Saban Deluxe

Top choice in Lviv


This superb guesthouse 3km north of pl Rynok is an eclectic mix of old and new, 21st century and antique, jumble sale and IKEA all rolled into one. All rooms are completely different, the owner is particularly helpful and the location isn't as inconvenient as it may seem (buses run from nearby). Full board available.
