Next month I'll be traveling in Russia, and I will finally have chance to see Moscow outside the airport for a few days. Does anyone one know of a good hotel in the city center? Nothing fancy. I'd just like something fairly cheap and clean. I'll be with my wife and 2 teenage kids.
Спасибо!
Sorry, but there is no cheap hotels in Moscow city center. All of them, even ugly ones, are expensive as fvck.Quote:

Perhaps you can find a flat to rent that is cheaper.
This is called "квартиры на сутки" in Russian, so you can search for that, for Moscow, or search in English and get an English speaking service that may or may not be more expensive. If you really need something cheaper, then that is at least worth trying.
As Hanna said, rent a flat may be cheaper.
You can search online on the website Wimdu, some friends of mine used it and said great things about it.
Thanks for the suggestion...I'll look into that.
If you want a really good value holiday in a Russian speaking country, then go to Belarus instead of Russia, or perhaps Ukraine.
I am staying at a hotel which has the standard of Holiday Inn at the moment. The price is 25 Euro per night.:"": I think that's about 40 USD.
The fact that I did not get a visa to Russia is probably a very good thing for my savings account....
Moscow has the most expensive hotel accomodation in Europe. Avg=$215.

You can find a private apartment to stay at, usually with the hosts! The hosts will be locals and will be happy to get to know you and help you out.
The site where you can see the listings is Vacation rentals, private rooms, sublets by the night - Accommodations on Airbnb
But it may be a bit difficult if you are travelling with the whole family.
May be it makes sense to take the hotel not in the center itself, but very close to the transport (subway). It can be much cheaper than in the city center, though will offer you the flexibility to visit attractions whenever you wish.
I agree with Andronet. I loved taking the metro BUT only had to take it one time during rush hour. All of our other trips were in the middle of the day.

And this might suit you too. Quiet city cenre. But you'll have to walk 20 min to Red square.

And another one. My friends parents were happy to live in it.

And this one. Cheap. But not very close to centre. I've been there just once and just in sport club. Seemed clean, but a bit shabby place.

some years ago i stayed a AKVAREL, Stoleshnikov Lane
very central, I found it very pleasant
small hotel
price in Moscow central is never cheap, but at the time it was reasonable compared to other hotels in the area
not sure if it is still there
The hotel has a website, you can just call and ask "Hey are you guys still open?" :PQuote:
