For those who are in the car, there is a parking lot. But we didn't need it. We are almost on foot: -)
Also, the hotel has a small observation deck and we first wandered there, taking pictures. And immediately noted - SILENCE. Only birds ...
Then, this is a real citadel, skillfully transformed into a hotel. It looks cold. For the spirit. But when you get inside, you realize that it is cozy. We had a standard room on the ground floor and I was a little shocked. That is, you go in, turn left - and you're home: -). Somehow surprised. Usually the hotel itself starts from the second floor. That is, it immediately became interesting. But you know, you're at home and on the ground floor. Separate bathroom and toilet.
Dried flowers and fruits to smell in a vase in the bathroom and a great set of herbal cleansers. Excellent lighting, by the way, is very respectful.
The room is warm and soft. Soft white bathrobes are wrapped in comfort from the shower. Philips TV. I respect this brand, it does not hurt the eyes. On the table greetings from the mineral: -) Macaroons-Valentines. And a big bed. I don't know what kind of mattress there is, but in the morning we barely got up, it's so chic. That's how he would lie and lie. The room has everything you need and at the reception several times repeated that they are available 24 hours and number 777.
That's what struck me, it's a smoking room. Honestly, I'm getting used to the fact that smokers are treated as a third class. Here she came. . it became uncomfortable to smoke in this room. It is very wise, I think, to combine a room with a hookah. Because the smell of cigarettes is completely absent.
They also offer tea and coffee and other drinks, but I came for a smoke break: -) This is the coolest room for cigarette smoking.
The dinner was absolutely stunning. It makes no sense to describe it. It is a must eat. From myself: tasty, hearty, easy and very helpful white piano: -) I like the fact that the music is nice to absorb a culinary product and enjoy the conversation. The interior of the restaurant "Cannon" conquered, to be honest: -) these cores on the ceiling: -) The color is yes, but not stressful. Mozzarella salad ...it's something! And the "duck leg" was wonderful. And panna cotta. It's all worth trying and savoring. I especially want to mention bread. All the bread is delicious and we repeatedly asked to bring more. Then they learned that they baked their own bread in the Citadel. That's how white and sesame smells to me now. He pumped up a little coffee, but they are to blame. You can't make Americano in an espresso machine: -)
We came to breakfast first, so the food was VERY MUCH!
And here we were waiting for a real delicious COFFEE. The city was just waking up, clearing the fog, and we were already admiring it, shrouded in scent. We were also asked: what will you be? is that And I don't understand any of the three languages without coffee. Only sign language ... : -) And ate again: -) Delicious omelet with ham and tomatoes and grapefruit juice. AND COFFEE. It immediately becomes clear why my parents traveled by train to Lviv in their youth.
Going out in the morning to the upper observation deck of the Citadel to smoke, holding a mug of morning and much-needed drink, seeing the roofs of churches, churches, towers, even under the clouds you feel great, once you were given the honor to wake up in the "castle". , fed, watered, warmed ...How to feel? There are people around you who can't be called service staff.
My stay at the hotel can be compared, perhaps, to the stay of a high-ranking person at a high level.
Maybe cool rich people have the opportunity to relax on the weekends every time, but this is my first time in this I will never forget. Thanks to this hospitality, simple human kindness. I understand perfectly well that this is a job and so on. I don't think it's just a job. Those people who work in this hotel (and the staff in the hotel is young), really like to do their job, it is visible to them, because the courtesy is sincere and not played.
Therefore, I would like to express my gratitude to the management and staff of the hotel for the rest.
There is only one downside, we did not have time to go to the spa. Nothing: -), another time.
Tip for room selection: Good everywhere. Noise, sound and odor insulation are excellent. The main thing is not to be ashamed and ask about everything. . .
Of the minuses: there is no internet in the rooms, only in a bar or restaurant and the rooms on the first floor, the view from the window is a wall. We were luckier, we were on the second floor. And one more thing: there is no bathroom in the rooms, only a shower room, but this is for lovers of splashing, it did not bother us at all.
The whole family thought for a long time where to go for the Christmas holidays. I wanted something new, colorful, fabulous. And we were not mistaken in choosing Lvov as a target. The choice of the hotel fell on my lot. Without thinking for a long time, I climbed into the Internet and began my search. Feedback came to the rescue and that is why I also want to help people with my small contribution.
And here we are on the platform, and here we are in Lviv, taxi, direction Citadel Inn.
The appearance was simply amazing. I've traveled a lot and never seen anything like it. The fortress in the past, perfectly restored, impressed with its size and grandeur. And the huge surrounding area in the park area makes it look like a palace. And indeed it is. You feel like a queen. Inside, marble, gilding, everything is royal, every detail of the interior is very well thought out. The welcome was warm and homey. The girl at the reception very quickly and skillfully registered us, initiated us into additional accommodation services, handed everyone a map of the city, said that it was worth visiting and even booked a table in a cafe for the evening. The porter helped with things, and on the way to the room he briefly told the rich history of Fort Citadel. It was our first, quite informative, tour in Lviv. Overwhelmed with pride that we will live in such a place rich in history, we walked into our rooms with our heads held high... and were delighted. The rooms are spacious, luxurious and comfortable. And the parents' suite is just like an apartment, only without a kitchen. And why not. The cuisine of the restaurant was simply excellent. The chef is a master of his craft. And pistachio cake - death to the figure! The breakfasts were so rich and thought out in a European way that after them it was difficult to force yourself to go on an excursion. But it was worth it. The guide, who was advised to us by the girl from the reception, was very interesting and informative, taking into account our wishes, she initiated us into the history and life of the Lviv people. I confess to you honestly, I fell in love with this city. The Christmas holidays added a special touch. You can write about Lviv for a long time, but you just have to see it. After long walks and gatherings in cafes, it was so nice to warm up in the sauna, which was free for hotel guests. Oh yes, and my brother and I were very pleased with the round-the-clock lounge bar with hateful music and fragrant klyan.
I promise myself to return to this city again and to this hotel, which I recommend to all of you !! !
