This hotel changed recently of name and owner. When I saw the reviews below, I was afraid, but I needed a hotel close to the train station and this was the only available alternative. In fact, it's not such a bad hotel anymore. They offer expensive renovated rooms and normal priced "standard" rooms, which I booked. But for Russian standard,... More

The only good thing i can tell about this hotel is breakfast - it was ok. The rest was terrible. I arrived late at night (midnight) and had to stay 2 hours in the line for check in after that i was told that i'm lucky that i have a room, as the hotel is overbooked for 40 rooms (!!!!).... More

The hotel is the wrong side of the river from the rest of the city so is a cab or tram wide awy... More

I agree with the previous review about the level of service at this hotel. We arrived at 0430, having arrived at the hotel from an especially rough three day train trip from Irktusk. It was at least -25C, and dark, and we had our young daughter with us. At first we were refused a check-in even though our room was... More

This hotel fell into the 'ok for Russia' bracket. It seems to be selling itself at least partly as a business hotel but standards fell well short. When we arrived at 8am or something similar our rooms were ready but they wanted to charge extra to check in at that time.....ok not unheard of, but I always think this is... More
