This tall hotel should prove popular with travellers on a budget who are looking for an upscale three star. The rooms, which feature plasma TVs, shiny new bathrooms and large beds look on a par with much more expensive hotels and the location couldn’t be nearer to the metro without actually being in the tunnel. Dining facilities are not much to brag about but that panorama? The Moscow river, skyscrapers and those glorious golden domes are visible from all sides.
