excellent location, which is not typical for 4-rooms, I already wrote above, but the disadvantage becomes clear by itself - the building, the rooms need cosmetic repairs (in my room there were slightly shabby walls, an armchair with a hole (some of the tourists apparently liked to smoke without going out to the balcony)), not modern, but not classic interior either - the furniture reminds of the late 80s; I didn’t like that tea and coffee were not allowed take in the restaurant for lunch and dinner (these drinks are simply not there at this time). Those who want to drink them are invited to go up to the next floor (where there are very few places in the open area, and you don’t want to drink tea indoors on a pleasant evening. sit in a restaurant, have a dessert and drink wine, powdered juice or cola. I want to drink tea in a restaurant, but alas)... There is also a remark about cleaning. . It was quite tolerable, but the balcony was never taken into account. I lived on first floor, on my balcony There were plastic chairs covered with dust in a dense layer, on which I didn’t even want to dry a towel (let alone sit), there was a dusty floor and leaves of shrubs were lying around . . In short, I tried not to go out onto the balcony, but only spend the night in my room, take a shower before dinner and wait a couple of hours of heat while reading a book or watching TV. . If the comfort in the room is MEGA important for you and everything should be there at the highest level, I don’t recommend going to Imbat.
