This grand pink tuff building facing Republic Sq is a Soviet-era institution; rumour has it some rooms were bugged to spy on foreign diplomats. With the USSR in the rearview, the Marriott is a respectable hotel that's showing its age. The new swimming pool is commendable, but extra charges for breakfast (AMD7200 to AMD12,000) and wi-fi (per hour AMD1800) are frustrating.
