Judging by the reviews, the wonderful work of the maids, the sympathetic reception staff, who quickly solve all the problems that arise, is another reason for wanting to return here more than once. The rooms are all amazingly beautiful and original. The plumbing works fine, the bed and towels are snow-white.

Immediately from the threshold is felt the spirit of the ancient Russian epic, and in expensive suites a person feels like a representative of some princely family. "Here is the Russian spirit ..." - wrote the poet, and this, judging by the reviews, feel and foreigners.

In general, the hotel is fully consistent with the stated price policy. Especially the hotel is convenient for living with children, who will definitely like the museum-theater.
