Oktyabrskaya Hotel

The environment is excellent. Most staff are good. One lady while I was checking out behaved a little rude as she was unable to communicate in English. She was hurrying to send me out to the taxi without understanding what my questions were though I used goggle translation. This made me forgot to return the door card. If she can be more hospitable, I could have time to say thank you to her. But her redness left a bad experience to me. It was the only bad thing.

The breakfast is minimal. More varieties are expected. Too much Russian sweet things. Not much choice.

This is not a new hotel, but it has been partly renovated. The windows and the heating system are quite old and need replacement and the corridor makes a dreary impression. But don't be discouraged by that: The rooms are big and have all that you can wish for. Comfortable beds, a good place to work and decent light. You really get a lot for your money!! Then add excellent parking and probably the best location in town. So if you are not dependent on luxury and expensive furniture, this is the hotel for you!

The shower cabin and the toilet should be on the list for renovation, but there is nothing wrong with it. It is just a bit tired... There is a large selection for breakfast, but you might wish a better quality of some of the products (sausage, bread...), but on the other hand, the yoghurt is superb.

The location, the hotel, staff attitude and breakfast are very good. If I visit the next time, I will prefer to stay in this hotel only.

The compound of the hotel may be illuminated more in the night

Very good

The staff of the Oktyabrskaya Hotel were extremely accommodating. I speak very little Russian but it did not matter because the receptionist were very easy to understand and always had answers or would find out the answers to my questions. The hotel was very clean and I always felt very safe. Its location is beautiful; a very scenic view of the Volga river, a short beautiful walk to the Kremlin and not much further to City Center.

The weather was beautiful, but a couple of nights it got a little warm. There was a nice size window in our room, but it had no screen. Luckily the bugs were not bad and the room also had a fan.
