Traveling to Russia? Find Republic of Bashkortostan hotels

I paid for the room in advance via Agoda but staff here insist that they do not have policy to charge in advance. It's late night already but they don't allow me to check in if I don't pay in cash. Also night shift staff are less experiences. They hold me for almost an hour and try to call to their manager if there is such thing like a "payment in advance via Agoda" which the manager didn't answer the phone as it's around 11PM already. I have to call Agoda call center and ask them to talk with hotel staff which cost my phone bill almost 30USD. Anyway she still need cash to let me check in and she will ask her manager in the morning then return the money to me in another day. After she find out that she knows nothing about this system she return me the money in the morning but not even say sorry for what happen. I've stayed in Azimut, Vladivostok before but staffs there are far more helpful and friendly.

The Hotel is located in a very nice area facing the river side, something that you can consider for a romantic night. What I like is that the room was tidy and clean. What I didn't like was that the room didn't have a bathtub, they only have towels an ropes for one person and we had to ask them to bring more. Also the minibar was completely empty, it only has one note saying 'if yo want to buy some soft drinks or more, please go to buy at the shop in the reception" ummm...

Great hostel. The staff makes it a place to be. Very helpful all hours of day and night. Location is well placed. It is a quite side street with all you need a 2 min walk away. 10 min walk and you are at a huge mall and a major bus stop. Rooms are clean. Beds are comfortable. With outlets right next to the bed (very rare in Russia. Kitchen is fully stocked. Has everything you need. Just a few cons: Showers are a bit wobbly, doesn't effect the shower, but a bit weird. Not all beds have privacy curtains. Over all amazing place to stay. Was a great positive surprise!!!!!!
