We have just returned from our two weeks journey through Russia and I can tell that this room was more komfortable of all hotels we have been.Great view from 24th floor at Izmailovo park.Check in was very fast and staff also gave us a room key before 11:00 am and that was so kind. Location is very good and only... more

This hotel is very far away from the Airport ($90usd on Taxi each way) and Red Aquare. Once I arrived at the hotel the Front Desk took a long time to check me in (like 30 minutes) and was not friendly to English speaking guests.

The arts and crafts... more

I went with my school and we stayed in the Alfa block. The first thing you notice is the size of the place it is massive! The staff - mostly whom only speak russian - were rude, impolite and unhelpful, for example i wanted a phone card to phone england and i said (in russian) would it work, i got... more
