The best accommodations Russia

A small intimate establishment, situated in a quiet and pleasant area, near the Arbat street. But the hotel would need a renovation because everything seems a little old. And it's a bit expensive for the benefits offered.

Good value for money for this hotel with easy access to central Moscow.

One of Moscow's big, very big hotels, the famous Soviet Cosmos is located right across the street from the VDNKh. The Cosmos is a strange building. A tower as high as it is wide in the shape of an arc of a circle and which, at nightfall, sparkles with blue. It houses a concert hall (shows and performances are usually interesting), the oldest nightclub in Moscow, and many inter devochkas waiting for the lonely businessman in the hotel bars. Nevertheless, the Cosmos remains comfortable. The rooms are large and well-equipped.

A complex in the centre of the city. The reception is not really cute, but the house is serious and lively, thanks to the diversity of leisure offered (bar, restaurant).

This hotel on the quay is a cheap address.

A little eccentric in the city centre, the hotel has a swimming pool with sauna and Jacuzzi, a restaurant, bowling, billiards and a bar. The rooms are spacious, in a very modern decor, but a little dark. There is no lift in the hotel.
