Moskva Federal Subject hotels & accommodations

Everything was great until I was stopped by police( ФМС) to check my doc. hotel stay address, they call it “registration” Even I was given the document that says I’m registered, It wasn’t in the the system of the ФМС. It’s important to be registered when you are traveling to Russia and hotel is responsible to provide you this! They did but it end up to be Fake! The r...

Just nice reception guy who came with blue eyes :) So the hotel was very excellent. There situation is along Moskva river. Close to Smolenskaya blue no.4 and close to Arbat street by walk 10 min. Also not far from Evropeysky mall by walk 20 min. Good bfast & Good Wifi...

This hotel is a really great choice. First, it's affordable. Second, it's located in a really great spot. The Izmailovsky Market is right next to it, so you can go shopping and being all of your things back to your hotel before going somewhere else. There are also lots of other little shops and restaurants around and the metro is very close. The metro is only 5 station...

Firstly the location is the best of Moscow for a tourist...central and aristocrat!!At the other side this hotel has the glamour of the past 50 + years but now a renovation is a need.The more unacceptable thing is that there is not any blind curtains and specially from the eastern windows the sun is coming to the room awaking you at the sun rise...at 4.30-5.00 am as w...

Definitely the best hotel I have ever visited in recent few years. Staffs are eager to help you. Rooms are extremely comfortable and make my exhaustive trips more relaxed. I booked for Airport Transfer to the hotel and the service was great too. I don't have any negative comment on this. Great choice.

We stayed at the hotel for 1 week over the New Years celebration .... As always you get for what you pay ... Excellent value for money but expect some negatives: - Consierges very rude and give miss, looks like annoyed at every question and given wrong informations all the time. - Poor Amenities - Limousines (BMW) too, too old - Restaurant only one and F/B qua...

Don't expect a smile or politeness of western standards from anyone in the hotel! Excellent view from the suites. Cool with a tub in the room! Breakfast buffet is not included despite the price! But it is sent as roomservice for an acceptable price. Fresh orange juice is recommended. All channels except CNN is in russian, nice LED-flatscree s though. It p...

It's my first time in this Hotel and I have to say that everything is more than OK. I was in a Junior Suit, incredibly confortable and clean. Staff is nice and very friendly. It's near to Metro Station so it's easy to get fast to the center of Moscow. All around there are green zones... It's one of the best Hotel in Moscow if you consider what You pay and what You get....

Fantastic. The best place to start our trip. The staff members are very professionals and attentive. Very good and fluent in english. The hotel is sharing the location area with the Moscow World Center. To go to the main landmarks of the city of Moscow, there are 2 Metro stations near the hotel. The neigbourhood is safe and very quiet. Many local restaurants, markets, ...

Very good, worth staying. There is only one thing I hope to be changed. Sign of shuttle stop. It was that good to be recognized. When I first got outta airport, many taxi drivers tries to cheat me with overprices and wrong location info of the hotel. To be more great hotel near SVO, need to build more signs for travellers. Others are perfect.

Ett hotell som var bygd till Olympiska spelet i Moskva 1980. Ett stort komplex som håller fortfarande tre sjärnig klass trots sina väl använda rum. Ligger nära till tunnelbana och det tar cirka 15 minuter till Moskvas centrum. Med tanken på priser på andra hotell i Moskva är detta hotell ett bra alternativ för dig som vill hålla sig inom budget.

The rooms are tiny in this hostel, but clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very useful, it has everything you need, fridge, cooker, kettle, microwave etc. The shower was clean, good water pressure and hot all the time. We didn't use the washing machine, but I think it is very handy too. very basic, but it worth the money you pay. We stayed there summer time, can't ...

This is a relatively inexpensive hotel near a subway station (30 min to center of Moscow), Moscow Central Cirle station and some nightclubs in its vicinity. The room was small but comfortable and clean. The bathroom was in good state - the plumbing seemed to have been recently installed. Wifi worked fine. The buffet breakfast was good as well.

This particular Izmailovo hotel goes under Best Western brand and it ads quality ( I have stayed in other buildings before so can compare). Very friendly and helpful staff, buffet breakfast was just great with wide selection and options of cold and hot courses. Room price includes also access to pool and fitness in fitness center building right next to it (which was no...

The location is just perfect, near to Paveltskaya Railway station (Aeroexpress to Airport and Railway to St. Peterburg) and also in between 2 metro station (Paveletskaya and Tretyakovskaya). The hotel staff also give us good recommendation to few good restaurant in this area, which were really tasty. The hotel also have sauna and hammam bath facilities that can be use...

I booked the same double queen-bed room on two separate check-in dates in the same week. The room on our first check-in date was exactly the same as advertised on Agoda. I was very happy. Staff speaks good English. The hotel is literally above Mendeleevsky metro station - 3 stops to red square and Kremlin. But, when we came back from St Petersburg and re-checked in th...

Room was really comfortable and clean, and breakfast had great selection and was delicious. We arrived earlier than the check in time and left our bags with them, and their common toilet was clean and comfortable to use. The train station is a slight walk away, but there are trams that stop nearby if you could just check them on Google Maps. I'd stay here again!

I and my mom went to Moscow for New Year Countdown. It's just a short trip 5days and 4nights. We went to Moscow with Russia's National Airline named Aeroflot. I didn't done a lots of research because we didn't have plan to go outside of Moscow. The hotel gave us a very good service. Even we booked a very cheap room that was on sale. Everyday they leave a ton of ...

The hotel is great although my 4 day stay was unfortunately marred by a Yandex taxi and staff security at Soho Rooms nightclub stealing my mobile phone, expensive designer glasses and a reasonable amount of cash. On my return to the hotel, the staff called the police and they came swiftly to make a statement (I'd waited an hour outside Soho Rooms and called 3 times but...

We like this hotel a lot,we've spent seperate two nights there,both of the rooms are lovely,capacious space and warm and it's also not far from the metro,it's easy to be found through google maps,compare the other rooms we booked in Moscow,we like Budapest most.

A very new hotel, located right opposite to the Kiyevskaya Metro station, with convenient transportation to the sceneries of Red Square etc. Also easy to get to the Leninggradskiy train station to St Petersburg. Next to the hotel, there’s a big shopping mall, with a big supper market. Snap shops are also easy to find around. Recommend to take breakfast at the cafe name...
Cheap places to stay in Moskva Federal Subject

Went to Russia for World Cup. This property price is very good if compared to any other places. It's quite far from the venue, but the public transport is not that far. 10 minutes walk only, so I'm ok with that. The staff is nice and friendly even though I didnt speak their language. Room is clean and tidy. Got kitchen to hangout with other traveller.

Honestly I don't know why there're so much bad review about this hostel . So far I stay here even just only 1 night , the staff is really helpful even she's not really good in English . She gave us an early check in without pay anything more (arrived in 6am) , and that's really awesome ! It's really nice ! You know the price is not expensive , so don't ever to expect ...

The place is in a great location, right behind Arbat Street, easy to reach everything with the nearby Metro. We stayed with three people in the tripple room, the room was nice, but it does not have a window and on the first day we were unable to turn off the heating, which made the room really hot. However, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, provided us wit...

Excellent location. Very accessible to metro and public transport. Great hang out place. Rooms are very small for 6 beds, space enough for 1 person to move around the room. Since i am not bothered by noise, i rested well. If this is a concern for you, banging of doors, walking sound from corridors can be heard from my bed.

Nice hotel in a great location. 24hrs reception but most of staff can't speak english. Clean room with curtain seperate you from others. A bit noise at night like a washing machine. (I don't think it's really a washing machine. My room was far from it.) Widely living room with vending machine of snacks and drinks.

Staffs were always nice and friendly to me. Everything was fine except my lost green-coloured korean cleansing stuff for face. I missed to take it to my room after I washed my face at a bathroom two days ago. Yesterday, I tried my best to find it but finally failed. It was never seen anywhere. I just lost it(or somebody took it away...IT'S FOR KOREAN !!!! URGH.) By the...

This is a really nice place. I am very well rested. Was passing in Moscow, then went to St. Petersburg. It is a pity that could not stay longer. I recommend this hostel. Very clean. The staff works 24 hours a day. You can pay with credit cards. Close to the subway and from the centre.

The location is great. It is two stations away from red square. The facilities are good. The bathroom is cozy, quilt and sheet are clean. The public area is good and big enough. Especially the food provided is also good. I like the fried rice and noodles. In Moscow most Russians can not speak any English, even one word. I stayed for 4 days and I could barely communicat...

My sister and I stayed here for 3 nights. Very clean, nice beds. We could hear a bass beat all half the night from the club below, but ear plugs made the difference. While the staff was very nice, don't expect a lot of advise or help from many of them. We were the only english speakers staying - it seems they don't have many english speakers, and not many of the staff ...

Really comfortable and super conveniently located hostel, with very nice staff. The spacious sleeping boxes with thick curtain are makes for a nice, undisturbed sleep. The lockers for personal items were quite adequate. Very clean for the hostel, cleaning was every day. I will definitely stay here again!

If you looking for where we can sleep with cheap price and good location, I have to recommend this place, Hostelmin 5th floor wide restrooms small kitchen but no living area we have to utilize with kitchen. However bedroom is satisfied for me 2 plugs each bed. 3 Metro 5 mins from hostel the best of the best location

Stay pleasant, but confusing. Almost no English spoken. couldn't get any local information from staff (which is half the point of staying at hostel) Also it was difficult to find the place. The map of the website was pointing to a sister hostel at the other end of Arbat st Once you have found it, and got your bearings, the location is good

Pros - close to the centre, next door to Sokolniki Park and Metro Station, next door to supermarkets, restaurants and bars, excellent hotel comforts and facilities. Excellent response to maintenance issues. Ego breakfast section for those who want to feel more superior than the others and have the added champagne/vodka and slab of honeycombe in the bar rather than in t...

We were served by a non-experienced and irresponsible receptionist. His English and attitude are poor. Although we presented him the hotel voucher, he still asked us where is the confirmation number and said unable to find our booking. Then requested us to contact Agoda and almost want to ask us to leave. Luckily we finally had his manager to manage our check in. But ...

Where else could you stay in Moscow in a delightfully comfortable and attractive hotel and be one minute from a metro station: Kievskaya. I lived in this neighborhood from 2005 to 2011 and walked to Kievskaya every day. When the hotel was built, I decided that I wanted to stay in it one day on returning to Moscow. I was not disappointed. The price was very reasona...

The room was very nice with Russian style. The bathroom was very clean and the water pressure was good. Though - the walls were very thin, you could here coughing loud and clear, also the phone call our neighbour called was easily heard. The breakfast included and was adequate though it wasn't anything special. The Sukharevsky metro station was nearby, so it was easy t...

Very good in general with one exception (which is not a big deal), ie., turn your google map to help Uber or taxi driver as it is hidden behind main streets and we had every single driver misisng the turn into the small lane ways that leads to the Hotel. Best if you can pass the phone to let the Hotel staff to speak to Uber driver in Russian to make things easier!

The Hotel Gallery (remember to learn how is written in Cyrillic alphabet, since I had some problem to find it out when I got outside the tube station...) is located just above the orange metro station, so you can reach the city centre very easily. I had some problem during the chekc-in, because they told me they changed (arising) the tarifs the week before, but I didn'...

DTH is great place to stay! some distance from Vodniy and Voykovskaya metro stations, but the package you get is worth 10 min walk. Breakfast is amazing, various dishes on all tastes. Great place for business travelers as hotel provides big number of meeting rooms of all sizes. Rooms themselves are very comfortable. In some of the you can find both shower and a tab. Ho...

It’s a wonderful hotel with facilities which you need, at which you could find nice foods, restaurants as well as convenient stores and nice coffees. And it’s just next to the metro station. For another thing, the people in the hotel are very friendly, nice and helpful. I did a very early check in to enjoy more in this hotel. I would highly recommend it to my friends....

This hotel is very close to belarusskaya station, which is where the aeroexpress fro SVO will take you to. Our plane landed fairly late so we found this hotel very convenient for our late arrival time. Also, Tverskaya street has excellent night view. There are a lot of supermarkets and banks near this hotel which are good for exchanging currencies/finding snacks. There...

Just 150m. from Tverskaya Metro Station (2 stations from downtown AeroExpress) or less than 3 mins walk. So many cafes, restaurants, KFC, McDonald, Starbuck, pubs, .......... around there. We took 15 mins to walk to red square whick pass H&M and so many shopping shops. The room’s very good and comfortable. We stay on 6 floor street side with the view of Seven Sister St...

The hotel is very easy to find and is located in a very nice location, except being a little far away from the nearest metro station. The staffs were all very friendly and most of them speak good English. The room was cozy and nice! I would recommend this to my friends if they are going to visit Moscow!

This hotel is very far from everything so if you decide to go with them than be prepared to spend money on taxis. if you do need a taxi do not get one directly from the hotel. they left me 30 min before reaching my destination because the driver did not know where he was going and his phone had died. However George the manager was extremely helpful and he did his best ...

This is a good hotel in an excellent location. The staff is very helpful. Good breakfast and free internet connection. The only bad thing was the bed. It was very very soft. It might be OK if you are very young but my back is in pain. The hotel might have been a 5 star when it was open. I would say 4 stars. Still, very good value for money with Agoda.

Visited Moscow with wife on Vacation, had a splendid time. The hotel was exceptional with very active and friendly staff. Had inadvertently left my phone in a Taxi, the staff was clever to retrieve the phone within the hour. Definitely shall recommend the hotel. Will becoming back.

This hotel is best. Location was great.. Room you will fall in love.. We came and baby coat is already inside our room. The room is spacious, very clean, bed very comfortable. Service.. their service is the best.. I gave 10 star. F.o.c for the invitation letter. Within 30 minute your invitation letter is ready. The reservation department is very responsive. Staff here ...

I have to say that i'm extremely satisfied about the service we received during our stay at Mamaison. Not only all the staff is amazing but the hotel itself is well designed and ultra-clean. with our 2.5 years daughter it was a very good choice of location and hotel setup itself. the restaurant is great and the spa and pool are good to relax ! we will definitly come b...

Do not stay anywhere else in Moscow. Awesome palace/ hotel . Five minutes walk to the metro and just four stops from the red square. Huge rooms and the most friendly staff especially Vlad the conceage. Sitting in the palace outside courtyard drinking tea is the best experience ever. No need to even go outside to enjoy the lovely place. Don't think twise and book now.

Quality at every turn, from the food, decor, furnishings, bedding... They don't do many things but everything they do is executed with perfection. The polar exact opposite of chain hotels and a lesson to fussy and badly executed "boutique" hotels.

Nice living choice for business purpose, the hotel has the business lounge that can be used as free facility for thr swiss business executive room guest. However it is also good option to stay for sightseeing and shoping purpose. Between your busy business time you can enjoy the hotel as one of Moscow landmark as it has city sky lounge to see Moscow city light. Besides...

As expected of Marriot 5 star level of service. Engaging front desk, and never fail to ensure to explain the hotel facilities available, Concierge staff were very resourceful and helpful to plan our 4 days itinerary, plus even to secure last minute theater tickets.

I have always like Kempinski because of the room comfort, they have one of the best bedding and pillows, and the services provided. I booked for a superior room and the room is really spacious. Adequate room amenities. They have a free shoe polish service daily. I have not tried any of the restaurant in Kempinski hence can't comment on the F&B quality. The location is ...

The Hotel is one of the best hotels , the location is great , near to shopping malls, kids mall, everything is near, pharmacy, daily shop for groceries, and lots more. There is a good restaurant with kids corner. Near by coffee shops. The rooms are big size and clean.

This is the 2nd time we stayed at the hotel, after our trip to Saint Petersburg and we got upgraded to a huge suite with 3 separate large rooms, very large guest room with sofas and TV, dining rooms enough for 6 people, comfortable sleeping room. And the view from the windows are spectacular, Redsquare, Kremlin and also from afar the Church Of Christ the Saviour can b...

This is one of the best hotel rooms I've ever stayed in. It was a total value for money. The location is not that great, since it's around 7-8 mins walking from the closest metro station, but the facilities and room make up for the location.

The square has been the stage for grand parades, protests, and celebrations, making it a living testament to the city’s evolution over the centuries.

Each corner of the Kremlin tells a story, showcasing the architectural brilliance and historical significance that have shaped Moskva's identity.
