My choice of the hotel in Moscow was determined strictly by the budget. I stayed in Moscow for 5 days and picked this hotel about a week before my arrival. I found interesting that August is not the season for packed hotels in Moscow and the rates for the hotels can be quite competitive.
Regarding the hotel itself - the food served for breakfast was great and fresh! It mattered a lot to me since you got to be cautious in a new country. The service was not excellent but good enough and I spent most of my time in town and it did not bother me a lot. The room was clean and neat, and the location was good enough when I found out that there were small shuttles driving around and picking up people on the street side whenever you wave to them and that was quick and I did not feel that the location was that bad. All in all, I would recommend this hotel to people looking for budget style but nice service hotel with a good breakfast. more
