AMAKS Tsentralnaya Hotel 

Because I read reviews from this site, I didn't expect much for my 6 nights stay. But when I signed in the hotel, the first impression was very positive. The staff was polite and helpful although I don't speak perfect russian. I was given a room at sixt (the top) floor. The floor was renovated and all though the room was small, it was cozy. It had everything I needed. At first the A/C of the room gave me some error codes. I checked the codes from the net and it seemed to have an conflict between the outter module and the inner module. So when I requested the A/C for cooling, it didn't work. So after the first night I asked for repair. It was only after second night when they actually corrected the problem. So I had two short nights, because after 6 it was impossible to continue sleeping, because of the trafic noise from outside an the sun starting to heat up the room. When the problem got corrected, it was very comfortable to sleep the rest of the nights. The windows are really good, so when they are closed, not too much noise comes to the room. Also I red complains about the corridor lightning and breakfast from this site. The corridor lightning is power saving, so it lights up as you walk the corridor further. So I didn't have any problems with it. Also in my opinnion the breakfast was good. Actually you can find much worse cases in many russian hotels. In my opinnion if you can't find anything to eat with that buffet board, it's actually your own fault. There was even two differend kind of porridge every day. Oatmeal porridge was every day, but the other porridge varied. Also there was also at least two different kind of salads, which also varied every day. And together with this there was a lot of other choises from hot dishes to bread, pastry, youghurt and so on. Also when I left the last morning very early, before the breakfast time, they provided me with a "lunch box", with apple, youghurt, pre-filled toast with cheese and ham, 0,5l of water, waffle and if I remember right, there was also a small juice jar. Maybe the only thing to complain besides the A/C problem would be that after the first night, they didn't clean my room. All other days they did. But actually this was OK with me, because the only thing to do there would have been to make my bed and empty the trash.
