Novosibirsk's Hidden Gem: Luxury Apartments on Dekabristov!
Novosibirsk's Hidden Gem: Luxury Apartments on Dekabristov! - A Messy, Honest Review
Alright, folks, buckle up! We're diving headfirst into Novosibirsk's Hidden Gem: Luxury Apartments on Dekabristov! and, let me tell you, it’s been a rollercoaster. This isn't your sterile, corporate review; this is a gritty, honest dive into what makes this place tick (and maybe occasionally, twitch).
First Impressions & Getting There (The Pain Points & the Perks):
Okay, let's be real. Novosibirsk is a city of… well, let's just say character. Getting to Dekabristov was an adventure. I'm talking navigating a maze of Cyrillic signs, dodging potholes that could swallow a small car, and wondering if my GPS was actively trying to kill me. Accessibility? Honestly, the immediate surroundings aren't exactly a wheelchair-friendly paradise. Sidewalks are… patchy. Finding a smooth transition could be a quest. Airport transfer is a must, and thankfully, they offer it, which makes a HUGE difference, especially after a long flight. Car Park [on-site] and Car park [free of charge]: Score! Free parking is ALWAYS a win, and the on-site option means I didn’t have to wrestle with finding a spot after a long day.
Inside the Apartments: A Sanctuary (Mostly):
Stepping into the apartment itself? WHOA. Forget the dusty streets; it’s like entering a different dimension. The Air conditioning was blasting a sweet, sweet arctic breeze, a godsend after the Russian summer heat outside. Air conditioning in public area? Yep! Definitely appreciated.
The Room: This is where things get interesting. I had a "standard" Luxury Apartment, and it was… luxurious. Additional toilet? Not in mine, sadly. But the Private bathroom was sparkling, the Separate shower/bathtub meant zero compromises, and the Bathrobes? Oh, the Bathrobes! I basically lived in that robe for three days. Complimentary tea and Free bottled water, essentials for any stressed traveller. They also had, praise the lord, good Internet access – wireless [Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!], perfect for getting some work done or just binging some trashy TV with the Satellite/cable channels. The desk and Laptop workspace were well set up. A Mirror that was actually usable (a rare treat). Closet space was ample. I definitely appreciated the Coffee/tea maker for those mornings when I needed caffeine coursing through my veins immediately.
The "Not So Perfect" Bits (Because Let's Be Honest):
Okay, let’s get the imperfections out of the way. My room wasn't soundproofed. I could occasionally hear the siren of something out in the streets late at night. Also, I asked for a higher floor "High floor" but sadly didn't get it. Not the end of the world, but you know.
Cleanliness & Safety - Peace of Mind (and a bit of OCD):
The pandemic has made us all, well, a bit… germaphobic. Right? Dekabristov takes it seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, and Staff trained in safety protocol. I felt safe. They even have Hand sanitizer everywhere, and the staff actually wear masks. They clearly have first aid kits. I didn't see them, but it's a good thing to have, as they say.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (The Fuel for Life):
Let's talk food. The Breakfast [buffet], included! I am a sucker for a buffet. It was not the biggest, but it was good enough. Asian breakfast was available, and I love this. Coffee/tea in restaurant was available and needed. International cuisine in restaurant and Western cuisine in restaurant the staff was really nice. The Room service [24-hour] was tempting, but I actually ventured out. Dekabristov is nestled in the heart of the city.
Ways to Relax (And Pretend You're Not Stressed):
This is where Dekabristov truly shines. Pool with view and Swimming pool [outdoor]… and it's gorgeous. The Sauna was legit, a proper Russian experience. They also have a Spa, which I didn’t get to experience, but it looked AMAZING. I did get a Massage, and it was pure heaven. The lady who did it was fantastic!
Things to Do (Beyond the Room):
Beyond the spa and pool, there are plenty of things to keep you entertained. They offer Meeting/banquet facilities and Meeting stationery. The business facilities looked impressive, perfect if you’re trying to conduct a professional event or presentation.
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things That Matter:
They really thought of everything. Daily housekeeping? Check. Laundry service and Dry cleaning? Double-check. Luggage storage? Yes, yes, and YES. Concierge? Super helpful. Currency exchange? Very convenient. Cash withdrawal? Necessary. Elevator? This is very much worth mentioning! They also have a Convenience store.
For The Kids (If you have them):
Family/child friendly – a definite plus. While I didn't have any kids with me, I saw a few families.
My Verdict & Why YOU Should Book (Despite My Rambling):
Look, Luxury Apartments on Dekabristov isn't perfect. It's got some quirks, some minor accessibility issues, and the occasional minor gripe. But, and it’s a big BUT, it’s a genuinely lovely place to stay. It’s comfortable, classy, and safe.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups. We're going on a whirlwind trip to Novosibirsk, Russia, with a focus on those darn Apartments on Dekabristov. Let's see if we can make this less a flawless travel brochure and more a chaotic, lovable mess.
Novosibirsk & Dekabristov Apartments - A Love Story (Probably… Maybe… Depends on the Vodka)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Luggage Debacle
- 6:00 AM (Moscow Time, because who even remembers time zones?): Wake up feeling like a soggy biscuit. Flight from… well, let’s just say it involved a lot of questionable airport coffee. My brain feels like someone's been juggling greased eels in it.
- 7:00 AM: Somehow, miraculously, make it onto the plane without accidentally setting off the emergency exit or getting into a philosophical debate with the TSA agent about the meaning of life.
- 12:00 PM (ish): Touchdown in Novosibirsk. The air hits me like a slap in the face - bracingly cold. That's right from Siberia with love. Feel immediately like I should be wearing a Ushanka. This is going to be interesting.
- 1:00 PM: The Great Luggage Tragedy. My suitcase is… missing. Vanished. Poof. Apparently, it's "taking a scenic route." (I'm picturing it on a leisurely gondola ride through the canals of Venice. Rude).
- 1:30 PM: Rush to the Dekabristov Apartments. Praying it's actually what was advertised. The pictures were stunning, all minimalist modern and the description promised 'breathtaking river views'. I'm hoping.
- 2:00 PM: Finally at the apartment. (Yes! My luggage appears and I find a place to sleep). The 'breathtaking river views' are… well, they exist. Mostly of a very cold looking river, but hey, there's a river! Apartment looks clean. And the wifi works. This is a win.
- 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM: Unpack, unpack, unpack… (well, what I have, anyway). Survey the surroundings. Start making mental notes on how to make the apartment more 'me': more chaos, more books scattered around, and maybe a permanent stain on the rug from the inevitable spilled coffee.
- 5:00 PM: Stroll around looking for Vodka. Find Russian Restaurant. Oh, glorious, glorious borscht. (I have a soft spot for beetroot soup, and this one was like a warm hug in a bowl). Order a large Vodka. Celebrate the arrival of my luggage.
- 7:00 PM: Stumble back to the apartment. Take a nap. This jet lag is no joke.
- 8:00 PM: Wake up with a start. Decide to go out for a walk. Novosibirsk by night is a wonder. The lights reflect on the snow. The cold nipped at my cheeks. Felt the weight of history on me.
- 9:00 PM: Back at the apartment. Write down everything and try to remember all the weird things.
Day 2: Markets, Museums, and My Bitter Rivalry with the Washing Machine
- 9:00 AM: Wake up, slightly hungover, but full of the joy of a fresh start. The breakfast the apartment provides is surprisingly good!
- 10:00 AM: Venture out to the central market! This place is a sensory overload in the best possible way. Mountains of fish (smelling suspiciously fishy), pickled everything, and babushkas hawking… well, I'm not entirely sure, but I want to buy it all.
- 11:30 AM: Spend an hour getting blissfully lost. Buy a suspicious meat pie. Eat it. Regret nothing. Except maybe the questionable aftertaste.
- 1:00 PM: Visit the Novosibirsk State Art Museum. Get lost in the art. Get confused by some of the art. Develop a sudden and intense appreciation for the art.
- 3:00 PM: Back to the apartment. Time to do laundry, what could go wrong? I mean, besides flooding the place or accidentally turning all my clothes into a tie-dye mess?
- 3:15 PM: The washing machine… it’s a beast. I stare at the dials, feeling like I'm about to defuse a bomb. Consult the instruction manual, which is, of course, in Russian.
- 4:00 PM: After a series of near-disasters (including accidentally setting it to ‘boil’), I think I’ve got it. Fingers crossed.
- 5:00 PM: The clothes are… damp. And smell faintly of… nothing. Back to the drawing board.
- 6:00 PM: Give up on the laundry. Order some takeout. At least that's one task I can successfully accomplish.
Day 3: More Adventures and the Deep, Dark Secret of the Dekabristov Apartments
- 9:00 AM: The laundry. It did a thing, by some miracle it's dry and folded. What a day.
- 10:00 AM: Head to the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. The architecture is really quite something.
- 12:00 PM: I have a theory about these Dekabristov Apartments. Is it the ghosts of Soviet engineers and their love of cheap vodka? Is it the secret underground tunnels filled with illicit pickles? Or is it simply they're just really, really, good at making you feel like you're living a slightly surreal dream?
- 1:00 PM: I sit at a small coffee shop, writing and watching people. This is pretty good.
- 2:00 PM: Visit the Novosibirsk Railway Museum. I never thought I would be so fascinated by old trains but here we are. This place is a treasure trove of history.
- Something PM: Back to the apartment. Feel the need to make a grand declaration? And I begin to think… the Dekabristov Apartments has me. It's cozy, it's convenient, and it's quietly, subtly, absolutely brilliant.
- Night Decide to have one last Vodka. Feel the need to write down more. Maybe I'll write the next great Russian novel… or maybe I'll just fall asleep.
Day 4: The Big Farewell (and the lingering scent of borscht)
- 8:00 AM: One last breakfast. Admiring the river from the window. It's a fitting farewell.
- 9:00 AM: Pack up. It wasn't easy.
- 10:00 AM: One final walk around the apartment.
- 11:00 AM: Leave. Get to airport.
- 12.00 PM: The end.
So that's it. My chaotic, vodka-soaked adventure in Novosibirsk. Would I recommend the Dekabristov Apartments? Absolutely. Even with a washing machine that's possibly plotting my demise. It's a place of character and it's a place in a beautiful city. You go and see it for yourself. You won't regret it.
