TL;DR
A jacuzzi room upgrade typically costs around 10–15% more than a standard room. These rooms are usually on the ground floor, with the jacuzzi located inside or just outside the room.
Room layouts vary: some are identical twin rooms where one has a jacuzzi and the other has a table in its place; there's also a room slightly smaller than the jacuzzi room but bigger than standard; and connecting double rooms sharing one entrance with a door between them. On one stay, jacuzzi rooms were located in building B.
A guest in a jacuzzi room found the AC unit old and barely functioning, while neighbors in an identical non-jacuzzi room had a new AC — the upgrade doesn't always mean better equipment.
A neighboring jacuzzi room stayed unoccupied for a whole week — it may be worth asking at reception to pay extra for an upgrade if such a room appears to be empty.
Booked in April via a Russian tour operator, a standard room for 10 nights (2 adults + 1 teenager) cost around 307,000 RUB, while the jacuzzi upgrade came to 320,000 RUB — a difference of about 13,000 RUB (~$140). Note that jacuzzi rooms are typically on the ground floor, with the jacuzzi located just outside the room entrance.
Jacuzzi rooms are roughly twice the size of a standard room, featuring a large bathroom and a spacious walk-in wardrobe. The jacuzzi is placed by the window where a regular table would normally be.
The jacuzzi in these rooms is not tucked away in the bathroom — it takes up a prominent spot by the window as part of the main room layout. Worth considering if room configuration matters to you.
