Hotels near Saint Basil's Cathedral, Moscow

I had a very disappointing experience with this hotel. I had clearly booked and fully paid for a Suite room in advance through Trip, but upon arrival, the staff gave me a small room. They initially claimed that their system did not show my Suite booking and even said that I had not made any payment, which was very frustrating since I had already paid in full before my arrival. After some discussion, they finally confirmed that my payment was received. However, I was too tired to continue arguing about the suite room, so I ended up staying in the smaller room. What made things worse, I had already tried to contact the hotel one month before my arrival via Telegram and email to confirm my booking, but I never received any response. The only positive point is that the staff were personally kind and still helped me carry my suitcase upstairs, since there is no lift in the hotel.

The staff are courteous. The room is clean, with daily housekeeping, plenty of power outlets, an iron, ironing board, tea, and water. The breakfast was a pleasant surprise, a buffet with a good variety and delicious options. The hotel's location is excellent, close to a metro station, bus stop, a 24-hour supermarket, and Sokolniki Park.

This hotel is okay overall, the air conditioning equipment is a bit old, does not affect the heating, the space is okay, the bathroom space is also relatively large, no other reviews said of discrimination against the Chinese to rooms with roof windows. A little worried before going, went to the 2nd floor given after, normal room, was relieved. However, the double room bed is indeed too narrow. If you turn over too much when sleeping, you will fall off the bed. The variety of breakfast is average. It is more convenient to go to the exhibition here. A few dozen meters outside the door is the Line 3 subway station.

Spacious room, comfortable bed, free hammam and sauna in the spa. The minibar included water and tea sets. The location is super convenient, just a 5-minute walk from Delovoy Tsentr metro station. My room didn't include breakfast, so I couldn't try out the restaurant.

I always choose Arbat Star for my business trips. The hotel is located in the city center, right next to Lotte Shopping Center and Hotel Ukraina. The service is excellent; both the front desk and housekeeping staff are very warm and helpful, patiently assisting with any issues. The hotel offers a rich breakfast. I had a very comfortable stay!

Facilities: This is a well-established hotel. While it offers all the essential amenities, its style and decor definitely show their age. Cleanliness: The hygiene conditions were excellent, and daily housekeeping was very thorough. Location: Situated very centrally in Moscow, it boasts convenient transportation and lovely views. The only slight drawback is the occasional noise from motorcycles roaring past outside the window, but I understand this is often unavoidable in such a prime location. Service: My interaction with the service staff was limited due to a language barrier and not having opted for breakfast, so I can't comment extensively on their service quality.

This place is perfect for solo travelers – it's affordable, and the location is great, right by a subway station. I actually came here on a recommendation. The mattress is really comfortable and springy. Just make sure not to disturb other guests during your stay. The only downside is that the washer and dryer are really inconvenient to use, especially if you don't understand Russian and haven't used them before. Plus, you only get an hour and a half to use them, which feels a bit rushed.

Our room was on the 27th floor, facing the city, with a distant view of Moscow's city center. My partner absolutely loved it! The hotel was much better than we expected, and the price was excellent – really good value for money. I was a bit worried about outdated facilities after reading some reviews, but everything was actually fine. It's clean, and for just over 300 rubles a night in Moscow, what more could you ask for? This is a 4-star hotel, and the room was well-equipped. The only minor issues were a slight smell from the drain and noisy neighbors who started making a racket around 5 or 6 in the morning. Otherwise, we were very satisfied. We stayed for five nights. There's a 'Green Supermarket' nearby, which was convenient for daily shopping and our favorite grocery store. Izmaylovsky Market (Antiques Market) is right next door, so we could pop back to the hotel to rest when we got tired of browsing. Getting to Red Square is super easy – just take Metro Line 3 directly, no transfers needed. The metro station is about a five or six-minute walk away. If I ever come back to Moscow, I'd definitely stay here again.

Recently, due to interference from Ukrainian drones, GPS near Red Square has been nearly ineffective and stuck. I wandered around several times before finally reaching the riverside, where I found this single, two-story yellow building based on the pictures in the comments section. It's easy to find Red Square from the hotel; just a few blocks away, you can see the Onion-domed Church in the distance. On the way back, I didn't even need to check my phone's navigation because it was broken! First, the front desk lady spoke English. While waiting in line to check in, I wanted to see the hotel's amenities, but she immediately stopped me, raised her hands, and greeted me with a ”Hello.” Actually, I had to wear shoe covers to enter the hotel area. When it was my turn to check in, I spoke very little English, but she slowly explained the hotel rules to me and showed me the bathrooms, showers, and shared kitchen. Even with my limited English, I understood most of what she said. When I checked out, she was very welcoming and smiled, welcoming me back in English. Second, the hotel was much cleaner than I expected, with many attractive young people staying there, and everyone was very polite and didn't bother anyone.

Quite good, but, shit, add quite a little and the impressions will be much better. Very lacking towels, soap gel and normal cups and glasses, even if you use one-time dishes, don't buy the cheapest, it immediately deforms as you pour hot water.
