This is a three-star, going on four-star modern hotel, fairly recently built right opposite St Vladimir’s church. From a small foyer, access is via a lift to floors five – seven where the hotel is located above four levels of shops built around an atrium. The rooms are modern, clean and comfortable, the views vary from the atrium itself to the more usual street scenes. The restaurant and top floor bar are both pretty good, but my favourite feature is a multi-language cash machine in the foyer - Dostoevsky would not have approved.

I just returned from Dostoevsky, and I thought it made a great B&B, but for the price was a bit lacking. The reception staff were curt to say the least, though they couldn't organise a taxi, transfer or a plug for the sink! The breakfast was good, but that was because it couldn't get colder than it started out, the place [restaurant] is so badly organised that one waiter ran round all the tables and served everyone with cold plates of "hot" food, sometimes the plates arrived simaltaneously, more often there was a good 10 minutes between them. The 7th floor bar gets its food cooked in the restaurant kitchen so by the time it is collected on the trolley, sent up in the lift and served, the food is generally cold--and when told that the pork I had been served was bloody and raw, the best thing I could recieve was a shrug of the shoulders! A dining companion returned her cold meal and got nothing all evening ! The rooms however were well appointed and clean. Be warned this hotel seems to be stuck in a timewarp and has a very Soviet style attitude to customer service. NONE!
