Kaliningrad is a remote territory of Russia. Hotels are more like European. To feel the beauty of the local nature and hospitality, it is best to settle not in a network, but in an authentic place. “Murom” is good, but a little rustic. But the Hotel Manor is just what you need. As an analogue, you can consider Celinburg Guest House, but there is more modernity than tradition.
