Best Eastern Versailles Vladivostok

The price could be better, but the location makes it worth it.

The only thing really important about this hotel is the location.

Certainly more charm and style than Hyundai (except for their excellent Pacific Sky Bar) and superior location.

Versailles hotel is the perfect combination of prime location, nice rooms and reasonable pricing.

The Deluxe suite is 10,000 rubles a night (about $400) and other than a flat screen TV the rooms are tired and worn out.

Our bedroom had a brightly lit sign right outside our window so our room was bathed in light all night long.

The rooms are clean, the beds comfortable, and feature BBC and Supersports 3 in English for those interested.

The bed should be a proper bed, not a single mattress cot affair.

No rolling table either (not even a tray) so you get to eat everything on your dresser or bed on plates that are delivered - an individual delivery person will carry two plates.

No room service for breakfast, you have to go to the restaurant to eat.

The hotel restaurant has a very poor menu for dinner, and the cold buffet breakfast is extremely stark although nice to try at least once just to enjoy the decor (large chandeliers, very elegant old style).

Avoid the hotel for meals - Studio Coffee just down the street has a much better breakfast in a lively atomosphere for a better price.

Studio Cafe is also just down the street (indoor and outdoor cafe with an upstairs restaurant) and down the other way is the Fokina arbat area with shops and more cafe's.

Beautifully restored elegant building and the small supermarket across the street is handy.

Good laundry service at reasonable prices, laundry maids are great - they are very accomodating and helpful, the rooms are clean.

The staff is helpful and the maids are great.

This hotel suffers from poor management, or rather, it suffers from an antiquated concept of what hotel service should be.

They charge high prices but their service and amentities are so far below comparable expectation that you will leave with a sense of having just been totally and utterly ripped off.

They have renovated the lobby recently and it does look nicer than it did when I was here a few years ago.

The lobby really is nice though, I loved it.

No porter for your luggage and the elevators are very small so that is a bit of a fiasco.

The rooms could at least have new (or clean) carpet.
