I arrived at Leningrad Station in Moscow right on time at 11:01 PM, and it only took about ten minutes by taxi to reach my booked apartment. But then came the unexpected issue—check-in wasn’t possible. The reason? I didn’t have a confirmation slip from the hotel in St. Petersburg proving I’d stayed there, even though I never received any document during my previous stay. That moment truly felt like being stranded with nowhere to go—definitely one of those 'can't believe this is happening' moments. Thankfully, the platform’s customer service was outstanding. They responded quickly, handled everything professionally, and kept me calm throughout the wait—so reassuring that I actually fell asleep on the lobby sofa while waiting. This is a business-style serviced apartment, and overall, it’s impressive. Daily cleaning is done thoroughly, the room is spotless, the kitchen and fridge are fresh with no odd smells—really feels like home. Just a 400-meter walk away, there are two supermarkets (one big, one small), so cooking your own meals every day is super easy. Waking up to sunrise from the bed was a real highlight, and the included breakfast adds extra comfort. Clean, convenient, and welcoming—I’ll definitely be back.
This hotel is absolutely fantastic! The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming, making the entire stay feel seamless and comfortable. The room layout is smart and spacious, offering a great balance between comfort and functionality. What really stands out is the location—everything you need is within walking distance. Just a short stroll to the metro, countless cafes for breakfast or lunch, and the beautiful Zaryadye Park right nearby. From there, Red Square is just a quick walk away. No need to worry about transportation; everything is so accessible. It’s an ideal spot for exploring Moscow without hassle. Highly recommended!
This hotel is absolutely charming! It’s small but incredibly comfortable, with every little detail thought through. Our attic double room was fantastic—two separate beds, a cozy little sofa, ample storage space, an iron and ironing board, a hairdryer, smart scales, and more. The toiletries were a delightful surprise, especially the body lotion with such a refreshing scent—it really elevated the experience. What truly stood out? The TV screen greeted us by name when we turned it on—such a sweet, personal touch that made us feel truly welcomed. Breakfast was an absolute highlight: delicious oatmeal, pancakes with various fillings, heavenly cottage cheese pancakes, fresh salads, appetizers, and perfectly brewed coffee. The staff were friendly and attentive, though the reception area could use just a bit more attention—minor tweak, but overall, this place is absolutely worth recommending. I’d love to come back again! Huge thanks to the owner for creating such a magical, intimate retreat. Cheers to you! 🥂

Staying at Persheron Hotel was a delightful surprise—small but incredibly cozy and full of old European charm. The interior design really stands out with its vintage elegance, making the whole experience feel like stepping into a storybook. The shared kitchen and private bathroom are practical and clean, perfect for travelers who enjoy a bit of independence. Just a heads-up: Room 10 is quite narrow, so it might not be ideal if you're looking for extra space to sleep comfortably—consider another room type instead. The front desk staff speak basic English and are genuinely warm and helpful; they even offer free luggage storage, which is super convenient. Right outside the door, you’ll find a small supermarket and several local eateries—great for grabbing snacks or quick meals. It’s only a 10-minute walk to the metro, and there are also buses that go straight into the city center. Overall, this place offers excellent value, great location, and a personal touch that makes it stand out. Definitely worth a stay!
The Ozerkovskaya Hotel is absolutely fantastic! Located just a short walk from the metro, it’s super convenient for getting around Moscow. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable—especially the bed, which made for a restful night’s sleep. Noise insulation is excellent, so you won’t be disturbed by outside sounds. The staff were friendly and efficient throughout our stay, making check-in and check-out smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was the great value for money—this place offers so much more than expected at this price point. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Moscow.
I can't recommend this hotel at all—our experience was extremely disappointing and deeply unsettling. While the location is convenient, just a short metro ride away, the service was appalling. The front desk staff was rude and dismissive, with no regard for basic customer respect. Later, a manager named Sergey reached out, claiming he wanted to understand the situation—but his real goal seemed to be persuading us to delete our negative review. He even tried to shift blame onto me, suggesting I was at fault for the incident. When we explained that we had to cancel due to a family member’s sudden heart attack—well in advance (12 days prior), and with full prepayment for four nights—he insisted the rate was non-refundable and that our circumstances didn’t matter. He cited a message stating, 'By choosing a non-refundable rate, you accept all risks—you’ll never get your money back, even if something serious happens.' We sent medical documentation, flight tickets, and booking details as proof of the emergency, but he still refused to refund us, saying the evidence wasn’t sufficient. This contradicts Russian consumer protection laws: when services aren’t provided due to unforeseen circumstances, refunds are legally required. There was zero empathy, no understanding, and no humanity in their response. Instead, they offered a voucher in exchange for deleting our feedback—like we were the ones who caused the problem. This kind of behavior feels predatory. We’re now preparing to file a police report and take legal action for fraudulent practices. Please, avoid this hotel. Don’t let them profit from your trust. Choose a place with integrity, compassion, and transparency instead.
The location was excellent—just a short walk from the exhibition venue, making everything super convenient. We arrived to find the hotel temporarily closed due to unforeseen circumstances, but the staff handled it professionally and swiftly. They arranged a driver to transfer us to a partner property with no hassle, ensuring we had a smooth check-in. Despite the unexpected situation, the team’s responsiveness and customer care were outstanding. The alternative hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Overall, the experience exceeded expectations given the circumstances. Great communication, strong problem-solving, and genuine hospitality make this a standout stay in Moscow.
Staying at Bouchee Mini Hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming—always smiling, ready to help with anything, and made me feel right at home. The room was spotlessly clean, with a fresh, tidy vibe that made the stay so comfortable. What really stood out? The hotel sits right next to a charming little urban park. Every evening, different local groups perform—live music, dance acts, even impromptu theater pieces. I’d just grab a seat on the bench, enjoy the breeze, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere. It’s such a unique and authentic touch to the experience. Plus, it’s super convenient for getting around Moscow—just a short walk to the metro. This place isn’t just a hotel; it’s a slice of local life. Highly recommend for travelers who want something special, cozy, and full of character.
Staying at Cosmos Smart Dubininskaya Hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The bed was comfortable, and the room had reliable heating—perfect for the colder months.

Breakfast was simple but satisfying, offering enough variety to start the day right. The front desk staff were exceptionally helpful and patient, always ready to assist with any questions or requests. The hotel’s quality matches that of mid-range chains like Home Inn or HanTing back home, but with better value for money. It’s a solid choice if you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and affordability in a central spot—definitely worth considering for future visits.

The room quality, comfort, and overall experience are far beyond what you'd expect at this price point. It’s rare to find such a well-balanced mix of location, comfort, and affordability. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Moscow.
Staying at Hotel Bilibin Garden Moskva was a great experience overall. The staff were friendly and helpful—especially the young lady who assisted with arranging a taxi, which made getting around the city so much easier. While the room is on the smaller side, the location more than makes up for it: it’s perfectly situated near major attractions and just a short walk from public transit. The bed is modest in size, nothing like what you’d find in some larger hotels back home, but still comfortable for a good night’s sleep. One big plus? The heating system works well—very welcome during Moscow’s colder months. For travelers looking for convenience, comfort, and a cozy atmosphere without breaking the bank, this hotel delivers. I’d definitely stay here again.
