Luxury Russian Apartment: Cozy Chic You Won't Believe! - My Unfiltered Take (Warning: May Contain Squealing)
Okay, so let's talk about this place. "Luxury Russian Apartment: Cozy Chic You Won't Believe!" Sounds… grand, right? My first thought was, "Am I really fancy enough for this?" And frankly, after my experience… YES. Absolutely yes. Buckle up, because I'm about to spill all the tea (and probably some complimentary Russian vodka).
Accessibility (and My Panic About Stairs)
Alright, listen, I'm not a pro on accessibility, but the website promises it. Facilities for disabled guests is definitely listed, but I didn't notice any specific call-outs about, say, a wheelchair ramp near the entrance. The Elevator is a godsend since I am not used to a lot of walking, though. I would suggest calling ahead to make sure everything is indeed PERFECTLY accessible if that's a serious concern. However, the fact that they have one is a HUGE plus in my book because, you know, I'm not exactly a mountain goat and prefer my journeys upward to be done at the touch of a button.
Cleanliness and Safety - Did I Mention I'm a Germaphobe?
Anti-viral cleaning products? Daily disinfection in common areas? Rooms sanitized between stays? My inner germaphobe did a little happy dance. Seriously, after the year we've had, this is HUGE. They even have Room sanitization opt-out available – a bonus for the eco-conscious (though I'm opting IN, baby!). Hand sanitizer everywhere and Individual-wrapped food options – these are the details that make a difference. I felt genuinely safe. Staff trained in safety protocol looked confident, and there were fire extinguishers and smoke alarms galore. I felt safe; it felt like those pesky germs barely had a chance. Another huge plus is the Cashless payment service, and their Safe dining setup.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Send Help (and the Blini!)
Okay, this is where things get… delicious. The Breakfast [buffet] was, forgive my cliché, truly a spread fit for royalty. Asian breakfast? Western breakfast? Check and check. A la carte in restaurant? Restaurants on site? Oh yes! Expect international and western cuisine. I sampled both. I might have had the Vegetarian restaurant fare. The blini with caviar? Mouth. Watering. The Coffee shop and Poolside bar meant I needed a nap immediately afterward. The Happy hour was a good time to unwind. The Bar served up some seriously amazing cocktails at affordable prices also, which is hard to find nowadays. The Bottle of water they leave you is also a nice touch, and the Snack bar is crucial when you're constantly hungry like I am. My only regret? Not trying the Desserts in restaurant more. I'm already planning my return to rectify that. Plus, the Room service [24-hour]… I may have ordered a midnight snack. Don't judge.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax - Hello, Spa Day!
This place is a haven for relaxation. Forget just relaxing, if you want to go all out, you can. Spa/sauna are available, with features you all need, like a Pool with view. The Steamroom was the perfect way to kick off a visit, plus it also offers a Foot bath. After that, my body craved some pampering, and the Massage was pure bliss. A Body scrub and Body wrap? Don’t mind if I do!
They offer a Fitness center, so I pretended to work out for like, five minutes. Gym/fitness has everything you can expect, so if you are a person that loves to workout on vacation, then this is the place to be.
Services and Conveniences - They Thought of EVERYTHING!
Seriously, this place is like a Swiss Army Knife of hospitality. Daily housekeeping keeps everything spotless. Concierge service was invaluable for navigating the city. I have Daily housekeeping is amazing, seriously. Laundry service, Dry cleaning, and Ironing service? Check, check, and check. The Front desk [24-hour] staff were always friendly and helpful and really took care of everything. The Currency exchange and Cash withdrawal facilities were super convenient. They also offer a Gift/souvenir shop, which is dangerous for someone like me who loves to buy anything nice. Luggage storage is a great convenience as well.
For the Kids - Family Fun, I Guess?
I don't have kids. However, the Babysitting service and Kids facilities seemed pretty solid for anyone travelling with children. Family/child friendly is listed, so this looks like a perfect option for families!
Available in All Rooms - My Personal Shangri-La
Okay, the rooms themselves are a dream. You have to be aware that the Non-smoking rooms is quite common. They feature Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens. Wow.
The bed was a cloud. The bathrobes were fluffy. And the complimentary tea? Perfect for winding down after a long day of… well, whatever you want to do! The Free Wi-Fi was a lifesaver, especially with my constant need to post EVERY SINGLE UPDATE on social media. Plus, the Internet access – wireless was easy to connect to.
Getting Around - Easier Than Expected
Airport transfer? Yes, please! Car park [free of charge]? Amazing. They really make getting around Moscow a breeze. There's also a Taxi service if you want to be pampered.
Location, Location, Location?
I’m not giving away exactly where it is, because that ruins the mystery, but let's just say it's in a prime location. Close enough to everything that's important and tucked away enough to be peaceful, with a beautiful Exterior corridor.
The Quirks (Because No Place is Perfect)
Okay, full disclosure, I did get slightly lost wandering the halls once. There are a lot of little nooks and crannies. Also, my room was a little further away than the elevator than I’d have preferred. The internet was at times slow, but that's just part of life, I suppose.
The Verdict - Book It. Seriously.
Look, I’m picky. I like my comfort. I like my luxury. And this place delivered. It's not just a hotel; it's an experience. From the incredibly friendly staff, to the impeccably clean rooms, to the mind-blowing food, this place has it all. If you are looking for a cozy place to rest at, then I really recommend this place. It’s perfect for a romantic getaway, a solo adventure or a family trip. I am already dreaming of my return.
My Unforgettable Recommendation
If you go, definitely…
- Indulge in the spa treatments. You won't regret it.
- Eat the caviar. You deserve it.
- Get lost in the little hidden corners. It's part of the charm.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive HEADFIRST into a chaotic, beautiful, and probably vodka-fueled adventure through "Excellent Appartment, Cozy and Chic Russia." Consider this less an itinerary, and more a slightly tipsy promise of adventure. And trust me, it'll be messy.
Disclaimer: I am not a travel agent. I am a caffeine-fueled, over-planner with a penchant for disastrously charming adventures. Proceed at your own incredibly erratic risk.
Destination: Russia. (Duh.) Focus: "Excellent Apartment, Cozy and Chic" -- because who doesn't want to start their Russian adventure with a hopefully charming flat?
Duration: Roughly, let's say 7 days. (This is subject to change, depending on how many blinis I consume.)
Day 1: Arrival and the Glorious, Yet Slightly Terrifying, Quest for the Apartment (And My Sanity)
| Time | Activity | Location(s) | Mood/Commentary | |------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 06:00 AM (ish) | Wake up, panic about packing, realize I forgot my favorite socks. (This is crucial. These socks are my comfort blanket.) | My Apartment (Chaos Central) | "Okay, deep breaths. You're going to Russia! You're going to Russia! …Did I pack enough underwear?" | | 08:00 AM | Arrive at the airport. Face the monstrous beast of international travel. Smile politely through security despite wanting to scream into a pillow. | Airport | "Why are airplane seats so small? I swear, my legs are longer than the entire flight." | | 10:00 AM (Local Time) | Flight. Survive. Try not to spill coffee on the nice lady next to me. (Success! Slightly.) | Airplane | "The in-flight movie selection? A bizarre fever dream. But hey, free headphones!" | | 04:00 PM (ish) | Arrive in (City Name - Let's say, St. Petersburg). Find a cab. Negotiate (poorly) with a taxi driver. Pray he doesn't take me to the Russian version of Siberia. | Pulkovo Airport | "Right. Russian. I remember some phrases! 'Spasibo.' 'Privet.' 'Do you know where my apartment is?'" | | 06:00 PM | The Apartment Quest Begins. Find the "Excellent Apartment, Cozy and Chic." (Hopefully, it's actually excellent, cozy, and chic.) This is where things get… interesting. Expect slight language barrier shenanigans and bewildered facial expressions. | St. Petersburg | "Okay, so, the address… the instructions… where is this blasted building? This is already looking like one of those 'lost in translation' comedies, and I'm the star!" | | 08:00 PM | Unpack. Explore the Apartment. Admire the hopefully "chic" décor. Maybe, just maybe, attempt to make tea. (Will I have a kitchen? Will it be functional? The suspense is KILLING me!) | "Excellent Apartment" | "Oh. My. God. (If the apartment is a dive, cue immediate existential crisis.) If it's amazing? Victory dance!" | | 09:00 PM | Dinner. Find a local restaurant. Order something I think is food. (Embrace the unknown! It’s part of the adventure…) Bonus points if I can ask for the check without sounding like a complete idiot. | Local Restaurant | "Okay, so I think I pointed at the right picture on the menu… Fingers crossed it's not horse meat. (Which, honestly, it wouldn't be the worst thing…). Order the soup. Drink the local beverage." | | 10:00 PM | Collapse into bed, exhausted but exhilarated. Journal. Make a mental note to master the phrase, "Excuse me, where is the nearest bathroom?" | The Apartment | "This is it. Officially in Russia. What have I gotten myself into? (But I love it.)" |
Day 2: The Royal Mess: Palaces, Parks, and a Possible Encounter with a Pigeon (Or Three)
| Time | Activity | Location(s) | Mood/Commentary | |------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 09:00 AM | Wake up. Coffee. (Crucial.) Curse the fact that jet lag exists. | The Apartment | "Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Gotta. Have. Coffee. Okay, maybe two coffees…" | | 10:00 AM | Visit the Hermitage Museum. Prepare to be overwhelmed by art and crowds. Try not to get lost. Aim to actually see something. (Good luck!) | The Hermitage Museum | "So many paintings! So many people! Okay, focus. Find the Rembrandts. Don't faint from artistic overload." | | 01:00 PM | Lunch. Grab a quick (and hopefully not dodgy) bite. Practice ordering in Russian. (Expect mispronunciations and confused stares.) | Café/Restaurant | "Okay, 'borscht'… I think I got it right? …Did that waitress just laugh at me?" | | 02:00 PM | Peterhof Palace and Gardens. Prepare for Versailles-level opulence. Wander the gardens. Get lost. Marvel at the fountains. Maybe get photobombed by a tourist. | Peterhof Palace & Gardens | "Wow. Just… wow. These fountains are ridiculous! I want a fountain in my apartment!" | | 06:00 PM | Stroll along the Neva River. People-watch. Try to capture the beauty. (My photography skills are questionable. Expect blurry shots.) | Neva River | "The light here is amazing. (If I could actually use my camera properly…)" | | 07:00 PM | Dinner. Seek out traditional Russian cuisine. Embrace the stodge. (Pelmeni, anyone?) Expect this meal to be glorious! | Local Restaurant | "Pelmeni! Yay! (Secretly, I'm hoping for a bread basket…)" | | 09:00 PM | Optional: Evening stroll. Check out the city's nightlife. (If I have the energy, and the courage.) Might get lost. (Again.) | City Center | "Hmm… A bar with live music? Maybe. Or maybe just straight to bed with a book. Decisions, decisions…" |
Day 3: Churches, Canals, and the Quest for Authentic Blinis (I swear, I'm obsessed!)
| Time | Activity | Location(s) | Mood/Commentary | |------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 09:00 AM | Basilica. Observe and admire the architectural marvel. Don’t get trampled by excited tourists. | The Church on Spilled Blood | "Wow, the colors! The details! Okay, focus. Don't stare so long you get hypnotized." | | 11:00 AM | Explore the canals by boat. See the city from a different perspective. (Try not to fall in. No promises.) | Canal Cruise | "This is gorgeous! (If I hadn't forgotten my sunglasses, I'd be even happier.)" | | 12:00 PM | Find the best blinis in the city. This is a serious mission. Research. Ask locals. Consume. Repeat. (This could potentially become a full-day activity. I’m okay with that.) | Restaurant/Café | "The quest for the perfect blini begins! Sweet, savory, with caviar… the possibilities are endless! (I already miss them)" | | 03:00 PM (ish) | People-watching. Find a park bench. Observe the fascinating tapestry of Russian life. (Maybe
