ibis Kazan Hotel 3 stars

Hotel is very good. Great location and superb and very helpful front staff!

Overall I was satisfied. But I had small issues, that the shower cabin is leaking making the bathroom floor flooded.

The front desk was very nice and welcoming. Always ready to help, which was very nice.

Very close to the city center.

Globally I have been satisfied having stayed in ibis Kazan 4 nights. The position of the hotel in the city center is perfect. As a frequent traveller and a member of the loyalty program, I like to find wherever I go, the same, or at least equivalent facilities and services in all hotels of a common brand. In Kazan, the open space entrance area respects perfectly the ibis touch. So does the accommodation. Room surface, furniture and amenities do not deserve any critic. Room cleaning was also showing a good ibis standard. Unfortunately, some other aspects are left a bit behind. The welcome drink voucher, for instance, doesn’t reflect what the bar attendants are instructed to provide. Instructions for laundry are unclear and differ from standard with a pick up and delivery in the room. But the major failure regarding standard is the lack of bar (or restaurant) attendants training, emphasised by a poor English knowledge. For instance, there is obviously a complete misunderstanding of what concerns room charge. Upon check in, I granted an authorization to open a credit line for whatever could be additional charges like bar or restaurant. Although it was clearly understood while checking in, I’ve been later replied several times that room charge cannot be done. This statement was done without any prior verification about a possible open credit. It resulted in sterile discussions that one may consider as a lack of respect. In this matter, I’m expecting from hotel employees, a behavior that first verifies what the customer says before arguing further – and erroneously. The switching into Russian with a third party during the discussion is another lack of respect. Difficulties to understand English didn’t probably help on that topic. This was also sometimes penalising the understanding of food or drink orders. None of those points are dramatic, but they result in a hotel image that could easily be improved.

The rooms are not the biggest, but overall ok. The breakfasts are very decent, although they cost as much as 2 lunches at the nearest cafes. The location is excellent, 5 minutes and you are on the main street, 15-20 unhurried pace, and you are at the Kremlin. For three stars, this is all very worthy. Now about the cons, and they are. one. The room key was demagnetized 2-3 times a day. 2 There was no closing mechanism in the toilets. Did you ever get a sleepy neighbor at night? And he came to me. 3 No air freshener. Gentlemen, do not need to save on trifles.

Close to city center, nice and fast accommodation, friendly staff. The room 443 is the way too small but comfy, it has everything we needed: single beds, clean linens, soft pillows, wardrobe etc. Unfortunately, the bathroom was toooooo small but we could deal with it. The shower's leaking while I was taking it. No enough space on the sink to put all my stuff. Breakfasts were OK but I wanted it to be a little more diverse and delicious. However they were fine to feed your morning hunger. The undoubtable advantage of Ibis is location – 3 mins walk away from Bauman street, center of tourists and city sights, bistros, souvenir shop and 10-15 minutes’ walk from quay.

We were happy with the location of the hotel, the service desk was friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean...but we missed that there was no water heater (kettle) for making tea or coffee and in the room and that we did not get 1 free drinking water per day.

Ibis Kazan was very clean, the staff helpful and friendly. We had a short nice stay. Thank you so much for the Sightseeing bus tickets - big surprise :)

The hotel is located in the heart of the city, 10 min walking from Kremlin. The staff is very hospitable, always smiling and ready to help. Portions in the restaurant are very small, breakfast is almost the same every day. Rooms require some renovation. TV works with interruptions.

The staff is very hospitable, always smiling and ready to help. The location is great, just 5 min walk from Bauman street. It is a good option for those who stay for a couple of days. The food is ok; however, the selection for breakfast is not superb. The portions in the restaurant are very small, not worth money spent in comparison to cafe nearby the hotel. The room is clean, but it requires some renovation.

Everything was excellent during my stay. Especially I was impressed that they have found somewhere that I like to drink tea and provided me a tea-kettle in the room. Very good location. I booked the room with breakfast and dinner. Dinner was very good.

It was a trip I suddenly went without any information. I needed help, but the staff was so happy to let me know everything. The weather was quite cold and the room was very pleasant, clean and warm. I often drank warm tea, and every time I had to get water from the first floor bar. Of course the staff kindly gave me hot water. But it would have been more comfortable if there was an electric kettle in the room

Spent a night in Kazan. The hotel promised free parking, but when I arrived there was no room for my car on the hotel's free parking lot :( I had to pay for a parking lot near the hotel.

Good quiet location just about walkable from Kazan 1 railway station if like us you find a Yandex taxi refuses the trip. Within walking distance of Tukay Square & the metro station plus the pedestrianised streets where the Tourist Info office is situated.We were checked in by an extremely helpul gentleman who's name I have unfortunately forgotten. We wanted to use local transport rather than the tourist Hop on/Hop off bus and he provided us with helpful accurate information.The only downside to our stay was that one evening there was some type of folk event in the restaurant that was so loud the reception staff were unable to hear us when we tried to speak to them. Just glad we din'dt use the restaurant.
