Staff was very accommodating and fluent in English. Very helpful with any questions or concerns. Breakfast offered a good selection of items. The room, while a bit older, was clean and housekeeping did an excellent job in keeping items stocked and the room well maintained.
The location was terrific, about 3 blocks to the Metro. The side street is a bit "sketchy" in the evening with some homeless men hanging around, however, I walked it after dark several times with no trouble at all.
Actually can walk- about 20 minutes or so- to Red Square on very walkable streets along the Moscow River.
My only complaint was that the wifi in my room was very weak. I often had to stand in the doorway to get a signal. However, in the lobby of the hotel, the wifi was excellent.
If I ever get a chance to return to Moscow, I will stay here again.
