Rossiya Hotel

Location was good for my visit, convenient to airport. One employee tried to be helpful but did not speak English. Her intent was good but not capable. No English speakers on duty most of the time. Money exchange not available at hotel. Change for use of internet in lobbly frequently not available at front desk and bar refused to make change. Carpet in room was filthy, in bad need of cleaning. Shower had mold in it. Sink stopped up. Computer in lobby has bad keys that frequently stick. Bed uncomfortable. Room was noisy.

Not very far from airport; useful staff Lack of internet; extremally crowded restaurant during breakfast; lack of air-conditioning - summer night in the room was like being in sauna for 8 hours. You may find lodging of similar quality 30% cheaper.

Close to a metro station and close to where I was conducting business. A bit pricey; big problem was that the hotel staff did not give me the receipt from registering my visa, and it caused me problems later when I moved to a different city and tried to register there - they wanted to see my registration receipt from the previous hotel. The second hotel had to contact the first to get a scanned copy of my registration receipt. Hotel Rossiya should make sure they follow up with every foreign guest and make sure they give them the registration receipt.
