Akvarel Stoleshnikov

The location is perfect - right in the city center but on a quiet pedestrian street with lots of boutiques and restaurants in the vicinity. Just 10 minutes walk from the Red Square. Perfect. The staff is very welcoming and professional. The hotel occupies the historic building just after the renovation, they did a very stylish design, rooms are clean and perfect. Nice boutique atmosphere. Excellent hair dryers in the rooms (sometimes they can be an issue even in the best of hotels).

The bed was not very convenient - the king-size bed is made of two mattresses and the connection between them is too weak. Your back feels the gap and it hurts. The bathroom in the standard room is too small even for a slim person (about 5 sq.m.?). You are literally bumping your elbows in there all the time. The sink has no borders to put on the toiletries and the water leaves too slowly (the designer trap accumulates air which blocks the water). The shower has just a small plate for a piece of soap, you need to put your shampoos on the floor, and the designer shower cap is too heavy for a holder and your hand.
