Отель «Art» — Hotel in Kazan

The Hotel Art is an easy 10-15 minute walk from the rail station and although situated on an unremarkable street, it is literally around the corner from the main downtown shopping and bar/restaurant pedestrian strip. It is also within walking distance of the Kazan Kremlin and other attractions.||||It took a while to check in, and the attitude of the staff at reception was rather distant, but the room itself was fine - clean, and everything worked - and it had a great view towards the back of one of Kazan's largest and most colourful churches.||||The staff warmed up slightly during our stay, well, the people in charge of the breakfast room had a smile or two in their repertoire. Breakfast was an interesting mix of whatever the kitchen had in stock, but was adequate.||||Overall, the hotel offered good value, and had not attempted to capitalise too much on the fact that the World Cup was in town - at least, we were able to get a decent rate, although booking several months in advance had probably helped.||||This is a property in a superb location with a clean and cool feel to it, and if the front of house staff were to up their game a little it would likely be a strong candidate for a...

Had a three night stay in Kazan at the Hotel Art during the Confederations Cup. It was ok and covered all the basics, but needs to add one or two things if it is to be a good base for foreign fans during the World Cup in 2018.||||It's one block away from the main area of Bauman Street, so a good spot, but there is an hourly charge for use of the spa and the only non-Russian TV channels -- out of 24 -- are an Italian channel and Fashion TV.||||No CNN, BBC World, Sky or anything which most tourist hotels in Russia next summer will need to have.||||The free wifi is good and works even on the higher floors and the breakfast is a decent buffet. However, there is bread, but no toaster.||||Overall, it is a good hotel, with a lack of amenities, and is certainly clean and well-located for tourists.||||But it just needs to add things here and there to make it a more suitable hotel for...
