Second stay at Budapest Hotel and still absolutely delighted! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Red Square and all the surrounding sights. This time, I finally cracked the metro system, which made getting around so much more efficient. The subway here is stunning—clean, fast, and easy to navigate. The hotel itself continues to impress with its comfort and excellent service. It feels like coming home every time. I’m already planning my third visit! If you’re in Moscow, don’t miss this gem.

We stayed at this hotel with my husband and couldn’t be happier with our experience. The location is excellent—close to the city center, making it super convenient to explore Moscow on foot or by metro. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable. Breakfast was a buffet-style spread with a good variety of options—both hot and cold dishes, plus drinks. We were a bit disappointed that the sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi weren’t available during our visit, but we still enjoyed the spa area, especially the relaxing whirlpool. The staff was outstanding—the manager, Oleg, went above and beyond. He welcomed us warmly, offered a vase for flowers, answered all our questions patiently, and made us feel truly valued. His professionalism and kindness left a lasting impression. This place offers great value for money, and I’d definitely recommend it to others. Would book again without hesitation.

Staying at this hotel was an absolute pleasure—truly a highlight of my trip to Moscow. I especially want to thank the administrator Yaroslav for his exceptional hospitality; he was always available, friendly, and quick to assist with any request or question. The location is excellent—just a short walk from major attractions and public transport, making it easy to explore the city. Clean rooms, thoughtful amenities, and a welcoming atmosphere make this place stand out. If you're looking for a reliable, comfortable, and well-located stay in Moscow, this is definitely the place to book.

I've stayed at Gesten Hotel more than once, and it never fails to impress. The location is unbeatable—right next to a metro station, with Red Square just a short 5-minute walk away. For Moscow’s city center, the price is very reasonable and offers excellent value for money. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is delicious—plus, you can order it to your room, which is a nice touch. The rooms are simple but well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The only minor downside is the soundproofing; occasionally, you can hear what's happening in the adjacent room, but it’s not disruptive. Overall, this hotel delivers exactly what you’d expect from a central, reliable, and affordable option in Moscow. Highly recommend!

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.

I stayed at Minima Kitay-Gorod and was really impressed with the location—just a short walk from Red Square and right next to a metro station, making it super convenient for exploring Moscow. The hotel itself is clean and well-maintained, even though it’s not brand new. My room on the top floor was cozy but tidy, with a skylight that let in plenty of natural light—really added a nice touch. It came equipped with a TV, hairdryer, tea-making facilities, and basic toiletries like shampoo, shower gel, and soap—everything you’d need. Breakfast was a buffet-style spread with a good variety of options, so I had no trouble finding something tasty to start my day. Overall, it’s a great value-for-money stay in a fantastic central spot. I’d definitely come back.

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.

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. Its location is excellent, just a short distance from the city center, making it easy to explore Moscow on foot or by metro. 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.

Staying at this hotel in Moscow was a pleasant surprise. Just a 2-kilometer walk from Red Square—about 30 minutes on foot—makes for a nice, leisurely stroll through local neighborhoods with a real sense of the city. The location is convenient, with plenty of nearby restaurants and easy access to public transit. What really stands out is the incredible value for money. 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.
