“Fare price, fare service”

I liked to stay for business trip. Good breakfast, normal price, but small single rooms, a herritage from soviet times I guess. No problem faced with room availability. No breakfast exists. Small lobby, slmost no small place for socialization.

“Reliable home base in Tyumen”

My husband and I stayed at the Vostok Hotel during a two day break from the Trans Siberian Railway. We chose it after fleeing a horrible Airbnb room that wasn't as advertised.

My husband and I stayed at the Vostok Hotel during a two day break from the Trans Siberian Railway. We chose it after fleeing a horrible Airbnb room that wasn't as advertised. The Vostok appeared to be the best option at the mid-range price point we were looking for. PROPERTY: Great central location. The disco light show outside in the evenings is pretty amusing but once inside, the lobby and bar areas are modern and clean. The room wasn't luxe, but tidy and adequate for the price with reliable wifi. We opted out of the breakfast (which cost extra) so I can't speak to that. One downside was that a gym was advertised as part of the property but that wasn't totally accurate. It's actually a privately operated business connected to the hotel and it wasn't open during our stay. Disappointing. We ended up going for a jog by the river across town instead. SERVICE: Friendly and helpful. Staff spoke English which was greatly appreciated. We also loved that the Vostok had a flexible late check-out policy. We had a night train to catch at 11pm and the hotel let us pay a reasonable half-day rate to extend our stay until 9pm the day of check out. Super helpful for travelers or business people. All in all it's a pleasant, affordable option.

“Vostock, but not the spaceship.”

This is a pretty good Hotel, I've been all over Russia and this is probably the best hotel I've stayed in so far.

This is a pretty good Hotel, I've been all over Russia and this is probably the best hotel I've stayed in so far. The room was big, the bed was OK and the free Wi-Fi was superb but the bathroom was very poor with a small wash basin and very poor plumbing to the shower, with the water constantly changing temperature. It was kept very clean though. The Bar / Restuarant was also very good with a buffet on every evening and a bar menu available also. The reception staff were very good and spoke excellent English, all in all a very good Hotel.

“More than decent, pleasant”

I stayed at Vostok Hotel for one week, and I was quite satisfied in spite of a few minimal inconveniences, unavoidable in the non-touristic parts of Russia.

I stayed at Vostok Hotel for one week, and I was quite satisfied in spite of a few minimal inconveniences, unavoidable in the non-touristic parts of Russia. Check-in was easy and efficient by English-speaking employees. My room, overlooking Republic Ave from the 8th floor, was large enough, with a good desk. Excellent ("large single") bed but small bathroom with unpractical shower: no handle and gliding down soap-box. I had to make in my room an extensive use of the wi-fi: connections were rather unstable for two days but, before I complained, everything went all right. My room was very clean and well kept clean by silent (= non English speaking) persons. Sound insulation was good, as I was never bothered by my neighbours. Check-out easy. I often used the hotel restaurant called "V-Cafe": every day for breakfast, twice for lunch and six times for dinner (sometimes with guests). Menu, although invariable, was long enough not to bore me.Yet I doubt that I would have said the same afer a second week. Fortunately, I would have found some other restaurants in the City. I was able to walk around the hotel through some nice small parks and, a bit futher, a shopping area. I shall certainly consider to return to the Vostok Hotel if I visit again Tyumen.

“SIBERIAN EXPERIENCE”

Arriving in Tyumen, West Siberia, minus 15°C with Aeroflot not delivering your suitcase, was quite an experience... The Vostok hotel is well located in the middle of town.

Arriving in Tyumen, West Siberia, minus 15°C with Aeroflot not delivering your suitcase, was quite an experience... The Vostok hotel is well located in the middle of town. Rooms are recently refurbished but still quite basic, as is the restaurant and bar. What you need to survive the Siberian cold, is there, but nothing more. There are better places to stay in Tyumen. I had a very fine experience at the Best Western downtown. Wifi is available but quite poor quality is some parts of the hotel.
