Agat Hotel

+ Water in the lobby :)
- there wasn't anything that didn't like

We stayed for a few days at this hotel which is a 2 star venue. The hotel has 85 rooms spread over about 8 floors. My room had two single beds with a balcony facing the side with the forest. Although advertised as having flat screen tv's, mine still had an old set with no English channels The bathroom and toilet was separate with the toilet pot being nearly against the door. Tall people would have a problem sitting comfortably.There were a small coffee table with two chairs and large enough space in the room and the wardrobe as well as a bar fridge. The room itself was neat and clean although not new/modern.

There was about 3-4 lifts, but tiny ones taking 2-4 people maximum or two people with their luggage. The keys were old fashoned with huge metal like door stoppers as keyrings. Breakfast and other meals in the restaurant on the side was interesting - they do not offer continental breakfast but a set menu and it took some explanation before we could get vegetarian meals The dining room serves as the bar and disco and for supper we had two live artist singing, but the sound was much too loud which did not make it pleasant. The lady at the bar could speak English, so at least could get good coffee.

The room was cleaned daily and I got extra shampoo sachets and soap. Te one night receptionist, a young lady Valentina, who studied Tourism, was not only English conversant, but also very friendly and helpful and could give directions for walking around to see some sights. There was free Wi-Fi, bu a bummer as one had to continually sign in and then the password would not take immediately.

They had a water machine on each floor so that was neat as was the ATM machine in the lobby with some pretty wood carvings on the wall. The hotel itself is close to the Olympic Sports Centre and next to a lake and is built in an interesting shape - something like a half pyramid.
