Arbat
A breath of fresh air awaits you in the confident and welcoming atmosphere of the Arbat hotel. The rooms are spacious, designed in pastel colours and outfitted with with fridges, flat screen, multi-purpose tvs and crisp, white bathroom vanities. Deluxe rooms feature the same decor but have double the space.  Unrenovated rooms may be modest, but their parquet floors and heavy doors are immediately give away a luxurious and graceful past. Once the conference-goers on coffee breaks have dispersed, be sure to have a look at the verdure of the relaxing winter garden.

Belgrad
Looking for an authentic Soviet experience? Here it is. Feast on the chaos of check curtains, gold and brown floral carpeting, green and pattern velour sofas; this style of décor will make you shut your eyes and go to sleep. In effect, it's a sleep aid. In addition to the original rooms, there are also costlier renovated rooms. These are inoffensive and prettily decorated. All are however, clean and considering the location, you probably won't mind that the toilets come in flourescent aqua. There is a full buffet breakfast in the large dining room. While there is no sign outside to identify the hotel, just bear in mind that the Belgrad is opposite the Golden Ring Hotel. [...]

Cosmos
It's hard to miss this monumentally sized Soviet giant in all its flickering neon-light glory, towering over the street opposite the VDKHa exhibition centre. Despite its lackluster appearance and casino-like lobby, Cosmos is still a reasonable option given its price and location. Rooms are basic, clean and inoffensive. This is a heavy-duty tour group hot-spot meaning that rooms can look slightly worn. Ask for a room with a view of the famous Ostankino tower.    [...]

Elegant
This is no frills place has a dark lobby and a bright basement restaurant where guests can enjoy a full cooked breakfast. The layout suffers from the conversion into a hotel; its a rabbit warren with narrow corridors and short steps giving a cramped feeling. The rooms themselves have decent sized bathrooms with shower cabins and are pleasantly presented and clean. There’s a nice effect to be gained from the red décor. In a bid to cater for economic thrifty clients, they have four rooms without a window. [...]

Ibis Paveletskaya
Budget hotels like this are few and far between in Moscow. A completely new building, with brand new rooms and facilities just ten minutes from the train station and a short distance from the very heart of Moscow. Those concerned abut their carbon footprint as well as their wallets are welcomed with open arms as are disabled travellers. Rooms are bright and functional and the ones facing North are particularly large. With the appearance and service attitude of an upmarket hotel, this is a great budget option.

Melody hotel
Soviet record company, Melody, bought the place in 2005, so it is fitting that they play lilting tunes as you enter. Some artists even choose to stay here, though is a pretty soulless place that has preserved much of its Soviet features such as the stone staircase and furniture. The murals which decorate the hotel are by Moscow artist, Tsereteli before he was famous. The single rooms are, though, bigger than standard and a lot of the furniture is very brown. Bathrooms are very compact while suites are larger but no more inviting. [...]

Sputnik
This Soviet princess has moved with the times and put some new jewels in her Russian tiara. There's a lively basement bar and an Indian restaurant on the 16th floor. Rooms vary. They all have standard amenities and are wholesomely decorated. While the singles are apt to recall one’s student days when one lived in a shoebox, they are accordingly inexpensive. The décor in lux suites is pleasant enough that will make you feel at home without making you feel like you’re staying in someone elses. [...]
