Welcome back to Soviet style Intourist gray all the way place! One night won't kill you but if you're there for more then that, search for a better place! Classic Soviet design, single bad, funny TV, empty mini bar and tough breakfast. Big hotel with many rooms, not all of them are covered with hotel's Wi-Fi so check your luck!

I stayed in the "economy" room and it was perfect for my trip. Location is right in the centre of town- walking distance to all major places and on main bus route as well. Price of room includes a nice buffet breakfast. If you don't like typical soviet style rooms, better choose a single or double. Cleaning staff were very efficient and usually 1 or 2 members of staff at reception speak enough English to get by, but better if you know a little Russian. I recomend going direct to hotel's website rather than through an online booking agency- you can save a lot of money. I would definately stay here again.

Bottom lines:

English speaking staff? Yes, some. English speakers won't have any trouble except with housecleaning staff

Clean? Yes

Internet? Yes, though a bit slow.

On site restaurant? Yes.

On site Hertz agency is a plus. I'd recommend this hotel, though I'm not sure if I'd recommend Rostov as a city.

I went and reserved the Studio suite which is fair price of 100 dollars per night. It might be steep for some but if you want a decent quality room this is the best bet to rent. If you plan on going for a small room your not going to enjoy your stay compared to some people. Anyway what's great about the hotel is the location. Its smacked in the center of town and you have access to everything. For anyone who wants some "company" right next to the hotel is a park which the prostitutes hang out during the evening. You get a complimentary breakfast which is included. The hotel is clean and has been renovated. For those thinking of the Raddison Hotel I was told its the best in town however I didn't like the location when I saw it by chance. Anyway Rostov Hotel is a decent hotel you can't go wrong staying there. Also if you plan to use a taxi from the airport to the hotel call the hotel to arrange one a fair price is 200-300 rubles anything more they are ripping you off.
