Less glitzy than the others- more of a Mucovite- not surprising, due to its history. Feel. Staff friendly, and very helpful- if somewhat short of fluency in English( for an international hotel)
The place was impeccably clean and the bathrooms well-appointed. Of course, the main hall, used only for breakfast( or for private functions), is splendid; as was the breakfast buffet- more style than the usual 5star hotel chains.
Also, it is so convenient for the Metro, Bolshoi, Kremlin and Red Square .
I would, certainly, stay there again
