Unfortunately, you won't have a choice when you come to stay at the best hotel in town.
I'll start with the pros:
+ The guys who open the doors, greet you upon arrival and close the doors to the old elevator are the best employees in the hotel.
+ The most beautiful lobby-living room in my life. Such an old-money flair, furniture and decor in the Ralph Lauren style, fresh flowers, very stylish.
+ In the evenings a pianist plays the piano. I couldn’t refuse him tea after he performed Moscow Evenings and A Million Scarlet Roses.
+ Great location, but nothing to do outside. At best, go to a restaurant.
Minuses:
- The hotel is old (it’s over 100 years old), the rooms are antique-style, but they’ve really aged, everything looks tired.
“I haven’t seen worse breakfasts in a long time.” Mangoes in Perekrestok are 3 times softer and 5 times tastier. Although they said that this is their national fruit.
- To get coffee, you need to ask 2-3 times. Checked for 2 breakfasts in a row.
- Shampoo, shower gel and body lotion in large bottles, not small disposable ones. They make excuses that they are a plastic-free hotel, but you and I know that disposable aluminum bottles were invented a long time ago. So they just save money.
- You don’t even have to go to the pool. They don't clean up after guests, and the waiters carry cola for about 10 minutes.
- The manager (French) never came to ask how we were relaxing. And I had something to tell him.
- Prices in the bar are exorbitant. A Singapore sling costs 18 bucks, but it gets ruined when they put natural noodles in instead of a tube. They fight against plastic, but I suffer. Although we all know that metal straws can be given. By the way, it’s impossible to drink the water - they filter it and pour it into reusable glass bottles.
Advice. If you are traveling for the first time and the hotel price is below $250, then take it - it will be fine. If it's more, it's not worth it.
