Cosmos Hotel  

Excellent location in front of tvv park and 2 min away from the Metro

(1) No proper English speaking front desk (1 out of 4 was at a communicative level) (2) No proper English speaking INTRUSIVE security (3) Pseudo security sitting at the night cafe with 7 prostitutes who pays them bribes. So I was given a hard time returning my room for a "missing registration card" when they saw me coming out the elevator and the key "proves nothing" the prostitutes had no such a problem! (4) The size of the room (premium) was the smallest I ever got. If that is the premium what does the normal looks like? A c-class ship cabin? (5) Breakfast starts at 7 is very good for a business tourer, but end at 10 is a little too early (a hour too early) fir a city tourer in Moscow at this season, when sunshine is well past 8AM.

I stayed one week at Cosmos in May 2012. This hotel is huge so be advice that it could take a little time for check in but nothing problematic. Otherwise, the hotel is very well located at 3 min walk from vdnk metro station and then couple of stops from downtown. Basically you can reach everything from the hotel using the Moscow metro that is cheap and very convenient. The personal was very friendly, most of them speak a decent english so no worries if you don't speak russian, you will not have any problem using english. Rooms are clean and quite large, and if you have the chance to have one in the higher levels you will definitively enjoy the view! The hotel has as well a lot of entertainment (restaurants, night club, karaoke, bars) so if you don't want to go out by night (although I would definitively recommend to enjoy Moscow by night) you can stay at the hotel enjoy. I read from previous comments that prostitutes are everywhere in late hours, first of all the hotel is not crowed with prostitutes, some of them are effectively around but are very respectful and in any case will disturb you. So even you stay at Cosmos with your family it is not a problem at all. Overall this hotel is very well located withe a really competitive price and friendly personal. I will definitively stay again.

Internet is free in the lobby (you can buy a card at the business center to use it in the room) but connection can be very bad at rush hours.

Nice building, but nothing more.

45 minutes at check-in. Amazing, very very slowly. Very old furniture. A lot of girls at the night. I think Cosmos is 2* hotel.

Very little

Service in this hotel is almost non existent. It is not possible to even leave a message for someone staying in the hotel - as it will not be deleivered and there is no message indicator system in hotel. There are in the evening a veritable shop of women offering their services all over the place - it is out of control. Breakfast is a cafeteria and you agaain can not expect any service.

Proximity to convention center is great.

Hotel itself in poor conditions, staff unfriendly, old furniture...emergency exit doors are locked at the end of the exit route so you better hope there won^t be a fire -> scary

Good hotel for this money.

Bad check out.

The service has become a little bit more friendly. The atmosphere is away from typical business hotel.

`The registration takes far too long time! I arrived after midnight and was given room 1132, which is located at the door, separating the corridoor along which the rooms are, from the lift lounge. The doors are old and make noise when closing. This disturbs during the night. Besides, the bathroom was unhygienic! It stinked strongly of mold! This room is not at all suitable for living to anybody as long as it has not been renovated! I was told there were not other free rooms available that moment. I was given another, acceptable room the next day, but one night was under all standards! This is unfortunately very usual at this hotel: they give first to you a bad room saying there are nothing else that moment. Then you are given another, better room. All over, the price (140 € per night) is far too hight for any room at this hotel! Too crowdy in the breakfast room, some items finish already very early in the morning.

I was said to pay on arrival, so I had to leave my baggage downstairs and go somewhere to change money... On depature I had to pay for a luggage-room. It's scandal!

Good positioned between airport and close to metro station it is a good starting point for visiting Moscow

No smoking free rooms although requested. No smoking free areas in restaurants.. But it is very common in Russia to smoke everywhere....

nice hotel with friendly staff

it was to cold inside the room

There is nothing special just for sleeping after meetings.

Many things I didn't like. First of all service poor. Breakfast is poor. Security is rude to everyone. Security beha like owner of hotel.

Exciting to stay at the hotel have been the subject of many film

Main lobby

TV wakes you up
