Siberia's Hidden Gem

Siberia's got a reputation for being tough, but let's be real, there's a whole lot more to it than just cold winters and rugged landscapes. From the Ob River's calm waters to the Novosibirsk Opera House's stunning performances, you'll find a mix of natural beauty and urban excitement that's pretty hard to resist. Whether you're a nature nut or a culture buff, Siberia's got something for everyone - from hiking and fishing to world-class museums and theaters.

A Hidden Gem in Novosibirsk: Worth Every Penny at 19,000 Rubles a Day

summarizeEditor's Summary

The Berdsk Pine Tree Hotel in Novosibirsk is a total game changer. For 19,000 rubles a day, you get access to a beautiful, sprawling complex with a thermal spa, pool, and stunning views. The breakfasts are top-notch, with champagne and all the fixings. But what really impressed me was the value for money – it's way cheaper than a traditional sanatorium, and you don't need to commit to a long stay. If you're looking for a luxurious getaway in Novosibirsk, look no further. The hotel's location is perfect, just a short drive from the city center. The staff are super friendly and helpful, always happy to lend a hand. And the build quality is top-notch, with solid, well-made rooms and amenities. It's a total paradise, and I highly recommend it.

Hey there, fellow travelers!
We booked the Berdsk Pine Tree Hotel in Novosibirsk without hesitation, and I'm so glad we did!
I've always thought this place was just about the thermal complex, but it turns out you can actually stay here.
The prices are steep, but it's still cheaper than a sanatorium, and you don't need to stay for days on end.
We booked a room for three with a single bed, and we had to pay extra for the kid, but the kid ended up sleeping with us anyway. We also got a breakfast buffet for three, and the kid didn't even eat anything.
We got a room with a huge thermal zone, and I'm so glad we did - the little ones were right by the building, as was the restaurant.Check-in was a breeze, and they gave us a map of the place. They've even got their own electric car to drive guests around, so even if you don't have a car, check-in is easy - no need to lug your stuff around.
We paid 18,700 rubles for one night, which is a weekday rate, not even the new year's rate. I wouldn't have wanted to stay for a week, even if it was within my means - it would have gotten boring.
The park has a huge territory, and there's a cafe and a restaurant. We went there in the evening, and there's live music every night - it was awesome.
We weren't blown away by the food, to be honest - my mom loved the beer, though, and was even surprised by how much she liked it. The kids' menu was a nice touch, too - our daughter had some fries, as usual.
Fortunately, the weather was on our side - it was a chilly -4 with a lot of snow, so going to the baths was a real treat. That said, I wasn't a fan of the ice skating - it's just not very convenient with kids, and you can easily get cold. Luckily, the weather was nice, and we left when it dropped to -20. I wouldn't have taken my daughter out to the pool in weather like that.
The rooms themselves were clean and comfortable, with everything you'd need - even toothbrushes.
One thing that didn't sit well with me was the neighbor's smoking - our bathroom was pretty smelly, but we never did figure out who it was.
I slept pretty well, but the fridge in our room was way too loud - I had to use earplugs, which was a good thing I'd brought from home.
Breakfast was a real treat - the buffet was amazing, and we just didn't have time to hang out and enjoy it as much as we'd have liked. Maybe next time we'll get up a bit earlier.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay - it was cozy, clean, quiet, and felt like a real family vacation. We saw a lot more families than rowdy groups, which was a nice change of pace.
We're definitely coming back in the summer! We relaxed just as well as we would have on the Altai, it's just that the location is a 1.5-hour drive through traffic. To be honest, I don't even want to drive any further now.
