Park Inn Veliky Novgorod

The standard rooms are pretty spacious, unlike most Park Inns. Room was clean and comfortable enough. Water is provided in the room and also in a cooler on every floor. Breakfast was ok, we liked the concept of "take away" coffee and fruits. The staff is nice and friendly. Wifi was good. Good value for money (we payed ~90USD per room/night). We tried all 4 star hotels in Novgorod, and despite the minuses, this one l consider the best.

Location is 1.5km away from center (but the area is nice). When booking in summer, mind that standard and business rooms do not have airconditioner (junior suites and suites do). Hot weather is pretty rare, but still, this is a little unexpected in 4 stars. Spa zone is so-so (would be a dissappointment if was not free) and standard and business rooms guests are allowed for free only during 8.00am-12.00pm (junior suites and suites- all day long), which is not clear when you book your accommodation. Free parking zone is pretty limited, and if you want to park in payed zone, they do not let you in until you pay at reception, not having the anwer where you are supposed to leave your car to go pay - this process should change to first park and then pay at check in or check out. Rooms are pretty dated- renovation is needed (halls and restaurant are already renovated). When you are having breakfast, nobody is cleaning the table from dishes- not very comfortable, if you are 4, and the table is not so big...
