Grand Zvezda Hotel

I stayed there for three nights in August. It was travelling for work. Zvezda (which means "star" in Russian, by the way) is situated in the very heart of Tver', on the central and pedestrian Tryokhsvyatskaya Street. This is a significant benefit; the flip side, however, is a tiny validated parking. It's always occupied yet it is impossible to reserve a place there in any form—either via the electronic booking system or at their counter. Meanwhile, payment for city parking is a snag because a corresponding computer software was scandalously unreliable and glitched often, so we were constantly depending on the hotel staff for assistance—who were very helpful, I should say. As to the property as such, I have no major complaints. I got the room I'd requested, which had the view of the backyard, was clean and modern, and had decent sound insulation. Some personal items I'd have liked to see were missing, but my requests were quickly met. They serve an open buffet breakfast offering a wide selection of foods. Everything was well-prepared and nicely arranged. The service was attentive and efficient. The Roof Bar at the top obviously employs an experienced chef too. I didn't use their sauna. So, I'd recommend that hotel to travellers. Albeit it's somewhat overpriced, to my mind.
