Review counts: 93 Google
3 long breaks in reviews (shaded on the chart) — the hotel may have closed or renovated.
What the trend suggests
Possible review removal2015-02 – 2016-0875% confidence
19-month gap with rating drop from 5.0 to 4.33 (delta -0.67). The substantial gap and negative delta suggest reviews may have been removed or suppressed rather than a renovation, as a reopening would typically show rating recovery. Only 1 review recorded post-gap, consistent with review suppression or archive loss during this early period.
Issue resolved2019-05 – 2022-0972% confidence
Complaints about cold rooms, poor bedding quality, and lack of hot water appear in 2019-Q2 (1★ Russian review citing 'холодно' [cold], poor blankets/pillows) but are completely absent from 2022-Q2 onward, where reviews emphasize 'уютно' (cozy), cleanliness, and comfort. Suggests operational improvements to heating, bedding, or hot water systems between 2019 and 2022.
