Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- NatSt. Petersburg, FL3 contributionsVery comfortable and fast. Very friendly staff. We traveled business class to St Petersburg and economy back to Moscow. Both ways were excellent, the chairs were comfortable and enough space for legs.Written 22 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SteviefullKidderminster, UK2,141 contributionsOne of the last things we did using the Moscow City Card was take the cable car from by the Luzniki stadium (a fair walk from the metro) over to Sparow Hills and back. The journey was probably only 30 minutes total but was relaxing and a nice way to see some of the sites we had visited earlier in our holiday.
When we were there (August 2019) a lot of building work was being carried out on the Sparow Hills side and it looked like a ski slope was being built, so by now it could be fully operational.
Not top of the list of things to do, but well worth a visit especially if you are staying a few days and have a Moscw City Pass Card.Written 8 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We recognised the station on trip advisor, but realised that it was listed as the Smolenskaya Railway Station, which was it's name when it first opened in 1870. The station is connected to the Sheremetyevo Airport by Aeroexpress trains which take 40 minutes, and depart every half hour between 5:00 am to 0:30 am. It is a great area to start exploring Moscow, as Red Square is 3 1/2 kilometers south of the station, and can be easily reached by taking the Belorussky subway Green Line. This station was the sixth railway station built in Moscow, and is a great example of Russian architecture of the 19th century.
The station has a very interesting history. In 1871, the rail lines were extended to Belarus, and the station was renamed the Brest Station. The station hosted a visit of Czar Nicholas II (the last czar) in 1896. The station underwent major reconstruction between 1907-1912. The architect was I Strukov, who did a design that increased the size of the station threefold, and added the angular section to the right, known as the Tsar's Corner. This is the section where aeroexpress tickets are sold today. At this time it was recognised as a modern station, and was the first station in Moscow to have printed ticketing machines. In 1912, the station was again re-named "Alexander Station", in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the war with Napoleon. In 1922, it was renamed, the Belorussian-Baltic station, in recognition of the extension of the line, and finally in 1936, it's name was changed to the current name, Belorussky Station.
The station is closely linked to memories of both WW1 and WW2, as troops and supplies departed from this station to the front, and the wounded returned to Moscow via this station. There is a popular sculpture in the station courtyard (to the left of the station), which is titled "Farewell of Slavic woman" which captures the moment of a lady saying goodbye to her soldier. In 1941, four days after the German invasion, the station hosted the performance of the song “Holy war”, which became the unofficial war anthem of the Soviets. There is a grey plaque to the right of the main entrance of the station that commemorates this event. In 1945, after victory in Berlin, the first direct train from Berlin to Moscow arrived here to much fanfare, as it carried the victorious soldiers.
If you are interested in Russian military and railway history, a visit here is a must. There are many attractions within walking distance, including the Church of Nikolaya Chudotvortsa, Maxim Gorky statue, Alexander Fadeev sculpture, Museum of Russian Impressionism, Russian National Museum of Music, Anatoly Zverev Art Museum and the Gallery of Painting Art.Written 11 November 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The view along the way was great!
1. Facilities: there were hot water for drinking, but it ran out quite quickly. Toilets were clean and the cabinet was decent. There was a top and bottom bunk. There were individual lights for reading. The cabinet was slightly stuffy as the window was small (understandable, since Russia is cold most of the time). The lower bunks sofas were able to flip down to transform into beds.
2. Cleanness: since the beds/sofas were velvet, there were some dusts but bearable. The sheets, blankets and pillows were clean. The toilet was alright.
3. Sleep: was alright, but often got woken up when the train stopped at large stations and the PA system kept announcing loudly, which maybe a put off to some people.
4. Eat: our package included dinner. Do not expect anything, it's similar to flight meals. So do bring some food on board if you wish to have a decent filling meal.
Overall, a good experience.Written 30 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Triptopersia-AgentShiraz, Iran143 contributionsI used this train company for Moscow- SP, and back.
The train seats are very comfortable, the staff are kind.
The only negative point was there were no refreshments on board for passengers, not even free water.
The food that we could buy was rather expensive (which is normal for trains though)
We ordered food and the quality was not good enough. the portion was also smallWritten 20 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Last time I did it was in December. Together with my friends from Paris (French). I lived in that city for four years and know very well how reprehensible this means of transportation is there. They were shocked. Such state-of-the-art thingy in Moscow?
Yes, my dear! By many standards Russian capital is far ahead of the reality you live in.
The railway is interconnected with metro to such an extent that you pay just once, irrespective of which network you use or whether you make a change. The price for a one-way ticket is ridiculous - 40 roubles (half a Dollar, forty British pence). Envy, envy!
Navigation is bilingual - in Russian and in English - both as signs and verbal (announcements in cars). Change to subway and vice versa is usually smooth with an exception of several cases when you have to walk in the streets. But these are quite rare.
Recommended! Modern, comfy, cozy, reliable.Written 13 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But that doesn't mean it's actually good. It's painfully slow, and the cars are always packed full. Still, it's cheap enough, and relatively convenient. So there you go.Written 1 April 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Peter LLondon, UK45 contributionsIts the only way to really see the contrast of the Steppes of Mongolia with the almost surreal growth of China. The border is reached at Erlan around 9pm after a full days journey. A massive modern station where the entire train is decamped to go through Chinese Immigration. Finger prints , Photos , Visas . Followed by a 4 hour wait whilst they change the bogeys as the rail gauge is different between Mongolia and China
First Class definitely worth the extra cost with private bathroom and only 2 per compartment as opposed to 4 in standard class.
A big word of caution. The Mongolian Dining Car, whilst looking very ornate and traditional is a rip off. They charge $15US for breakfast , consisting of a small omelette , a small slice of bread and marmalade and a cup of coffee. The price in Mongolian MNT is no more than $2. Dinner at US$26 is even worse! Take your own food or buy at stations on the way. The train has a timetable in each carriage to show how long its stops for. Usually about 10-15 minutes
Once in Chima there is a modern dining car, with Chinese food. Just about OK and about US $3-5 dollarsWritten 28 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I appreciated Nikolay's skills as a driver - his confident and assertive driving in the manic Moscow traffic was very reassuring to us, his passengers. I really appreciated his professionalism and helpfulness in sorting this trip out.Written 22 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
