Kutuzovsky Executive Suite, Moscow , Russia

Worth every penny

We stayed there for a week and liked it a lot. Having travelled to Russia on a regular basis with Moscow being the most expensive city in the world we are used to paying top dollars for luxury hotels providing comfort, location and services to business travellers like us. This time we wanted to try something different though and see if we could pay less without compromising the quality. Found this place on the Internet and decided to give it a shot. Our 2-bedroom in the very center of Moscow with easy access to main attractions and proximity to subway station was very comfortable and clean for much less than we normally pay for a hotel with similar amenities. Their staff was truly accommodative, promptly responded to our requests and helped with our questions how to get around the city. All in all - great value for what you are getting, I cannot think of anything I didn't like about the place.

Excellent location, easy transport to any major attraction, the ambience of a clean Scandinavian design, in other words, a classy alternative to overpriced beehive of a Mariot or Sheraton, thank you, management

Last time I visited Moscow about 3 years ago. Stay in Kempinski was enjoyable though a bit pricey. This time around I had to bring a colleague of mine who literally freaked out at the first sight of their pricing (not to say I was not surprised). I guess they pegged prices to Euro, plus inflation etc. - our 3 nights would cost us close to 5000! Long story short, my local contact pointed me to this apartment. Short phone conversation (in decent English) and we're on our way. Very fresh and clean interior perfectly isolated from the street noise. Cutlery, dishes, kettle, microwave, hi-speed Internet, cable TV, etc. - whole works. Tea/coffee, cereal/milk (our choice) and what not - all supplied by our host within 1/2 hr at the "street rate" plus tip vs. @20 per cup of tea in the hotel. Well ... first floor, room service is not offered, and we had to share the washroom (nice one, but still - sharing isn't for everyone) and do the dishes. Given that we had shared a fishing boat before and were saving a truckload of greenbacks it did not bother us a bit. The location turned out quite smart too - 5 min walk from Radisson (with its restaurants, business centre, etc.) and next to Kutuzovsky which these days in Moscow turns out to be the only airport bound street that has cars actually moving. All in all - great value in a civilized package.

We have a client in Russia, so I usually fly to Moscow for business once or twice per year. I stayed there on my recent visit and loved the place! It's a super-comfortable 2-bedroom apartment in one of the best central areas of Moscow. The apartment was very safe and secure, and the quality of rooms and furniture was excellent. They had broadband Internet and satellite TV, full kitchen, and even heated floors (works great in Russian winter! I never thought of that before). The apartment is close to Expo Center and is within a very short ride of Kremlin and Red Square. The check-in process was smooth -- they met me in the airport and drove me directly to the apartment. I paid by credit card. No hidden charges of any kind. Local manager (Alexey) was extremely helpful and friendly. He helped a great deal with local arrangements, took me to a local electronics store when I needed, and gave many useful advices that helped me to accomplish a lot during my trip. Overall, great value for the money, especially for business visitors. You get a very comfortable and secure 3-room apartment with kitchen and high-speed Internet in the center of Moscow for 30% of what it costs to get one much smaller room in an hotel of comparable quality. I highly recommend this place!
