what I mean bu Russian specific is that a handle on window was not working when we moved in, but they changed the room for us, Also there was some temporarily issues with hot water and the breakfast room was too busy. Inspite of all of the above I really enjoyed stay there, it's really comfortable and stuff is friendly. Consider it much better then Saint- George with it poshness and soviet services

This hotel is oriented for business people and traveling along Russian Golden Ring tourist. It is unique hotel in the town because there is the best restaurant of this town is situated at this hotel. When you try to invite your business partners or collegues for a dinner - they would always ask about visiting hotel's own restaurant. It is supperb!
I wish you try the meal at this reastourante! If you travel to Yaroslavl -stay here and you will be happy 100%!

The hotel is located somewhat centrally - half-way between railway terminal and downtown (15 min walk). To get there from the terminal you can take trolley number 1 to the Pl. Truda (Labour Sq.)

This is the only four star hotel in town. Keep in mind that the stars are given by the government tourist agency, so ratings tend to be pretty consistent. The best complimentary breakfast we had in Russia with all the standard Russian continental fare but greater variety.

It is kind of funny that the name does not mean anything, especially the way they arrange it in their logo: Rin-G Premier. I guess it is a remote reference to the Golden Ring of Russia, of which Yaroslavl is the crown jewel. Also interesting is that the hotel is owned by a tobacco company.

Room 301 was fairly large by North American standards (huge by European). The furniture was very plain with no decorations whatsoever, but very functional with a king size bed.

Best views are on the Ul Svobody (Freedom street), overlooking an old soviet garrison turned shopping mall and a tram yard turned restored monastery (our view). On the east side is a park and on the west McDonalds, which is very popular with local youth and can get very rowdy at night. Courtyard views overlook a parking lot and dilapidated residential blocks.

Towels were really thin, small and very few (certainly not worth stealing). They boast heated floors in the bathroom, but we never figured out how to work the control.
Powerful thermostat-controlled AC, but the output unit was under the window and hence behind the curtain (hmm?). The curtains were heavy enough to block out the light, especially considering outdoor lighting setup directly above the window. But curtains were virtually impossible to manoeuvre.

Technically the room was Smoking (they do not appear to have any non-smoking ones), but there was no smell.

WiFi is free but very weak - I could not catch it in the room room, but only in the elevator lobby.

Room service was inconsistent: one day they would re-arrange and fully replace our toiletries and provide more water, the next they would barely make the bed.

There is construction going on on Ul. Popedy (Victory St), past Mcdonalds, so it can get very noisy, even at night.

The hotel has a very good lacation. It is close to main historical monuments and close to the subway. Room is clean. Swing pool is open till 00:00!!!Staff is freindly and helfull.Slow service in the restaurant , we were waiting for 1 hour for our oder and my friend didn’t get what she ordered.
