Altay

I'm recommending this place to everyone I know! Nothing too fancy but it does the trick if you're only looking for a place to spend the night while enjoying the city. We stayed in a budget room, which was nice even though the furniture and bathroom were kinda shabby. Anyway the location, staff and café deserve some praise. Will come back!

Here is only one good think I can say about this hotel. Breakfast is so good reach and tasty. Chef and her team is the best. Security guard never say hello back to me since I tried it every day. Receptionists only smiles on your face but never want to solve a problems. Sad experience. Some of the room details attached!

We had stayed in this hotel during our visit to the Fifa World Cup 2018. While everyone in Russia welcomed the foreign fans with extra warmth, this hotel staff went an extra mile to be terrible. I wonder how they behave with tourists in the usual days. This hotel is far from the city centre, but 3 mins walking from the Metro station. The surroundings has a lot of greenery, but the hotel rooms are shabby and old and not maintained. The rooms do not have a provision of a fan/AC whereas the weather at Moscow was pretty sunny and hot in Summer. We could not keep the windows open as the proximity to the greenery attracted a lot of insects in the evenings. The corridors and the reception (apart from that in the main building) were lonely with no staff present most of the times. Furnishings in the room were broken. Carpets and curtains were dirty. The mini fridge was stinking. The staff did not intend to help at all, forget about welcoming or smiling. They are rude, they intentionally do not speak English when you try to ask for help. I say this because when I reached the hotel at first, they asked for my card for payment and explained me the restaurant directions in English, but 5 mins later when I called the reception to request for a change in room (because the room had no ventilation and was thus suffocating), they do not speak a word in English, rather put the receiver down beside the telephone leaving me unattended. The main reception is 300 meters from the other buildings, making it very difficult to reach the staff by any other means than by phone. The entrance is very difficult to find and they have many buildings, but only one main reception. The so called free Wifi did not work after the first night. Breakfast served was okay. The staff called/knocked us 6 times within 10 mins when we were about to check out. In conclusion, a terrible experience and would definitely suggest people to avoid this totally.

vert bad & old hotel! СССР very bad breakfast:(

If you like swarms of Chinese people, extreme heat in the room with no air conditioning, constant noise from both the motorway and the railway and don't need decent cafe or restaurant nearby - you should definitely check out Altay Hotel on Botanicheskaya St.
