Reviews
Rather, there is water in a small refrigerator, but for an additional fee (50 rubles). Also, when checking in, they asked for a certificate of vaccination, explained that this is a mandatory fact when registering. But if the answer was negative, the room was not refused.
There are only 2 glasses in the room, no plates, bottle openers, nothing. There is no kettle, but there is a cooler with hot and cold water on the landing. Poor soundproofing, neighbors talking in a calm tone. There is a door between the rooms, keep it closed. Things are bad with the drain in the bathroom of the room. Parking at the hotel, free.
Near the hotel there is an opportunity to ride a boat, the cost of 1 hour is 8000 rubles)))
Good breakfast. Courteous staff. Bright rooms. There is a bath. Of course, five stars are a lot, but higher than four is for sure 👍
Friendly service, quiet clean place. Staff is ready to help you. Breakfasts are excellent.
