Oktyabrskaya Hotel

“Reliable spot away from the centre”

Large hotel out of the centre with all the trimmings of a standard business hotel. The rooms were large but lacked Aircon which would really improve this place. The location isn´t ideal, but the park next door is charming and I guess being away form the centre will reduce the noise and other undesirables. There are little trams that take you to the centre - once you understand the system it is quite easy. There was breakfast but we weren´t too enamoured with it, it all came out at once, so unless you were up early it was cold. There were cold items in the buffet - we tended to stick to those. The staff were helpful, trying their best with our limited Russian and their less than brilliant english, but someone trying is always going to be better than a fluent grump. The price was reasonable, not a bargain though. Heat the breakfast and add aircon to get 5 stars

“Comfy hotel”

Very pleasant hotel. A bit of a schlep out of the centre of town but you could get the tram. The park next door to the hotel was really nice for reading a book and whiling away a few hours.

Very pleasant hotel. A bit of a schlep out of the centre of town but you could get the tram. The park next door to the hotel was really nice for reading a book and whiling away a few hours. Reception staff were very helpful when we were trying to book taxis and activities - they all spoke English to a greater or lesser extent. Rooms pleasant, good standard of furnishings etc, but quite small. No air-con which did make it a bit hot. Breakfast would have been nice except the restaurant was cold (they did have air con in there - and it was up too high) and so the cooked food, which had no hot plate or anything to keep it warm, was also stone cold! Cold fried eggs - not to my taste I am afraid! Lovely hotel though. Would recommend if you don't mind being a bit out of the centre of town.

“Bon hôtel 3 étoiles pour les voyages d'affaires”

J'ai séjourné à l'hôtel à deux reprises oktyabrskaya (juillet 2006 et 2007 fév) pour un voyage d'affaires.

J'ai séjourné à l'hôtel à deux reprises oktyabrskaya (juillet 2006 et 2007 fév) pour un voyage d'affaires. Cet hôtel a été choisi par l'être société à laquelle je rendais visite car il est à proximité de leur bureau. Après avoir vécu en Russie au cours de ces deux dernières années, je ne savais pas trop à quoi m'attendre quand je revenais dans non-ouest marque hôtel mais le oktyabrskaya était plus adapté à ce dont j'avais besoin. Les chambres sont petites mais propres. Il faut savoir que le il n'y a pas la clim (en tous cas pas dans la chambre que j'ai occupée), donc pas difficile de dans ma chambre après 10 h du matin en été. Mais, l'hôtel se trouve une éternité en dehors du centre-ville, donc c'était assez calme pour dormir avec les fenêtres ouvertes la circulation est faisable pour arriver au centre ou à 8h du soir après 19h si vous avez envie de sortir pour dîner et des bars. Très peu où l'on pouvait aller à pied à moins qu'on sait où l'on va, qui parle assez russe. Il y a également un petit bar ouvert tard au 5e étage. Autre chose est l'ce problème de jeunes voyageurs non- accompagnés filles traînait au bar de beaucoup d'autres grands hôtels n'ont pas. Je pense qu'il est assez loin du centre de centre-ville pour éviter cela. Si vous cherchez un endroit où aller à courte distance à pied de les choses à voir dans le coin, l'hôtel ne se trouve pas oktyabrskaya pour vous. Cependant, si vous êtes à la recherche d'un hôtel calme pour dormir et se d'être retapés, c'est un très bon hôtel.

“Decent but frustrating staff! Nobody speaks english!”

Since Yekaterinburg was our third Russian city, we already figured that Russian people doesn’t speak a leak of english. But when it comes to a Hotel is even worse.

Since Yekaterinburg was our third Russian city, we already figured that Russian people doesn’t speak a leak of english. But when it comes to a Hotel is even worse. Putting that aside, the staff was always courteous and trying to serve as much possible and overcome the language barrier. The rooms are just like any other European 3-4 star hotel, small but very decent. They have laundry service which we needed desperately yesterday. The only bad side of this is that they knocked our door at 7am to give us back our clean clothes. Location is good, the bar is 24/7 i think. For a short stay is more than enough.
