Amazing location right on the beach in Samara! We booked the second floor apartment that had a balcony overlooking the beach. Beautiful views and quiet area. We ate lunch in the Cafe and breakfast too - the food was delicious. Xinia was for helpful. It was renovated last year and the rooms are comfortable and clean. I highly recommend it for a water front boutique hotel at a value price! I would definitely stay again!
