All the noises from outside and from neighbors can be a bit annoying. I guess it’s because the hotel is old but quite well maintained.

The location is amazing, room service is fast, the staff is nice. A breakfast was nice as well with a good choice.

Once I got into the spirit I liked pretty much everything here so hats off to Budapest Hotel.

It’s important to keep in mind that this hotel is old, in fact it probably got its 4* rating back in 1821! This hotel has its faults but it also has its charms. The hotel is secure, there is always a security guard on the door and in the evening the use of a metal detector for entering the reception! The reception feels very old world like, rustic but clearly demonstrating it once has a glorious and glamorous past. The receptionists were very efficient but not what you would call friendly but hey, this is Moscow after all! They did everything that was required in a timely efficient way so that’s fair enough for me. My room had a very Soviet era feel to it, at first, I was a bit miffed but quickly got into the spirit of the surroundings and liked it’s unique feel. The room is basic, the bed seemed very old like the rest of the furniture but the bed came with clean sheets a blanket and I slept like a baby so I have no complaints. I had a small TV and despite what other guides might tell you there were no English-speaking channels that I could find. However, I brought my laptop, so this wasn’t an issue. The Wi-Fi worked fine, a couple of interruptions where I needed to login again, but I managed to work from my room without any problems on a web-based work system which can be very data heavy so I was impressed (and it is free after all!) The fridge came in very handy; the in-room a/c was great and much needed as it hit 31 a couple of days in a row. The bathroom, well the bathroom is also basic. The bath/shower is one of those tap integrated ones, but the shower pressure was incredible, and I had no issues with having enough hot water so again, it did the job I needed it to do. My view was of the inner courtyard (I had a budget room) but it was quiet and private so no issues with that. My room needed a lick of paint and maybe new carpets but if it was modernised too much it would also lose it’s rustic Soviet Era charm and personally, I really liked this.

The smell in the reception area. Smell of a fresh paint in the room. Decor is tired, but I appreciate that that after refurbishment it could be a different story and different prices.

Generous room size, high ceilings, location is great, a bit noisy at night, but it's the centre of entertainment, so expected. Lots of restaurants, shops, etc. Easy to get anywhere. Price is very good value.

the only thing was the floor in our room making noise but it wasn’t an issue.

actually I loved everything from the first day, as i needed to see the room size the day before i move to budapest and they allowed me at midnight to check the room and this was a kind of them and the staff wasn’t rude at all from the first day until the checkout, from elizabeth, Anna and yana thanks alot for making my stay so comfortable and help me even at 4 am to finish some documents for pcr to my travel the next day. I also feel safe in the hotel as they have scanner and security also as 4 star i feel it was 5 star even the breakfast have many choices also for muslims even type of eggs and juice. they also have storage room to keep my bags when i came early morning for checking in and they gave me late checkout to have the chance to get fresh and change our clothes for airport. Thanks so much girls on reception and the security and concierge for being kind and amazing personality. I also love they way how they remind us to wear mask when we get inside the hotel in a nice way. I also forgot to mention how they fix the bathroom door next day as they fix it temporarily same day but done the next day when i was on trip.The hotel is so cozy and old style in a wonderful and amazing way.

I liked the style of the hotel, the service was outstanding, the food was very good as all good in Russia and I liked the small touches. like whenever my room was cleaned, I had fresh water in the hotel. this is great, especially when other hotel charge you an arm and a leg for water.

The location and the style of this property is absolutely amazing. a lot of people may think that it’s dated, but the hotel is done to represent a certain time. the Soviet time and for those who know it’s special and very charming.

On their website, it's said they do speak English, but nobody could speak English over there. For a barman it was shocking that somebody was speaking a foreign language, he couldn't understand a word. Stuff at the restaurant is not trained well on how to serve the food and how to manage the business. Amateurs. The chef doesn't know how to prepare food well, no spices and no condiments added to the dish, like ketchup and mustard and some other delicious extras. You have to ask for and the answer was "you have to ask for that" it's good I knew the Russian language. Poor others

I like the location of the hotel, it's right in the heart of the city five minutes walk to Bolshoi theater. Breakfast was good, but the same food every day.

My room was not cleaned up enough. There were a lot of hairs(both in bathroom and bed room), very dirty mini-bar, etc. I requested to change the room category but no available, so finally I stayed only for one night instead of booked four nights.

Location is so-so. Beautiful historical building. More-less friendly staff.

Water: The tap water was not for drinking, we had to buy gallons of water in the nearby shop. Had I know this, I wouldn't have chosen this hotel. Smell: The room was a bit smelly, old furniture and walls and the carpet kept the smell of old times smoking. Noise: I didn't believe but the music underneath was getting louder through the night. How come neighbors not complain about it? The window didn't stop the deep bass so everything was shaking in the room at Saturday night.

Location: it's in the city center. Hotel has a fun Wes Anderson vibe. The breakfast was ok for the money.
