We were traveling throughout the Baltics and Russia and stayed in wonderful European hotels. When we arrived at the Marriott we might as well been in the states as so many of the guests were American. Which of course made it a surprise that the hotel lobby is sufficating with smokers. We had a midnight train to St. Petersburg and had to check out of hotel at noon, it was difficult to stay in the lobby with all the smoke. The customer relations manager was very accomodating and allowed us to rest on the non-smoking floor lobby. I had developed a cold, it was raining and needed an early evening rest prior to the train.

The breakfast was terrific and the staff was so accomodating even with some "ugly" Americans making them crazy with requests. The restaurant in the hotel was quite good and reasonable for the high costs in Moscow. In all the hotels we stayed in, the internet was free. Many guide books complain about the Marriott costs and it seems they have paid attention. You can pop in and use the internet for free for five minutes...enough time to check emails, however, if you are there for business it may get costly.
The location was fabulous and a quiet street a half a block from all the action. We would recommend this hotel.

The hotel is located in the centre of town right off Tverskaya and within walking distance to everything. Its not a Luxury hotel, but a good business hotel with a deacent price. Unless you want Ritz or the Hyatt and have an unlimited expense acct, I think this is one of the best price/value combos you can get in Moscow. I have tried quite a few Moscow hotels. Food in the restaurant was great. We did not have breakfast at the hotel. We paid about 19000 Rubles for 3 nights, Booked on Expedia with stay 3 nights get one of the nights free

This hotel is situated in a quiet, leafy street only 10 minutes walk from Red Square. Rooms are spotless, bright and airy and very comfortable beds. Bathroom slightly on small side but not a problem. Tea and coffee facilities. Reception staff were lovely - polite and helpful.

Not too many tourists in the hotel - the spacious and trendy reception/lobby area was full of business people a lot of the time.

Nice restaurant, too, although not very Russian!

We stayed here two nights before heading to St Petersburg and then returned back here before flying back to UK - was great coming back to the hotel after a great visit to St Pete's where the hotel was very dingy compared to this.

Fantastic location, ten min short walk to Kremlin, St Basils etc, Nice clean rooms but expensive at $600 per/night. Food in the hotel was of good quality and I would give this hotel 10 out of 10 apart from the cost but if you want to come to Moscow and stay central this is what you have to pay.
