* So-So Budget Russian Hotel *

Everything within 2 miles of here is called "Moscvich." First I thought the hotel was this tall building with a giant "Moscvich" sign at the top. It definitely was not the hotel though. Eventually we found it. And it was not easy at all.

There is air conditioning in the lobby. Hallways are a bit crappy. The nicest room I saw was 1302. It had two twin bedrooms, a nice den, a toilet room and a bathroom.

Room 701 has a master bedroom, a children's bedroom, a family room, and kitchen. I liked the kitchen; I hated the bathroom (too dark).

Room 702 has wood floors, 2 bedrooms, and a den. I thought the bathroom was a bit inadequate.

Prices range from 560 rubles to 6000 rubles. Cheap rooms are not going to be pretty.

Overall, this facility is so-so in my opinion.

A Few Cheap Renovated Rooms,
But The Location Is Poor

The average affluent traveller won't be joining you here, but they do have some good rooms. There is an Uzbekistani design influence in the lobby with an interesting wall decoration technique. The building was made in 1975 and has about 400 rooms. Originally it was a dormitory. Nobody speaks English here except at the "G & R Hostel" office on one of the upper floors. They rent out the worst of the hotel's rooms.

On the ground floor is a bar with a pool table. There are a couple security guards, plus I saw 2 other guys dressed in police uniforms just hanging out there looking extremely bored.

The hotel does have newly renovated rooms. All but one I thought were pretty good rooms.

Room 1527 goes for 1500 rubles (as of April 3, 2004) and I think it is a good value. This was my favorite room among those I saw.

Room 1511 has two rooms, goes for 3250 rubles and smells like somebody kept hamsters in there.

Room 1525 is a two room suite with twin beds - it's new and looks fine

Room 1506 goes for 2200 rubles and is not as nice as the others.

Renovated rooms are pretty good. But overall the facility is so-so and not that comfortable. It is still an old Russian hotel.
