Thread: mosocw hotels

silly question seeing as i reside in moscow but still. my friends dad is coming to moscow on business and was asking about cheapish hotels of good, comfortable standard, like the travel lodge chain for example.
seeing as i live in a flat and have never stayed in a hotel in moscow im not really in a position to comment, so how much do you muscovite hotel lovers think a nice, not elite place would cost per night? (i warned him it would probably be expensive as the middle class is not exactly the market they target)

I think a hotel in Moscow of the western Travel Lodge standard would be quite expensive.

ok, thanks,hotel baikal not looking too bad

Sevastopol sucks. Personnel is unfriendly like in old Soviet time when they think they do you a favor letting stay at their hotel. Breakfast included in price room is shitty and the same each day. You can choose either eggs or sausages but not together. The only good thing is that the room was really big, actually there were 2 rooms and a room for baggage and a lot of closets. Oh and an air conditioner which came in handy when it was 30+C outside. And I lived in their best building. So I suggest not to stay there.

I usually don't stay at hotels in Moscow, I prefer staying with friends so I don't know a lot about hotels but I can suggest Izmaylovo Hotel, Building "Delta". The room cost from like $120 (standard).

The official site http://www.izmailovo.ru/eng/rooms.php looks kinda out of date but there's a lot of other booking sites/companies. The hotel is located not in the center of Moscow but not too far. You can get there by subway (Партизанская/Partizanskaya station, blue line) it's like 20 minutes from the city center and a 5-10 minute walk from the subway station to the hotel.

A couple booking companies I found on the net which have English version:

For about $12 you can have a great breakfast. You come in a huge hall full of all kind of dishes and you can choose any amount of any dishes and eat it for hours till you can't stand from the table :)
