Syktyvkar Hotel

“Solo stay”

I was in Syktyvkar for a week visiting assorted family and friends but didn't want to impose on anyone so booked a single room at this hotel.

I was in Syktyvkar for a week visiting assorted family and friends but didn't want to impose on anyone so booked a single room at this hotel. The room was clean and comfortable with a good bathroom and a balcony. It was very hot and humid (30°C/80%) during my visit but the room was cool and pleasant. Lots a power sockets in sensible places and a nice desk for working. A usable fridge, a kettle and tea/coffee and water supplied daily. There is a bar in the lobby and a cafe on the 3rd floor. Reception staff were friendly and helpful with some changes to my plans (I arrived a day late and left a day earlier to spend more time with family). Most signage in the hotel is Russian and English though I think spoken English by the staff may be a little weak. Not really a barrier though. I'd use this hotel again. If you are stumbling across this review by mistake and wonder where Syktyvkar is... well it's a charming city about 61°N on a river in a predominantly forested Komi republic. It was the time of Komi's 95th anniversary celebrations so quite buzzing.

“Good by Russian standards”

Ok, the downside: The staff don't speak English (but you're outside Moscow, right?) - the upside: it's a fairly good hotel in a safe location, reasonably priced and all the taxi drivers know it.

The breakfast buffet was pretty good too, and the staff recommended a good restaurant with the help of some hand gestures/translations. I'd stay again.

“so far so good”

The hotel is expensive compared with the standard,for example the bath rooms are tiny. I just wish the restaurant will keep the good kitchen. A long menu and not all is available, but what we have eaten so far, very delicious.

“ok for 1 night”

The hotel is typical Soviet-style - literally (it is built in 1980) and metaphorically (tiny single rooms, a relatively clean bathroom, no tablecloth on tables during the breakfast). I paid over $100 per night for a single room - it is NOT a fair price for such a place.
