I had a wonderful stay at Grand Iska Hotel, enjoying the clean and new facilities, especially the spacious bathroom. However, the neighborhood felt a bit industrial, but it was just a short walk to a busier area where I felt safe. The breakfast could have been better, but it was decent enough for a good start to the day.
