Akvarel Mini-Hotel

The hotel is located on the 1st floor of a recently built apartment building. The whole area seems to undergo some sort of gentrification, with small old houses torn down and new, multistory ones being built - hence the view from the windows, - but seemed rather quiet and safe to park your car wherever nearby even if the hotel's lot is full. It's about 10-15 minutes walk to Starozolzhsky bridge from there, too. Our room was spotless clean and seemed brand new, the bed comfortable. There was no in-room fridge, but there's a kitchen area across the reception which all guests can use, and it includes the fridge as well as the cooking surface and some kitchenware. The breakfast is prepared there and includes a variety of hot options to select from upon check-in (fried eggs, omelet, oatmeal, pancakes, or syrniki is what I recall); one can also have some tea or coffee from the stand in the area anytime. The staff is extremely helpful. If you need a tourist map of the city, just pick one up from the reception stand.
