|
|
Hi, I need a hotel room in Vladivostok on January 9 and 10, 2009. All of the travel websites I have checked have said "no availability" on these date - I don't know if this is because they are crappy websites or because of the Russian holiday. Any pointers towards a hotel near the train station would be appreciated.
thx,
danbrew |

Danbrew,
Tried Hotel Gavan (if it is still there...)? It's not central but within a fair walking distance. Certainly a good deal closer than the Intourist office where it used to be on Okeanskiy.
I'll check some links I may have tucked away somewhere later.
Regards

Danbrew,
www.gavan.ru and they have an english page. Website looks the goods.
Paul,
I wonder how many people will die in their flats this winter in Vladivostok? They may be better off in Igloos.

| I remember before that the local utility company were going to steal the family pets and ransom them back to the family so they pay the bill. |

masterdooh,
Hmmm...I'd be looking at sleeping under railway staircases...
Be that as it may, Lonely Planet Trans sib or The Trans Sib handbook have a list of places to stay. IIRC there is a slightly dive-like place around the railway station.
And do not expect much for your dough..I found a 3 or 4 star rating to be the equivalent of a run down B&B/pub in Vladivostok....
The 5 star (a true rating!) Hyundai (? faulty memory..) on the way to the airport would fund a 3rd world nations debt for a room.....
HTH
