"The living costs at the Hotel Olimpiyskaya (45-B Engels St.):
Double room - 550 RUB per person a day,
Single room - from 550 RUB a day.
Price of three meals a day - 500-600 RUB a day."
Compare prices for the participants of WWCC and their accompanying people:
Double room - 2100 RUB per person a day, if he/she lives alone; 1300 RUB, if he shares the room with someone.
Dining price - 750 RUB per dinner or supper.
"No one could explain me why this happens - neither in the organizing committee nor at the hotel," - Kosteniuk writes.
