After reading the previous reviews of this hotel, I was a bit nervous about my upcoming stay, but my fears were groundless. The hotel was clean, and the staff helpful and courteous. My room, while small, was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Absolutely NO COMPLAINTS from me or any of my associates that were also staying there at the time. More

Having stayed at a number of hotels in Russia, thus far, on our trans-Siberian trip, I have purposely found a restaurant with an internet connection simply in order to write a review warning people from this dreadful hotel.

I know people like to knock hotels if they don't come up to expectations, but after reading reviews of this hotel i expected what i found, big hotel with lots of un-used rooms that were a tad shabby but never the less acceptable for me (someone who doesn't like to pay over the odds and see's the place as just...
