“Pleasant, friendly home in Sakhalin”

For visitors to this fairly remote part of the world, the Rubin is a pleasant, comfortable home. While not a flash place, it is well maintained and comfortable.

For visitors to this fairly remote part of the world, the Rubin is a pleasant, comfortable home. While not a flash place, it is well maintained and comfortable. Most staff speak at least some English and all are pleasant and helpful. Yuzhno Sakhalinsk's main shops and restaurants are scattered around town, but the Rubin is a pleasant walk to all the main places. There is a small grocery store on the corner next door and the rooms at the Rubin come with a small kitchen. The wifi needs a password that is sent by SMS to you from the login page, but it didn't work with my non-Russian phone. The front desk gave me a password though and even on the top floor it worked well. I reserved an airport pick up but it never came. There were a handful of taxis though and a ride to the Rubin cost 500 RUB.

“A great hotel good value”

I have stayed here more than once for extended periods and found it a very comfortable all suite hotel. Reasonably clean and well maintained. Good location with plenty of supermarkets around to purchase provisions and a bar dinner on site

“Pleasantly Surprised”

Normally I would stay at hotel not to far away only because that's what I've always done. It was fully booked this time and I therefore decided on the Rubin. I've always wondered what it was like as the Mishka Pub has been a place I visit regularly during my trips for both a beer and food. The Rubin hotel surprised me, the staff were friendly and the room (junior suite) was large with a separate bedroom off the open plan living/kitchen area. The room had everything I needed, plenty of space to hang clothing, good table to work at, nice sofa to relax on and all the utensils for cooking if that's your thing. The Mishka Pub has always been good but I was pleased with the breakfast. It actually resembled a breakfast, unlike the stuff provided at the hotel round the corner. My only negative comments regarding the Rubin are: 1. WiFi - I was on the third floor and it was poor at best but having spoken with reception a trial is underway for a new system. 2. Air Conditioning - This switched on in the room for the week I was there and set as low possible but it never reached the desired temperature. This is typical of most air conditioning I've come across in Russian hotels. Would I stay here again? It will be first choice every time.
