It’s an unfortunate consequence of Soviet engineering, architecture, and construction however, that does not change the fact that there is a noticeable stench in many of the restrooms here.
At the Institute, making light of the bathroom situation, Anthony and I have dubbed one of the restrooms, “Odor-xona.”
Upon walking across a decadent marble floor, down a marble staircase, and across a marble threshold one might find they are in the men’s restroom. As lavish as it might sound, the atmosphere is not. You might especially notice the change in atmosphere through the piercing, nasal hair singing odor. The Odor-Xona.
Of course, its not the Institute’s fault, but it is a staple of the experience while you are there.
rating: 8.5/10; would recommend using the necessary facilities for your needs, breathe through your mouth though. Also, rating measures the level of intensity of the odor.
