Volga Riviera (Saratov): reviews
Saratov hotel has a good reputation. Its rating, in comparison with other accommodation options in this region, is above average and corresponds to an assessment of four points out of five possible.
The first thing that tourists who have visited it on vacation is noted is its excellent location. The city of Saratov is far and at the same time close, 15 km is easily covered by public transport or private car, so after 15-20 minutes you are either in the regional center with attractions and entertainment, or in a secluded corner of nature near the Volga. The river, according to travelers, is very close, you can walk to the beach in 10-15 minutes. The shore is well maintained, clean, but the infrastructure is not well developed. However, in this case, it is difficult to call it a minus, since people come here to rest in the traditional sense of the word.
On a solid four guests appreciate the level of service. The staff is polite, sympathetic to requests and wishes. Several travelers expressed the opinion that managers do not always have information about booking on third-party resources, and not on the official portal of the complex. Housekeeping at a decent level, regular.
All this allows us to conclude that the hotel is one of the best in its price segment, in it there is a harmonious ratio of cost and quality of service, level of comfort. An additional bonus is the possibility of celebrations, corporate parties, friendly parties, the organization of trophy fishing and an amazing cedar Russian bath.
