hotel, restaurant Europe — Hotel in Kazan

I was very pleased with this hotel. Stayed there on a recommendation of a local. ||Location is really nice - right in the center of the city, few steps away from underground, shopping, and restaurants. Lobby is small, but efficient, as there are not so many rooms there. My room was nice and cozy. Smaller than what I'm used to, but still felt like plenty of space. Stayed in the corner room which offered double windows. ||Breakfast is very limited, but still filling. Espresso machine was broken one day out of my 6 day stay. Missed the omelet bar, but I guess it's not yet a standard for Kazan hotels. I frequented the restaurant for lunch and dinner as well, as I found the prices to be affordable, food delicious, and the environment very pleasing. One negative: the menu lists A LOT of dishes, but only has a handful options available. I tried to order 3 different things once only to find out none of them were available that day.||Enjoyed having a smoking balcony on each floor as well. ||My wishes for improvement: more choices for the breakfast menu, REWRITE your restaurant menu to reflect items that ARE available, and offer some sort of points for...

Hotel is on the main pedestrian mall so you have to walk from the street behind with your luggage to get to the front of the hotel. We arrived late in the evening so it was very quiet. The sleeping area was small with an unnecessarily large wardrobe taking up a lot of the space, leaving no where to put your suitcase. The bathroom was of a good size with only a shower which you had to step up into. The curtains are not blackout and in the summer it gets light very early, around 4am. In a double room we had only been supplied with one towel and one hand towel, so at 10.30pm I had to wander back down to reception to ask for another towel. I also had to ask for two pillow slips as the spare pillows didn't have any and the pillows on the bed were less than 3cm high. In saying that the bed was very comfy. The room was clean and quiet and we had a good sleep until the sun came up. Breakfast was very disappointing with limited choices. A small two slice toaster to toast packaged bread that had been cut in half, the only eggs available were boiled. Not...
