Closer to the airport and to the Gorky Auto Plant rather than the historic centre, the hotel is reasonable value by Russian standards, and I found it to be clean and modern, with efficient service. Rooms are a bit functional, but perfectly good enough for a business trip: the free in-room wi-fi worked well. One shortcoming (that I also noted... More

I stayed for two nights on a business trip, arriving late on the first evening, leaving early morning. As the hotel was booked for me, I cannot say too much about that process. I don't know if a non-smoker's room was an offered option but I ended up with not my preference - a smoker's room. While the lady at... More

Hotel Volna is a perfectly serviceable place to stay: clean, reasonable, very helpful staff -- and the building has some historic interest, too, as an example of Soviet modernist architecture from the 1930s (don't worry, though: it has been renovated, although in the 1990s).

Very good service and nice stay in this hotel! We got perfect cooperation by all the staff of the hotel. Specially housekeeping staff is good, they are performing their duties in a systematic manner. All departments are very kind, professional and always helpful. Good luck & Keep it up!

Comfortable and modern hotel with pleasant English speaking staff. Rooms are nice and very clean with fairly standard for a business hotel including comfortable bed, bathroom, satelite TV, mini-bar, Wi-Fi and so on. Buffet breakfast is worth trying. They offer a wide choice of conference facilities (equipped conference halls with restaurant service). Food in restaurant and bars is excellent especially... More

...so it has to be pretty good was my thought. The hotel is very modern and suited more to business than leisure travel. The restaurant is good and stays open very late which is great. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. It is not located in the heart of the city rather it is about a 20... More

After spending a week at the now-torn down Hotel Intourist in Moscow (where I still hadn't figured out how the toilet worked), the Hotel Volna was like a breath of fresh air. The original hotel had been renovated by Croatian investors and workers, and an addition of a tower was added to the old building. The rooms were clean and... More

I had heard some horror stories about Russian hotels, so searched for one offering european standards. This hotel is perfectly acceptable. Rooms lack the modern flair of a european hotel, but if you only intend to sleep there what does it matter. The hotel is very clean and the decor in good order. The rest of the hotel is different...
