After paying a small fortune for hotels in St Petersburg the Maxima Zarya was a pleasant economical option in Moscow. The hotel staff were very friendly, helpful and spoke good english. We were able to check in early after we arrived at 11am from an early flight. The room was a good size and clean. The restaurant was very good... More

my trip was quick, I went to check in to the hotel quickly got the keys from the friendly service to my room, the room small but nicely decorated and priced low, great area quiet and peaceful access to the Internet is all about

Hotel is situated in kind of a hotel street with some hotels and also coffee shops around. Rooms have been clean and kind of basic but totally okay. I cannot remember when I slept in such a small bid since my childhood but I slept really good in it. Breakfast and the overall service have been okay as long you... More

Just returned from a 6 night stay in this hotel. The rooms were big, bright and well cleaned an presented. Large shower room & bathroom, so lots of elbow room in the shower. The breakfast was excellent, lots of choices, including fried potatoes, green beans or a Mexican mix, the usual cold cereals, good selection of meats and cheese, etc.... More

Staff is helpful, kind and nice (Reception, HK, Restaurant... all of them) Metro is not too far (10 minutes walking distance), few stations to reach the city center not a big deal. Hotel has a lot of good... More

Just returned from a long weekend in Moscow and I was very pleased with the Maxima Zarya. The 'budget' hotel options in Moscow are fairly limited and nearly all in the suburbs which is why one needs to (a) pick the right suburb and (b) be sure of being close to a Metro station. Many budget travellers go to one... More

This hotel is a good option for staying in Moscow, is in a peaceful neighborhood but just 8 minutes away from a metro station where you can take a train that takes you directly to the city centre. Service was great, staff both in reception and restaurant were very kind and helpful. Our room was very spacious and clean, with... More

We spent 3 nights here and have no complaints with the hotel. Easy walking distance to the metro (even in snow!), lots of little local shops, restaurant not fantastic but OK and catered for vegetarians with no problem, huge choice at breakfast. Area was fine during the day but I would not have liked to be walking around at night,... More
