Hotel Sergievskaya - Nizhny Novgorod

The hotel options in Nizhny Novgorod are extremely limited. We really only had three hotel choices: one close to the train station, one close to the Kremlin, and one in between. Emily kept asking me which one we should stay in, because they were all similar in price. After some discussion, we decided (I decided), we should stay in the one that was in between the train station and the Kremlin. Emily replied, “Yay! That's the one with the pretty rooms!” The rooms are indeed very pretty.

Pretty.

Online, you see pictures of blue rooms and pink rooms. I thought those were two different rooms. It turns out that the pink room is the bedroom and the blue room is the dining room/sitting room. The room was our most expensive to date by far, 4100 roubles (just over $100), but it was totally worth it. The hotel only has about six rooms, but the service is excellent, and the rooms are well taken care of. The bathroom has a bathtub and heated floors. The hot water takes a while to get going, but stays a nice temperature and never gets to scalding temperatures. The bedroom has down pillows and blankets, and the bed is extremely comfortable. We both said that we got some of the best sleep we've had on the trip. Of course, wi-fi is available throughout the hotel.

In the morning, breakfast was served in our room. Emily got sausages and I got fried eggs. Breakfast included orange juice, tea, yogurt, and a bread basket. It was very good. We highly recommend staying at this hotel if you don't mind spending a little extra. I'm pretty sure it will be one of our favorite hotels from this trip.

Our wonderful breakfast spread. And Emily.
