A beautiful hotel - we quite enjoyed our stay. All staff are very friendly, professional, gentle and social.
We did not stay for long enough to experience all the amenities such as gym and swimming pool. We will next time we visit this well run hotel.

Excellent hotel in the heart of the city.
Would not stay anywhere else.
Good value for money.
Good breakfast, only complaint would be the selection and variety of cheese.

We booked a five day stay at Sarova Stanley and honestly it was the best decision. From the moment we arrive, we are greeted warmly by the staff and took care right away of our baggages. Upon entry they took care of us with warm towels and refreshments which was absolutely lovely. We arrived early at the hotel at 11am inspite of the check in time of 2pm they immediately processed everything as they gave us consideration because we are travelling with an infant, we are so lucky and did I mention we were given an upgrade! We were always looking forward to breakfast as the food is chef's kis. Location is amazing Pool is always cleaned and not crowded at all. The staffs are very attentive to your needs. Stanley Sarova is indeed a stort to tell and I highly recommend staying especially with family.
I highly recommend to stay on this hotel.
