Господи, какого века постройка? Lord, what century is the building?

". . At a simple reception, located just in the arch, for $ 7 (apparently, a fee per day), without a passport, which I did not have with me, they gave me the key to the room. Since the hotel was located on one side of the square I was interested in, I spent 15 minutes explaining with the language of facial expressions and gestures that I would pay the same amount if the window looked out in the right direction. As a result, everyone nodded in unison and, having made friends with such a smiling and talkative "Rus", collectively carried my suitcase to the room. Lord, what a century building? Narrow spiral staircases, real mosaics, bronze railings, carpets on the courtyard, girls and grandmothers with sewing machines on them, food is cooked right there in the vat. Doors to most rooms are open (hot), inside - non-Russian speech. Air conditioners, and there is no other technology. . .
