Statskij Sovetnik

Staff was fantastic - really sweet and helpful. Breakfast was okay - not many healthy options were offered. The rooms (we were in 2) both turned out to be extremely clean.

The water temperature is constantly jumping from ice cold to boiling (i think it is a central water supply issue, but sure it could be fixed). Also, the rooms were hard to air because the air conditioner smelled like dust and the open windows hardly helped - climate outside created a feeling of a room filled with moisture. During our stay the renovation works took place and the whole hotel was stabbed through by the horrible sounds of drilling, metal wretching and more drilling. It lasted for very long and due to the rain outside, there was no escape. Later this discomfort was not compensated, though the staff was upset themselves.
