Once again, they continue to admire one of my favorite cities, Veliky Novgorod. The descendants of Rurik, as always, were on top. We usually stay at the Akron boarding house, but in November we couldn't book a room and had to look for an alternative place. We stayed at the Rus Hotel. The price is approximately the same, but there are more advantages. First of all, the three of us traveled and booked a suite. There was a smell of sewage in the lobby at the entrance, but this is the trouble with all Soviet hotels, apparently the ventilation is not working, which immediately alerted. The receptionist kindly registered us, gave us electronic keys, told us everything in detail, and offered to have a meal at the restaurant. The second and final disadvantage is the lack of an elevator in the hotel, it was difficult for my mother to climb the stairs.The room is clean and beautiful, with a view of the village church. There were even terry dressing gowns and slippers, and of course all the soap accessories. The room is cozy, the furniture is new. The restaurant has very decent food, and the price is also quite affordable. In the morning, breakfast (included in the room rate) exceeded all expectations: very varied and delicious in a buffet style. There are coolers with hot and cold water in the halls. The main advantage of this hotel is its location. The hotel is located on the Volkhov embankment, the Kremlin is opposite, Yaroslavovo Gorodishche is one step away from the hotel. In the morning, bells can be heard everywhere. The staff is very friendly. A friend booked a double standard, the room is small, but clean and cozy, she liked it too. There is no musty smell in the rooms. I recommend this hotel, because for a small price we got comfort and a lot of positive emotions.
