I stayed at the Trans in 2003, and had a pleasant stay there. Staff was very helpful; restaurant was quite good; rooms were small, but very clean; and they had a water treatment system, which made a huge difference -- water did not sting while taking showers, as it did in other Ekat hotels I'd visited.

There is some civil construction works around at present. The place is quite close to the city centre (walking distance)and recommendable. Communication in English no problem at reception.

Had a 4 day stay in Ekaterinburg and enjoyed the accomodations at the Transhotel. Clean rooms, fine breakfast buffet, internet access in the business conference room, and the front desk staff spoke English and were helpful. There was a nice bar with large screen TV ( international channels ) and very comfortable chairs ! We walked to the town center from the hotel with no problems.
