Visotsky Hotel

Could not checkout evening before leaving

1. The view from the rooms and the restaurant on the city of Yekaterinburg is excellent and quite impressing. This already describes the most remarkable thing. 2. The restaurants in the 50th and 51st floor are priced in the middle sector and so far ok!

1. Access to the hotel is not easy to find. At the first visit it will be difficult for a foreigner without Russian language skills to come to the 37th floor where the reception is located. I myself had these problems, although I speak Russian and know the building from a former visit. With a lot of luggage - very tedious! 2. The rooms are ok. The furniture and design, however, reminds of the 90s of the last century. The doors to the corridor are very thin and let through most of the noise. The closing mechanisms of the room doors close loud and are clearly audible in the room. 3. The supply of 220V sockets is not sufficient for the conditions of today. The WIFI network is usable but not very fast. There were some problems with network GSM-reception for mobile phones. My accessibility for calls was limited. 4. The breakfast room is by no means a 5-star. Minimal furnished and uncomfortable. The breakfast buffet was also rather poor - certainly not 5 star. I found better buffets in 4-star hotels in Russia. However the very young staff was very friendly and helpful.
