If you are looking for some unique experience in Siberia, you might surely want to consider Versailles. Perhaps this could be the place if you want to experience something Russian - its style and architecture. It is located in the very good corner of the city centre with lots of dining options around. All receptionists I encountered during my 3 nights stay including late night were able to communicate in English and helpful, which was great. Room size is quite acceptable but the single bed was quite small, which is typical. However, the high ceiling helped quite bit to feel the room spacious.

We stayed one night. The trip to the airport is long and difficult with road works. Double room was clean and spacious but breakfast was pretty basic and they were slow to resupply items which ran out. Quite expensive. Reception desk lacks charm and incredibly bureaucratic - we arrived tired and worn out at midnight but had difficulty checking in despite a booking and prepaid voucher - they were concerned that we could not prove where we had been registered the previous night as we had been aboard a ship.

Stayed 7+ times since 2002. Very good in general, just make sure that you ask for a double room - they are much more spacious. Several good restaurants within walking distance, including Seven Samurai. Good staff, attentive - same people working for many years, nice, etc. But remember: although very experienced internationally, I am still a local Russian (Moscow), so a lot may be easier for me. NOTE like all good hotels at the Russian far east, they have smaller basins, etc - tailored for somewhat shorter Asian customers.

My first choice in Vladivostok, I do not like "monstro factories" like Hyundai.

I spend 6 nights in this hotel (05/24/10 to 05/30/10) :
The only positiv aspect is the location for the rest :
- price of the room quite hight regarding to the quality of the room
- I arrived at 11 o'clock am the first day to make the check in and they oblige me to pay for another night (but they did not tell me that when I arrived)
- people unpolite at the reception
- poor breakfast
- the water of the mini bar was outdated (3 months)
