Location is great. We were performing at the famous Yeltsin Center, which was across the street - 3 minute walk.
We walked into the center of town each night to go to the mall and cafes.
Try Mamas cafe if you get the chance. 1 block down from the mall.
Breakfast: excellent spread
People were paying to come here for breakfast that weren’t guests of the hotel.
Our rate included breakfast.
Rooms:
They circular headboards wrap around the room which look very cool, but between that and the circular closet which becomes a huge column in the middle of the room, it’s not a great use of space.
Bathrooms BEWARE
Toilet is a separate WC. Shower is all glass and whoever is in the room with you can see you shower.
You wouldn’t be able to share a room with someone that wasn’t your partner.
LOBBY: lobby is nice. Has a bar
The negative is the security and metal detector that you have to go through each time you enter the hotel. All of your bags need to get X-ray’d each time. It’s a small inconvenience, but seems unnecessary
Karaoke: there was karaoke in the main door club most of the 5 nights we stayed there. It didn’t bother us in our rooms which were on higher floors.
Just FYI. We went to the front desk one day to ask for change -we only had larger Rubles and they acted like we were asking a lot. We changed the equivalent of $30 USD into smaller bills, then when the next person asked to do the same, they said they didn't have any change.
We called for a taxi to Greenwich mall it was approx $10 USD - we charged it to our room
