Highly recommended by a friend, and it definitely lived up to the hype! The location is excellent—just a short walk from the metro, making it super convenient for getting around Moscow. The room was well-equipped with air conditioning, a fridge, a safe, and a private bathroom. Hot water worked perfectly, which made my morning routine much more enjoyable. The front desk staff were professional and helpful throughout my stay. The only minor downside was some street noise since the room faced the road, but after a long day of traveling, I didn’t mind at all. If you’re sensitive to noise, opt for a non-street-facing room—otherwise, this place offers great value and comfort. I’d definitely come back.

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 this unique hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is perfect—just a short metro ride away from the heart of Moscow, with plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. The room design is truly one-of-a-kind, blending artistic flair with modern comfort. Every detail feels intentional and stylish, making it feel like staying in a creative sanctuary. The bed was incredibly comfortable—perfect for a restful night’s sleep. Staff were friendly and attentive, always ready to help with any request. What stood out most was the incredible value for money. It’s rare to find such a memorable experience at this price point. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Our first stop in Russia was Nikonovka Hotel, and it truly felt like a warm welcome to the country. The staff were all local Russians—genuine, friendly, and helpful. Even our translator companion loved it so much she recommended it to her friends studying in Moscow. Breakfast offered authentic Russian dishes, which were delicious but definitely a bit heavy for our Chinese palates after three or four days. That said, the hotel was spotless and warmly heated throughout. What stood out most was our room with a little balcony—perfect for sipping tea while gazing at the snow-covered streets outside. It felt magical, like stepping into a cozy winter story. This stay became one of the most cherished memories of our trip to Moscow. A wonderful balance of comfort, charm, and authenticity—definitely coming back.

The Reakomp Hotel is perfectly located—just a short walk from everything I needed. While the hotel itself feels a bit dated, it’s clean, cozy, and warmly welcoming. The mattress was excellent—truly comfortable for a good night’s sleep. Plus, it's super convenient with both Vkus Vil and Perekrestok right nearby, so grabbing snacks or essentials was a breeze. Despite its age, the value for money is outstanding. I’d definitely stay here again.

One of the best stays during my trip to Russia! Staying at 'Boutique-Hotel Venice in My Heart' felt like discovering a hidden gem. The front desk staff was incredibly warm and welcoming—speaking fluent English, offering WiFi details, even sharing a local news broadcast with me. It’s such a personal touch that made me feel right at home. The location is perfect: just a short walk from the metro and Leningrad Train Station, making travel around Moscow super convenient. The room was cozy, clean, and included little snacks—a nice surprise. Yes, it’s slightly tucked away, so I’d recommend checking out other guests’ tips in the review section for the exact route—it’s worth the effort. For an adults-only boutique stay with charm, comfort, and great value, this place truly stands out.

Not recommended at all! The photos, descriptions, and even the reviews don't come close to capturing the truly unacceptable condition of this hostel. It's not cleaned—it's just swept around with a mop, spreading dirt everywhere. Furniture is either trash or completely missing. No closets, no shelves, no proper luggage storage—just a tiny broom closet. There's zero cleanliness, and mold is clearly growing in both showers shared by the dorm rooms. The beds are old double beds with worn-out mattresses and ill-fitting bedding. After one night, I felt more tired than when I arrived. The overall experience was disappointing, unsanitary, and far below any reasonable standard. Definitely not worth it.

We arrived late at night after a short taxi ride, and despite the slightly tricky location—hidden a bit off the main street and requiring a short walk toward the center of the block—the staff were welcoming and efficient with check-in. The room was cozy, quiet, and perfect for a good night’s sleep. We booked a private bathroom option, and everything was spotless and recently renovated. While there’s no closet, that’s part of its charm—ideal for quick getaways. The entire space is made of wood, giving it a warm, inviting atmosphere. There’s no blackout curtain, but the lighting blends naturally with the rustic aesthetic. Downstairs, there’s a charming café serving excellent breakfasts: delicious pastries, a wide variety of teas, and especially rich, homemade porridge. It’s a small gem in Moscow’s neighborhood. I’d absolutely stay here again.

I’ve stayed here twice already, and each visit gets better! The location is fantastic—just one metro stop from the city center, and it’s only a 9-minute walk to Belorusskaya Station. I love how close everything is: right next to the Depot food hall, with a nice little park nearby, and you can even walk to the Moscow Zoo. The room itself is clean and cozy, though the shower area is a bit small and there’s no shelf at all—definitely could use a little more storage space. Still, the convenience, comfort, and overall value make it worth it. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Moscow.

The location provided for this hotel was completely off—spending over an hour circling around the wrong spot due to unreliable GPS in Russia, which often drifts. I finally found the actual address only after calling a local resident for help. The real place is nearly a kilometer away from where it's listed on the platform, making it extremely difficult to locate. It's situated deep within a residential neighborhood, very quiet and far from any main attractions. The room itself is tiny, with a bed width of less than 80 cm—definitely not comfortable for a good night’s sleep. I had hoped being close to Belarus Station would make my next-day departure easier, but that wasn’t the case; it’s actually quite a distance away. There’s no front desk—just an apartment-style setup—so you’re entirely reliant on phone communication, which can be stressful if you don’t speak Russian. For first-time visitors to Moscow who don’t speak the language, I strongly advise avoiding this property. Arriving late at night? You’ll probably end up lost and frustrated. Overall, poor value, misleading location, and a frustrating experience.

I stayed at Hotel Continental when it first opened 15 years ago, and returning now, everything is still top-notch! The hairdryer in the room is absolutely amazing—lightweight yet incredibly powerful. I didn’t expect such strong airflow from something so compact. It made getting ready so much easier. The hotel maintains its charm and excellent service over the years, which is rare these days. Located just minutes from the city center via metro, it’s both convenient and well-priced. If I ever return to Moscow, this will be my go-to choice again. Highly recommend for anyone visiting!

Staying at Radisson Blu Belorusskaya Hotel in Moscow was an excellent experience from start to finish. The hotel boasts a clean, well-maintained environment with a modern and inviting atmosphere—both the lobby and rooms were spotless and fresh. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and professional service; they were attentive, helpful, and made me feel truly welcome. Location-wise, it’s incredibly convenient—just a short ride from the airport, and easily accessible via metro. The station is well-connected, making travel around Moscow hassle-free. Plus, there are plenty of dining options and local amenities nearby. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this hotel offers great value and comfort. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Moscow.
