Just down the road from the kremlin this hotel is on the high point in the city with views out to the river from the back. ||||We checked in here for three nights as part of our trans siberian journey to explore Kazan. ||||Our room 113 at the back of the hotel was huge with a big sofa and coffee table, plenty of room for our luggage. Everything was clean and comfy although all a bit old fashioned. ||For those with mobility issues this is not a viable choice. There is no lift and there are lots of stairs and changes in level. ||Wifi was not great here, you need to keep logging in. There are english language stations on the tv. ||||Its an easy stroll down the hill to the main pedestrian fare and down the road from the kremlin and the museum of tatarstan. There are plenty of restaurants close by as well. ||Breakfast is in a formal dining room and there is plenty of seating and food to go around. Food ok but three breakfasts were enough. ||||Reception is friendly and helpful. They will store your luggage after checkout if you need it. ||||The railway station is close by down the hill. We paid 300 rouble by taxi to get there and 110 by yandex...

Read moreI had the pleasure to stay for a whole week in this wonderful establishment. Mr. Giuseppe is a gallant and generous man who runs the hotel with a friendly and efficient staff. I loved the atmosphere of the place, the beautiful classic decoration, the spacious and clean room, the maintenance, the copious breakfast, the location. The reception attendants were all very friendly and helpful. They speak many languages and fluently. I do not remember all the names, but I would like to thank them all for making my stay such a pleasant one. Thank you Natasha and Gulshat for your excellent service. Thank you also Angelika in the breakfast room who is always ready to serve and to please everyone. Also the gentlemen who help with the suitcases are very kind. In short, this hotel is the place where I will stay when I return to Kazan. My whole week was a wonderful experience. I could walk everywhere, the ballet, the theater. The Dresden Opera ballet dancers were also staying at Giuseppe. It was a pleasure to meet them and to chat with them at breakfast. I saw other foreigners who return to Giuseppe hotel time after time. Bravo...
