For starters, they do have a real samovar - perfect for a tea party! More importantly, this is a
brand new, purpose-built hostel with English-speaking staff, many amenities and a great at-
mosphere. The surroundings are admittedly slightly dingy, but the stairs leading to the
garden by Assumption Cathedral are right in front of the entrance.

As with everywhere along the Golden Ring, the hotel scene in Vladimir is rapidly changing,
with newer places offering better standards than old ones. Occupying an old mansion-house
in a quieter street not far from the main drag, this new hotel offers nice, comfortable, if
slightly faceless rooms. Reception staff are super-friendly.
HOTEL

Perched on a bluff with tremendous views of the valley, this hotel might have the most scen-
ic location in the whole of the Golden Ring area. It is very quiet in this neighbourhood,
where old wooden cottages and new villas are dominated by the elegant Ascension church.
The interior of this new building is tastefully designed to resemble art nouveau c 1900.
The popular restaurant
Krucha
is on the premises.
