"We stayed at that Novotel for five nights in September as individual tourists (we came to Arkhangelsk by car from Moscow). Three of us. Two standard rooms had been booked two weeks in advance by phone (no prepayment!). The check-in was a tad messy since it appeared that our rooms had no river views. We paid for an upgrade and got ones with a view, but it was so cold inside that an A/C was useless. We asked for another room change. No problem, they said; just pay for an upgrade again. What the hell, folks?! Thanks to God, the issue was solved to our convenience, and further on, our stay was really smooth. The rooms were large, with guest WCs; they faced the river (what sunsets, Jesus Christ!), were well-equipped, and daily cleaned. The guys at the reception were helpful, attentive, and wore real, natural smiles (I mean it! chain hotels' staff usually wear face masks). Open buffet breakfasts were copious, diverse, and quickly replenished. They're served in a hall facing the harbour. We liked their Reka restaurant in the evenings too (see my separate review). They do not offer porter service, but there was always someone to help us with our luggage. Free, validated, guarded, round-the-clock, open-air parking behind a boom bar could accommodate at least twenty cars. To cut a long story short, recommended. (There's no swimming pool in there, however, just a sauna.)"

"Good hotel, in convenient location. Can breakfast if desired"

"Everything is clean, the staff is polite, I liked it here"

"In my opinion the best hotel Arkhangelsk to date, modern and stylish, all necessary in the room is, ah yes, catches a table lamp - it is sad, no one on the whole hotel, at the previous stay in this hotel, I have already paid attention to it. There is a restaurant with an interesting concept of dishes, and breakfast is served."

"The hotel is located in step-by-step access from public transport stop, the North Dvina embankment and about 10 minutes walk to the city's central streets. There is a grocery store, a bakery, a couple of cafes, a small shopping center nearby. The staff will learn about the scheduled arrival time on the eve and, if possible, prepare a room for this time (without an early settlement allowance). When booking, you can order a late departure for the supplement. The hotel is located in a new house, on a closed territory. On the territory quiet and clean. The hotel is also clean: guests wear bahili + regular cleaning. There are all necessary for comfortable accommodation: refrigerator, tea set, fan, slippers, etc. The staff are friendly and benign. The breakfast time and menu is discussed the day before, so there is no pillar in the kitchen, food is served by time. Every time the order is given a small complement, which is also pleasant. Only good impressions remain about stay, the hotel will now recommend to anyone who plans to visit Archangelsk."

"The suite is very good, the size is right, clean, the hotel is in a good location, close to the river, the temperature is low recently, the river has been frozen, the suite includes breakfast and dinner, dinner is very good"
