We stayed at this hotel on the final night of our recent honeymoon. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a lot of character and charm - the pianist who plays even at breakfast is wonderful! The only problem with the hotel itself is location, a good 15 minute walk from the metro and far from the centre and attractions. But... more

OK, Moscow is expensive but this hotel knows how to milk it. Not a bad location, 10 mins walk from Dynamo metro. Rooms good but not opulent (for $200 a night I expect more than just CNN, one plug, a pretty poor bathroom etc) - not all the staff speak english, only some of the reception staff do. DO NOT... more

The Sovietsky is truly like going back in time with an over imposing facade and a grand and retro interior. The rooms are a little worn and perhaps shabby but it adds to the amience. We arrived at the hotel very late at night after our flight had been redirected. We were allocated a room with twin beds after we... more

This was my second stay in the wonderful Sovietsky Hotel and again I was just so impressed by the unique atmosphere on offer. We stayed over Christmas and new Year 2007-8 - a time when the hotel was not busy so we had a very nice superior room for less than £100 per night - Great value in the most... more

Stayed 2 nights at a weekend and booked direct with the hotel to get their special weekend offer rate which was fantastic value compared to other Moscow hotels. Bookimg was easy on the website where they have a facility that they call you back once you submit your phone number via the internet. Service at the hotel is good, we... more

This hotel was absolutely gorgeous. We upgraded to a deluxe room as it wasn't much more expensive, and we were very happy. The rooms were very nice, well decorated, if a little old in style. Moscow is notoriously expensive for hotels, so we expected very little for the money we paid, and actually found this hotel to be quite good... more

If you are looking for a slice of Soviet luxury, this is the place. Although the location isn't perfect (about 10 mins walk from the nearest tube, and not a walk we wanted to do in the dark - so inevitably some overpriced taxis are needed), everything else is top notch. Service is attentive, from the welcoming glass of champagne... more

Taking into account that this hotel is in Moscow, which lacks medium-class hotels, it was quite nice. Hotel is decorated retro-style, maybe to hide it's being oldfashioned. The buffet breakfast is included and quite normal, though very small. As an advantage a location can be mentioned, as it is just some blocks away from Tverskaya, and if you like walking... more

Our stay at this hotel was very good. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The public areas of the hotel are quite grand and extremely well looked after. Our room on the first floor was large and comfortable - old fashioned in style as you might expect but extremely clean in all areas. Good sized bathroom and excellent... more
