Planeta (Планета)

An absolutely marvellous hotel featuring the very best in what most hotels behind the former Iron Curtain gave up years ago. Still slightly struggling to come to terms with the 21st century, the staff are at least very friendly and most of them now speak good English. The rooms come in a number of different classes to suit all tastes and pockets, with the ones high up in the building boasting beautiful views of the river and city spread out below. Wireless internet is available throughout the building and the breakfast, served inside a gorgeous room complete with brightly coloured Socialist Realist ceramic art, is ample. Recommended.
