Vnukovo Village Park Hotel&Spa

A fascinating place, within Moscow city limits, yet nestled in a cozy natural setting. Perfect for a comfortable, relaxing getaway: barbecue by the water with beautiful views, a pool/sauna/fitness center, short daytime and evening walks, live music for the soul—everything is within easy reach, and you don't have to venture far.

I haven't seen such atrocity in a long time. It's hard to find something like this in Moscow. I judged it by the rather high price and relied on a photo aggregator without double-checking the reviews on Yandex Maps; it's a very fun place there and all the bad reviews are true. The hotel reeked of smoke and sewage. It was the worst thing from the post-perestroika era. The furniture was a masterpiece in itself. Apparently, they bought all sorts of furniture from ruined gypsy hotels by weight, like second-hand items. The room didn't match the one listed in the reservation. It started snowing, and a snowdrift formed outside the window because the windows wouldn't close properly. The manager, after much arguing, gave me a room, but it was clear she'd given me the best I had (kudos to her for that). The price of the room has no bearing on its quality. And if you're horrified and change your mind about checking in, you won't get a refund.
