R&R Hotel

Good location

Room a bit tight

Location is great. Staff as well - Alexander was a very polite and helpful manager

The location is exceptional, 7 min walk from the Square of the Republic. The staff is very friendly and helpful, speaks English and Russian and is always smiling. I stayed in the room #2 on the elevated (5 steps up from the street level) ground floor. High speed WiFi works flawlessly. Tea, coffee and sugar are replenished daily. Minibar is a spacious one, so I used it to keep my own food refrigerated. The hotel doesn't have catering option, only a coffee machine, but 20 meters from the entrance there is a popular cafeteria Art Lunch with a very wide and inexpensive selection of food. Plus I ordered food deliveries by Yandex Go and Glovo mobile applications. Usually a delivery takes 15-20 minutes and is really inexpensive, less than $2 dollars. And of course nearby there are many cafes and restaurants, including the ones with top ratings.

Some of the rooms reached by a steep staircase down are in the basement with window opening into a well, not convenient. Others are on the ground floor with windows to a busy street and could be noisy. So make sure you order a room that suits you, though it may be a bit more expensive.

Location is in the city centre and the staff was very friendly

The smell of canalisation was crucifying.
