We stayed at the hotel 3 different times during our tour in Kamchatka. The hotel is very tired and in desparate need of renovation. The staff at the front desk is friendly and speak English very well. They also accept credit card. The rate per night for us was 6800 ruble per night. We stayed on 3 different floors. The 5th floor room was the best followed by the second floor. The third floor was very tired and the TV was full of static. All of the channels were in Russian but we found 2 good channels just showing sports or MMA/boxing. The 2nd floor room actually had a tub/shower which was nice. The other 2 rooms were shower only. The water was hot and pressure was good. The beds are very tired. The restaurant serves the same breakfast every day but you can survive on the cheese, pooridge and fresh peppers. There is a supermarket and cash machine about 10 min walk. The hotel will rent you a towel to take camping for 600 ruble deposit that you will get back. This was very helpful. They will also store you luggage if needed. A very tired hotel indeed but you will not be spoiled for choice in Kamchatka. The wifi was decent but on occasion there password machine breaks down and we did experience the occasional power outage (no fault of the hotel of course). I would avoid lunch or dinner if you can. You are about 30 to 40 minutes from...
Read moreYou're probably staying here because this is where your tour company found you a bed - and that's OK !||||You need to know :||||While it's 7km from Lenin buses 1, 21 and 22 get you straight to the city centre (Lenin) for 25 r. They run very frequently.||The hotel restaurant has a great a la carte menu - if you are getting the cheap group supper menu think sbout spending more for something quite special (crab, scallops, salmon caviar, ..) but be careful with the wine.||Room size varies quite a bit (we stayed three times) but all rooms have fridge and wifi and a bathroom heater / towel rail that will dry a limited amount of laundry overnight. ||There's a good supermarket less than 5 minutes walk away (though crab, salmon and caviar is much much better at the fish market) and the one and only good restaurant close by (San Marino, a three minute walk) should be booked in advance.||||Other than that ... Don't expect too much. Cleaners and restaurant staff can be friendly if inefficient, not so sure about reception staff (yes, they're inefficient too. Photocopying every page in the same passport three times for three stays?). If you want to print boarding passes (not necessary by the way) you can for free at the...
Read moreA small hotel, preserved from the Soviet times, practically unchanged.| Those who settled in hotels 30 years ago will understand what this is about.| I'll start with the pros. Stunning views from above the 3rd floor if you booked the Volcano View Room.| Not a bad conference room for 50 people, but light isolation suffers if the presentation is with images, they are hard to see.| Medium sized room with comfortable double bed, bedside tables, but outlets far from the bed. In general, there are few outlets. There is no outlet for the hair dryer on the mirror.| There is a work area with a small refrigerator. There is also a kettle, there is a 0.5 bottle of water, there is no tea or coffee.| Cons: Awful bathroom with peeling oil paint floor, steel-framed shower tray. Soap, shampoo bag, toothbrush. 3 towels.| There are slippers and a safe in the closet.| On the 4th floor there is an ironing room with two boards.| Breakfast is poor - oatmeal, Sausage and cheese slicing, sausages, cucumbers, tomatoes, salads and delicious pastries.| Measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19: the requirement to scan the QR code, maintain social distance, wear a mask, employees in masks.| If the review was helpful to you,...
