My trip to Moscow was at very short notice (booked Tuesday, arrived Saturday morning). Our corporate travel agents booked me into this hotel, and I was expecting a basic room, based on the photos on their website. I had a double room booked, and I think I was upgraded to an executive King - I was staying for 8 nights.... More

I stayed at this hotel for a week long meeting. The hotel was beautiful! The only thing that I did not enjoy was the service in the main restaurant. About 22 of us came one evening 30 minutes before the restaurant closed to eat. There was no other place to eat nearby without having to use a taxi, and the... More

Very close to Red Square, old fashioned, a little bit overwhelming (draperies, very high ceilings) but with a breathtaking dining room (where breakfast is served). A wonderful glass-ironed ceiling More

Stayed solo for 5 nights at the hotel Metropol in October. My first time at Metropol. Very fancy public areas. Quite expensive. Expensive minibar (there are kiosks near the hotel on the left side and outside the tube. Fairly good breakfast with harp music. I would say that the service is "business as usual" in Russia, something that you get... More

Building looks impressive and location is perfect. Old world charm, also indoors. But seems not much has been done to the property or service for ages. Standard rooms ok, but nothing special. TV remote control not working, no wake-up calls. Free wifi in the rooms, but you have to go ask reception for the passcode, for some reason they don't... More

I spent 5 days here in April 2011 with my partner and 2 kids aged 15 and 12. The hotel does have a lot going for it. The location next to Red Square and the Bolshoi Theater is great; the building itself and its interior are spectacular; the guest rooms were generous; and breakfast was a special treat in the...

Back to old Soviet Union... Huge lobby scarce staff. The room was quite large and comfortable (I had been upgraded was I told) Free wifi in the lobby but 500 rubles (12€) for 1 hour in the room ! Breakfast is served in a huge ballroom accompanied by the harpist.. Location is very convenient... More

The best location (by Red Square, and opposit the Bolshoi) and real old style. The staff were all very helpful (before and during the visit e.g. in providing the documentation for visas), and the concierge service was great in booking the ballet and taxis etc. The breakfast is out of this world.....the food is superb, the setting is memorable(with a...

The main reasons I stayed at this hoel was the location next to Red Square and the history of the hotel. Location wise , this hotel is at a prime location and is walking distance to Red Square. As for the hotel reception staff, not the friendliest I have ever encountered, but they were not rude either. I did not... More
