I stayed in the cheapest room at $150 a night at the time. This cost includes a free buffett breakfast that is one of the best you will find. The buffett includes eggs, Russian pancakes, sausage, fruits, deli meats, tea, coffee, and juice. A great way to start the morning. Also included in the cost is free use of the spa sauna, jacuzzi, and pool until 10 AM. The pool has powerful jets that you can use to give yourself a massage basically. It did wonders to my back and shoulders. The room was large by Russian standards, with satalite TV and air conditioning. The bed was very comfortable. Facilities are very clean and the hotel is in a great location. You can walk to downtown in about 10 minutes. Staff speaks English and were very friendly. When you factor this in and the safety factor, I think this is a great deal for your vacation. Enjoy!
