This hotel used to belong to Alrosa, the important Russian diamond company. It still feels very much like a private company hotel rather than a commercial one. The staff are extremely friendly but not trained to a professional level. Breakfast you fill out your order form and the whole process takes time. Its a bit more efficient if you go into the dining room rather than sit near the bar. Coffee and orange juice are excellent - everything else is well rather Russian. We had a corporate lunch there and it was truly excellent. so if they have to they can . Bedrooms are large. My one - you could not see the TV from the bed and you could not turn off main lights from the bed. The books were all about Alrosa and in Russian. Decoration lets say Russian corporate. Finally it is located in a nice area close to the Tretyakov gallery, 10.15 mins from the Balschug and 25 on foot from the Kremlin. Providing you are happy with Russian service and do not get angry with people who have limited English or cannot serve your egg a la the West, this is a perfectly comfortable and very reasonable hotel. I enjoyed my stay.

“So much more interesting than a typical business hotel”

I've been underwhelmed with experiences with hotels in Moscow, so I wanted to try something a little different. This hotel is small (in terms of number of rooms), with a large open reception area.

I've been underwhelmed with experiences with hotels in Moscow, so I wanted to try something a little different. This hotel is small (in terms of number of rooms), with a large open reception area. It also has a nice pool and sauna. The price you pay compares very well with prices of typical chain hotels, but it struck me as very friendly as well as good value. It has its quirks (in theory you order your breakfast the night before by filling in a form) but breakfast is good and freshly prepared. I normally avoid hotel restaurants, but this was the exception - in a four night stay I ate twice in the restaurant and both times I was pleased that I had. They have a speciality for Northern cuisine - some really interesting raw fish dishes, and a small selection of vodkas at very reasonable prices. I will return!

“Charming with friendly staff”

Nice hotel, full of charm and an attractive antidote to soulless business travel. I got a big suite on the first floor for the price of a regular room, free Wifi, comfortable big bed and nice views of snow capped 19th century Moscow buildings all around (this was February).

Nice hotel, full of charm and an attractive antidote to soulless business travel. I got a big suite on the first floor for the price of a regular room, free Wifi, comfortable big bed and nice views of snow capped 19th century Moscow buildings all around (this was February). Friendly staff too and good value. It's a 30 minute walk up to Red Square and the Kremlin, but pretty direct and easy walking.

“Régi divatos szálloda”

A szálloda szép, a szobák tiszták, de a régi stílusban. A személyzet kedves, nem mindegyik angolul beszél.  4 csillag tűnik túl sokat, több mint 3 csillagos. A reggeli jó volt, de nem büfé. Tehát 15-20 percig kellett megrendelnie egy egyszerű kontinentális reggelit.
