About this property

Welcome to Hotel Orbital

Hotel Orbital stands as a solid mid-range option nestled in the heart of Obninsk, Kaluga Oblast. Positioned on Ulitsa Kurchatova, 23, this hotel offers convenient access to the city center, Obninskoye railway station, and the Museum of the History of the City of Obninsk — all within a short 2 km radius. The location alone makes it a favored choice for visitors connected to the Rosatom Technical Academy and other local institutions.

The hotel’s reputation is built on its clean and neat environment. Spacious rooms with large windows provide ample natural light and pleasant views. Guests appreciate the presence of well-maintained facilities, including two on-site restaurants, kitchen amenities for self-catering, and indoor recreational options such as badminton and table tennis. The attentive and helpful staff further enhance the overall experience, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere.

However, Hotel Orbital carries an undeniable charm of its Soviet-era origins, which is noticeable in certain aspects. The absence of air conditioning in the rooms and some plumbing design quirks—like the wet bathroom floors—may challenge guests seeking modern comforts. Additionally, essentials such as slippers, robes, and toiletries come at an extra cost, which some travelers find inconvenient. Wi-Fi reliability has also been reported as inconsistent, an important consideration in today’s connected world.

Despite these minor drawbacks, Hotel Orbital earns its place through sincere hospitality, practical amenities, and a clean setting tailored to the needs of its core clientele. It proves especially suitable for students, long-term visitors, and families seeking a quiet, pet-friendly environment without pretension. Breakfast is available for purchase, parking is accessible, and laundry services provide added convenience.

Ultimately, Hotel Orbital strikes a balance between affordability and functionality, inviting guests to experience Obninsk with ease. While not luxurious, it represents an authentic and grounded option that resonates with those who value simplicity and proximity over extravagance. The hotel’s character and service leave a respectable impression, making it a dependable base for extended stays or short visits alike.

В "росатомовских" гостиницах уже останавливался. Поэтому было интересно, что и как в этой гостинице. Начну сразу с плохого. Wi-Fi работал отвратительно - постоянно сбрасывалась и исчезала сеть, по крайней мере в моём номере. Тапочки, халаты, зубные щётки, бритвенные наборы - за деньги. К примеру, тапочки стоят 200 рублей. Свои не брал, был уверен, что в гостинице они будут. Нет ножного полотенца, что удивительно для гостиницы 3*. Скудный выбор телеканалов (вроде бы 23, из цифрового только радио), да и качество оставляет желать лучшего. Теперь об остальном. На входе в здание турникеты - проход по ключу к номеру. При заезде и выезде турникет открывает охрана. В здании семь этажей, номер со второго по седьмой. На одном из этажей есть проход к учебному корпусу, тоже за турникетом, а другом этаже имеется класс самоподготовки и молельная комната. На этажах есть кулеры с проточной водой, но расположены они на противоположных от лифтов концах коридоров. На восьмом этаже имеется кафе. Питание может быть завтраком, полупансионом или полным пансионом. В номере мебель хорошая, петли с доводчиками. Имеется холодильник и кондиционер. Электричество в номере отключается, если ключ не вставить в держатель. В одноместном номере маленькая ванная комната - унитаз, душевая кабина и минираковина. Матрац жёсткий, спать было очень комфортно. В целом, в номере тихо, возможно потому, что не было соседей. Завтрак по системе "шведский стол". В период посещения в гостинице проживали учащиеся гости из южно-азиатской страны. Поэтому способ приготовления больше был рассчитан на них. Два вида каш, фрукты, овощи, мясная нарезка, сырная нарезка, напитки, из сладкого только круассаны, молочные продукты, чай и растворимый кофе, сырники, курица, индейка, рыба, омлет, тушёные овощи - вот приблизительный ассортимент за два посещения завтраков. Горячие блюда накладывает официант (количество и что класть по запросу) - всегда так или из-за иногостей, не знаю. На другой стороне улицы в сквере имеется супермаркет, а неподалёку неплохое кафе с линией раздачи. Парковка бесплатная, уличная, перед входом в гостиницу. В целом, неплохая гостиница, но с особенностями.

Хорошая гостиница для своего уровня. Чисто, персонал приветливый, есть свои кафе и ресторан. Но есть минусы, лично на мой взгляд. В номере стандарт нет тапочек, приходится покупать, пол в ванной всегда мокрый, т.к дырка куда сливается вода с душа прямо на полу. В номере нет кондиционера, а за окном постоянно шум. В целом пережить можно несколько дней:) Большое спасибо персоналу за отзывчивость!

The hotel is looks a bit old and yes, it certainly is. Build in Soviet era, the three star hotel serves the purpose of hosting guests of ROSATOM and trainees of ROSATOM Technical Academy. The hotel comes with two restaurants and has complementary breakfast. The environment is very neat and clean. It has kitchen facilities as well if guests want to cook for themselves.
