Author Boutique Hotel

Wonderful hotel! Very nice atmosphere of friendliness. Very quiet and clean rooms. Breakfast was my favorite - a lot of choices of Russian breakfast dishes including crepes, caviar, fruits, coffee and tea. I highly recommend this hotel to visitors of this beautiful city!

We had the junior suite for a night and were impressed with the overall size and layout of the room. The decorations are beautiful and look expensive, as you can see throughout the rest of the hotel. Complimentary waters were also appreciated. The only downside was that the hot tub couldn't be used because, after I filled it, I noticed that it was very, very dirty. I called the reception and was told to just wait a bit for it to clean up. Even after draining it, the dirt was stuck to the tub. It would be 5 stars if it wasn't for that.

Arthur Boutique hotel is not centrally located, you have to take cabs everywhere! The hotel rooms are much smaller than what it shows on the photos. We got a room which had a tiny prison looking windows with rusted metal bars, very depressing View! We complained about the room and they kept going back-and-forth between one room and the other and gave us a choice of a room that overlooked a roof And again with metal bars covering the windows. Bathroom does not fit more than one person at a time. Presumably Credit card terminal didn’t work the entire four days we were there and they wanted to collect cash which is very sketchy. We will not be coming back. I am not sure how they are a 5 star hotel. I would give them 3 stars and based on my overall experience 2 out of 5.
