In this post I decided to again visit Tayshet here in Russian Siberia. In my previous post about Tayshet (JAN 28, 19) I stressed that it is pronounced as Taishet (Tai rhymes with Fly .. Tay rhymes with Hay).
We stayed in a pleasant hotel.
THE HOTEL BIRYUSA.
I will begin by showing you two photos of The Hotel Biryusa as taken from the Taishet Railway Station.
Patti says in real estate, property value depends upon location-location-location.
Look past the WWII Victory Monument. Do you see our hotel in the distance?
It could not have been in a better location. An easy five minute walk from the railway station.
A clean, good looking building. NO elevators. Stairs only. We were on the 2nd floor. That was enough for me.
Some cyrillic words just stump me!
Biryusa. I am not able to get there with the below cyrillic spelling. The letter Ю I've failed to master.
PECTOPAH is clean. Easy. Restoran. (No T on the end)
The lobby check in counter. I loved the aquarium.
In fact I loved it so much that when my room Wi-Fi faded out I came down here to the lobby and set-up-shop.
Rhetorical Question : Did all of you have a mental image that portrayed the Russians here in Siberia as being 'into' lovely aquariums?
Now what do you think of this aquarium Mister Russian Bear?
"Let me at those fish!"
What was not-so-good were the stairs. NO elevator.
Hallways and common areas.
In this common area, I also set up my laptop to take advantage of superior Wi-Fi as opposed to that in my room. The aquarium was the very best place.
Now our room. We paid 3,200 Russian Rubles (U.S. $47.76) for our room.
On top of that we paid an additional (one time) fee of 800 Russian Rubles (U.S. $ 11.94) because we booked in advance by telephone. I know. Go figure.
Our mini-fridge worked really well.
For the most part the Wi-Fi in our room was very good. Once in awhile it would fade away. At those times I went out into the common areas (see above) and that really helped a lot.
The view from our room.
Breakfast was included in our room rate.
Well there you have a look at our hotel in Taishet Russian Siberia.
