City views - Надія

The Hotel надія (Nadiya) on the main street Незaлежності (Nezalezhnosti, "Independence"). The largest, arguably best hotel in the city, where foreign tourists mainly from Western Europe, often stay. I spent one night and used their 'expensive' internet business center until I got settled elsewhere. It has been renovated in sections; some of it is modern and comfortable, parts of it are still soviet, with prices reflecting the difference, 24 or 50 dollars per night. A nice buffet breakfast is included.
