Teplo Hotel

The warm atmosphere and the coffee that you can always drink without any burden made it a great place to relax and have a good time. -

We stayed here only one night in order to connect our Trans-Siberian Rail the next day. Our room is on small side, and there is no window facing outside. The reason we choose this hotel is mainly due to the location which is approximately 10-15 min walk with big luggage to Vladivostok Train Station. Overall, we are satisfied with what our choice. All the staffs we interacted during our stay are very polite and helpful.

Stayed one night in private room. Had in-room sink and shower but toilets were shared in hallway. Very clean and comfortable place to stay with good location to train station, port, and main street. Breakfast was included which was good but basic. Free wifi available but was on and off depending where you situated yourself. Still worth the stay and price!

Hotel Teplo has very convenient location in the center of the city (about 5 min by walk to main sightseeing) . My room was very clean and quiet and the price was very nice. But the main advantage of this hotel is their staff. The receptionist Julia helped me a lot during whole stay, she recommended such a nice places which I`ve never found in the travel guides. Hotel Teplo is the place where I want to come back again and again!!!

Location ||Teplo is located about 5-10 min walk from Vladivostok train station. To airport train which runs at random times takes 50 minutes & costs about 400rub. The hotel does provide transfers at a cost of 1100 rubles. It also takes about an hour. ||Within area one can walk to Golden Horn bay where all the ships & a Submarine to visit is and on another side about 15 minutes walk to beach where there are various bars and is perfect for sunset, especially in summer at a bar called sunset something, plays Ibiza tunes but relaxing & great to lie back on bean bags & enjoy the view. ||Hotel is generally a great spot to walk about the city to the main sights & museums but is quiet. ||Room||Superior room was a little disappointing with the price charged. Very small, bed ok but pillows not soft. No alarm clock or phone for wake up service. Faces a smallish TV that has nothing but Russian channels despite other (cheaper) hotels in Russia having something at least in English. Open plan wardrobe with some shelves, a small fridge but no mini bar offered. Though two bottled waters are complimentary. Plus a kettle. ||Two small chairs with a coffee table. ||Bathroom quite small & takes a while for hot water to kick in. Basic dispenser shower gel (bring your own) and shampoo only. But they do provide dental kits. ||AC unit is in the room on wall stand-alone unit. ||Though I was on my own, found space limited in general & if two people stayed here with bags it would be tighter than a cheap London hotel. But at the same price. ||Facilities ||The hotel offers free WiFi but found it dropped a lot & too slow to stream youtube. ||There is a shared kitchen area in the lobby but didn’t seem anyone hanging out in there. ||There are also some snacks in fridges to buy, such as pot noodles and chocolate bars, crisps but overpriced and noticed my bought Twix had a soft biscuit because it was one month out of date. ||Breakfast is also provided but left to early to try it. ||Staff||Staff are generally friendly & helpful all but the overnight girl at the reception can speak English well & are helpful with any requests. Such a taxi booking. ||The pre-booking communication is excellent as well via Expedia. ||Staff, in my opinion, are the strength of this hotel.||Overall considering it was nearly 9000rub a night, for what you get even compared to Moscow & St.Petersburg seems way overpriced especially how small the double room is. Vladivostok is to be fair, more expensive for hotels than most Russian cities I’ve been to like Kazan, Sochi & Khabarovsk but didn’t feel Teplo offered value for money & only stayed here based on reviewed but will try unlikely return on my next visit to Vladivostok. It's not really a suitable hotel for a business traveller.

Smallish clean semi-suite (on-suite shower and sink only) in a perfect location very close to the train station.||Chic sitting-kitchen design yet there is no stove/cooker for proper cooking. A microwave oven is available though.||Friendly and helpful staff who speak some English. We booked thru booking.com at RUB2200/night including breakfast.||It is owned by the same people as Optimum Hostel.

Good: very close to main train station, so if you are moving from main train station to hotel, the direction is to cross the street in front of you where you will see a supermarket, walk up to the stairs on the left hand side of the supermarket, turn left then walk about 3-5 mins. The room is lovely, well-designed, quite enjoy our time here. The restaurants/cafe in the hotel is nice too we went there a few times for breakfast and dinner. Some of the staff in hotel and restaurant can speak good English, which help us a lot as we don't know Russian. Would come back again if visiting Vladivostok again in future. ||||||Bad: Its not easy for taxi driver to locate the hotel. (We arrived Vladivostok airport at midnight so we had to take a taxi, and it seemed a bit hard for him to locate the hotel)

Regarding the few possibilities for hotel in Vladivostok, especially for a family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers, we choose Teplo Hotel. We booked 2 double rooms and they hosted us in 2 adjacent rooms. Service is friendly, in English and the lobby with the kitchen for the breakfast or for your own use is very nice. Room is clean and hotel is very well located near the train station.
