Best Eastern Volgograd Hotel: Next to the Grand Cafe
Satisfaction:
By Freiner on June 1, 2006
Business visit. The Hotel has Internet facility in the room and in the Business Center. Location is very convenient and you can walk in a few minutes time over to the Volgograd university, the River Volga and the Theater House is just opposite.
Around the Corner is the Grand Cafe, probably the most modern Cafe, Restaurant in Volgograd -with a real DJ. Coffee seelction is great and the quality is good. Recommended.
I stayed in this Hotel for 5 weeks. It has all the normal facilities you would expect. The internet connection in the Business Centre is not good, often no connection to the Net, best to go to the Post Office for Internet. Laundry list only in Russian. Good Security at the entrance. Rooms Clean, and Warm in winter. Rooms facing the front of hotel can be very noisey in Winter when they scrap the snow off the pavement at 6AM ! Rooms on 2nd floor, left hand wing have people walking past a lot so that they can reach the Bar/Cafe, Restaurant, Business centre etc. Can be noisey.
Probably the most secure in the city for your possessions. Ability to go to the 'Grand Pizza' and 'Grand Cafe' restaurants without leaving the building, a bonus in winter ! These restaurants being very popular to non hotel guests who have to enter from the pavement outside.
