Delicious Meals

The dining experience was truly good, particularly the traditional Russian dishes served. The hearty meals reminded me of home-cooked food, especially the borscht and vegetable salads which were prepared with authentic flavors.

Comfortable Amenities

The amenities in the room were fantastic! The hot water machine for tea was a welcoming touch, and there was a fridge which was perfect for storing snacks. It's a little detail that made my stay even nicer.

Clean and Functional

The bathroom in my room was immaculate and featured high-quality plumbing. The pressure of the water in the shower was excellent, making every bath feel revitalizing and enjoyable. I could not have asked for a better setup.
