 | hotels and more
We take full advantage of a wide range of accommodation in all our destinations. On our group tours in Russia we utilise reasonable hotels, with the emphasis on adequate comfort and functionality rather than putting on the Ritz.
Surprisingly, hotel accommodation costs a lot of roubles, particularly in Moscow and St Petersburg. Moreover, the choice in provincial Russia is very, very limited. That said, we’ve done our homework and have chosen hotels that factor in comfort and traveller’s needs - such as proximity to local transport, restaurants, shops and attractions. We can’t always guarantee double beds (they’re rarer than hens teeth in many hotels in Russia); however, all hotel guest rooms offer en suite bathrooms, a television, sometimes a ‘fridge and more importantly, cooling or warmth. Many of our selected hotels offer a range of guest facilities such as a restaurant or somewhere to eat and sometimes additional facilities such as bars, shops and ATM machines. Some may even offer a nightclub, snooker facilities or casino.
NOTE: In Russia for group tours, on the go use 3 star accommodation as classified by the Russian Ministry of Tourism. However, please be aware that the 3 star standards throughout Russia vary greatly and cannot be compared to hotels of a similar standard in Western Europe or, and in particular, the United States.
