Wood Design Hotel

The location is excellent. The room was quite OK considering the price.

Breakfast was very modest and one person at the reception was intolerable - rest of the personnel were quite nice. At arrival on the 6th of August 2019 the receptionist (a very nice one) told us, that we shall choose one of the three alternative breakfasts on the previous night. She said that we can also choose an exact time for the breakfast, but we do not have to, if we are ready to wait while it is being prepared. We arrived to the dining room about 5 minutest late, and our breakfasts were already half cold on the table. We were the only two persons in the dining room. We decided not to choose a time for the next morning. However, another person at the reception in the evening of the 7th of August 2019 said that we must. If we do not, WE SHALL EITHER EAT OUR BREAKFAST COLD OR WAIT FOR IT IN THE DINING ROOM FOR AT LEAST ON HOUR! She repeated it three times, because I obviously did not believe my ears. More than an hour to prepare two portions like this: take a little cup of oats porridge from the kettle, make a little and simple omelet, lay on the plate one little piece of bread and a little piece of butter, and take a cup of coffee from the machine. It does not take me more than a few minutes, though I am not much of a cook. We refused to have the breakfast although we had already paid for it, because we prefer to wake up on our holiday at a hotel when we feel like it. Instead we went to a shop, and had in our room a much better breakfast than was available in the canteen. I have stayed at cheap and expensive hotels in 20 Russian cities and towns, and this is the first hotel, where I never want to come back. Please do not think that this is typical of Russian hotels, because it is not.
