“Lucky Once Again”

I could have picked any of the many hotels in Ivanovo. It was a new city to me but once again the times of being lucky in my travels I chose the SOYUZ HOTEL. The standards they have in this establishment match any I have experienced in my travels in the five continents I have taken time in over the past thirty years. I also highly rate the restaurants at the hotel - food is very well cooked with flair and imagination and within a very reasonable prices. However at this hotel unlike any I have used Soyuz has a secret that takes the hotel above average in my view. I am referring to the staff- from a professional point , I spent some time in HR International Management, they have been carefully trained with an international clientell in mind. I know four words of Russian none of which are useful except perhaps `da`. My particular reference is to the front of house staff at reception in several locations. Pleasant,friendly and a warmness always ready to produce an English speaker to deal with the niggling problems a stranger has in a strange city. Thank you girls you have a friend for life, thank you Soyuz you have a friend who will be back.

“Pleasant stay”

New hotel near city center. Very helpful kind girls at the reception, most of them speaking English. Room is comfortable, clean, well equipped. Breakfast is average, good juices, coffee machine.

New hotel near city center. Very helpful kind girls at the reception, most of them speaking English. Room is comfortable, clean, well equipped. Breakfast is average, good juices, coffee machine. I recommend the cottage cheese. Net works only if you have a Russian phone to receive the code in text message. Or if you ask the receptionist and she gives you a special password... Good business hotel with good restaurant.

“Good hotel for a fair price”

Good 3-star hotel in the heart of the city, overlooking the Uvod river. Although not "fancy", our room was clean and spacious with the most comfortable bed ever.

Good 3-star hotel in the heart of the city, overlooking the Uvod river. Although not "fancy", our room was clean and spacious with the most comfortable bed ever. The bathroom was also clean and equipped with a modern shower stall. In spite of the outer temperature (-25/-30° C!!) the room was always pleasantly warm. The bill was not pricey at all (as I had assumed from some of the reviews): we spent the equivalent of 80 euro per night (breakfast included). Last but not least, on the opposite side of the river there is a huge shopping mall where it was nice to get lost for a whole afternoon. Of course, it was not all roses: the breakfast was very... Russian. Sausages, vegetables, potatoes. My husband loved it. But if you like a more "Continental" breakfast (bread, butter, pastries), like me, you'd better wait to be back home. It was the first breakfast buffet in my whole life as a traveler that offered no marmalade! I had coffee and a cinnamon swirls which was at least two-day old. Also, if you are used - as we are - to sleep in complete darkness, you will have a hard time to fall asleep as the huge windows are provided with curtains but no shutters of any sort. But in spite of that, I would recommend the Soyuz: we felt really cozy in our room like... two groundhogs in their nest!
