I stayed at the Azimut Hotel Olympic Moscow for a full week, and it was an excellent experience overall. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short metro ride from the city center, with plenty of dining options and shops nearby. The breakfast buffet was generous and varied, though it felt repetitive after a few days, which made me wonder what to eat each morning. That said, the fitness center stood out—it’s well-equipped, clean, and professionally maintained, making workouts enjoyable. The hotel strikes a great balance between comfort, convenience, and value, especially for longer stays or business travelers. I’d definitely consider returning on my next trip to Moscow.
Staying at Novotel Moscow Center was an absolute pleasure, especially for travelers who value convenience and efficiency. The hotel’s location is unbeatable—it’s literally right outside the Mendeleevskaya Metro station, so you can hop on the subway just steps from your door. This made getting around Moscow incredibly easy, whether heading to major attractions or exploring local neighborhoods. The breakfast spread wasn’t overly elaborate, but it was fresh, well-prepared, and free of some common staples like fried potatoes or mashed potatoes—something I personally appreciate, especially when pairing with salty fish. What really stood out was the staff’s service attitude. When I needed to store my luggage before check-in, the team was warm, helpful, and genuinely attentive. It’s clear they care about guest experience. For anyone visiting Moscow and looking for a comfortable, centrally located stay with great transit access and friendly service, this is a top-tier choice. I’ll definitely be returning.
I stayed at Hotel Garden Embassy for a few nights and was genuinely impressed. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and surprisingly quiet despite being close to the city center. What stood out most was the high level of safety in the area—walking around at night felt completely secure. Plus, the adjacent garden is free to access and offers a peaceful green escape with lush trees and walking paths—perfect for morning strolls or relaxing after a busy day. There are plenty of dining options nearby, from cozy local eateries to casual cafes, so you never have to go far for a good meal. A supermarket is just a short walk away, making it super convenient for grabbing essentials. And speaking of convenience, the metro station is within easy reach—getting around Moscow is fast and hassle-free. Overall, this hotel delivers on comfort, location, and value. If you're looking for a reliable, stress-free stay in Moscow, this is definitely a top choice.
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.
Staying at Mini-Hotel Old Moscow was a perfect choice for both business and leisure travelers in central Moscow. The location is unbeatable—just a short metro ride from major attractions and business hubs. Even though the room is compact, it’s spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully designed with a comfortable large bed that made for a great night’s sleep. The bathroom had everything I needed, including quality toiletries. What stood out was the small kitchenette—perfect for brewing coffee or preparing quick meals, which saved me money and gave me flexibility. The staff were genuinely attentive and welcoming, making me feel at home. Clean, quiet, and well-located, this little gem offers incredible value. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Moscow, whether for work or just a relaxed getaway.
We ended up in Moscow unexpectedly—definitely not part of the original plan. Arriving late, we had to scramble for a quick place to stay for just two nights. After calling ahead and confirming a room, the front desk girl mentioned payment was only in cash. We spent ages searching for ATMs around the city, while constantly getting calls from the manager checking if we’d actually show up. When we finally arrived, a young woman greeted us—clearly eager to go back to bed. Our stay was from the 13th to the 15th, but we were charged for three full days. We didn’t catch it at first because we were exhausted and just wanted to collapse into bed. No one offered any guidance or let us choose a room—even though there were clearly multiple available. The room was freezing cold. The TV worked only sporadically. The bathroom mirror was cracked, the shower door had a gap causing puddles every time we took a shower. Dirty, cloudy glasses sat on the table with no water inside—completely pointless. Mold was visible along the windowsill and walls near the window. The towel had stains and fuzz balls all over it. Noise insulation was terrible—every sound from the hallway or next room came through loud and clear. We checked out early in the morning. No one was at the front desk, so instead, a security guard came to inspect the room—without saying a word. We dropped off the key and left immediately since we were rushing to catch our flight. For 4,000 rubles per night—especially with photos that make it look better than it really is—we could’ve easily found something far more comfortable and reliable. These pictures are just a small fraction of what I captured. Honestly, I’m really disappointed we chose this hotel. It wasn’t worth the price, the experience, or the stress.
Staying at The Carlton in Moscow was an absolute delight from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with genuine warmth and professionalism—exactly what you’d expect from a world-class hotel. The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and beautifully designed with modern touches and top-quality furnishings. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night’s sleep. Every detail, from the bathroom amenities to the quiet ambiance, reflected exceptional attention to detail. The cleanliness level is outstanding—every corner was spotless. Service was prompt and thoughtful without being intrusive. Location-wise, it’s very convenient for exploring downtown Moscow via metro. This stay exceeded all my expectations. Truly a five-star experience in every sense—would absolutely book again.
This hotel is absolutely outstanding in Moscow—truly one of the most memorable stays I've ever had. The staff are incredibly attentive and warm, making you feel like a valued guest from the moment you arrive. The breakfast is exceptional—fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The on-site restaurant delivers gourmet-quality meals with real flair and taste. But what truly sets this place apart is the atmosphere: serene, intimate, and completely removed from the hustle of the city, yet right in the heart of Moscow. It feels like a private sanctuary floating above the urban chaos. Every detail reflects thoughtfulness and luxury. I’m still buzzing from the experience—I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Staying at Mamaison All-Suites Spa Hotel Pokrovka was a perfect fit for my travel style—especially with the kitchenette in the room. Having access to basic cooking facilities made it so much easier to prepare simple meals, which was great for saving money and enjoying some home-style comfort during our trip.

Staying at Lotte Hotel Moscow during the New Year holidays was an absolute highlight. The location is super convenient—just a short metro ride from major attractions, and everything you need is within walking distance.

Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our stay, making us feel welcome from day one. The spa area was a real treat—calm, well-maintained, and perfect for unwinding after a long day.
