Radisson Blu Hotels in Moscow

/// stayed in December 2017 /// This is the review that I feel so indebted for the compliment review. Back in December 2017 , we spent our New Year Count Down in Moscow and stayed 3 nights at this hotel. (During that time the hotel was under major renovation) Our first impression: we booked for a regular room for 3 of us but at our arrival, the lady (seem to be the Front Manager) at the counter offered us the free upgrade to the renovated wing.....thank you so much. That was quite surprise us but when we accessed into the room it’s even more surprised me for its cosy luxury interior. This hotel is one of the best hotel I ever stayed - all the details in the room is as exquisite as the other ultra luxury hotels I experienced. It’s even 4 years back but I still remember well for the LOMONOSOV coffee/tea set that they use (one of the high-end porcelain brand I love and be using at home too). + Crystal wine glass + Nespresso Machine + KitchenAid Kettle + plentiful mineral drinking water. Wi-Fi is super fast (as recalled). Back then there was some situations in Europe and Moscow during that time is full with soldiers. However the hotel’s securities guard remember us well and helped telling the soldier that we are the hotel’s guests when we tried to access the perimeter to the hotel. Not to mention the location itself is great ,right next to Bolshoi , TSUM shopping mall and subway. On the departure day, due to the securities perimeter that blocked all the car to access to the hotel - the hotel staff managed to help us find the nearest spot where our limo can pick us to the airport. The most regretful thing that keep bothering my mind is I cannot remember the name of the lady at the counter who granted us the upgrade that made our stayed in Moscow is another remarkable memory......Thank you once again here. And would there be any chances that I could visit Moscow again - I would definitely stay at this Metropol again.

The Pros-smooth check in process, very polite and attentive front dest staff. the hotel has a great location right across the river, the view from our room was wonderful, we could see Red square and the river, definitely a plus! we checked out at 3am to catch our flight and an older man at front desk was extremely helpful with our suitcases and getting us a taxi, I wish I had his name. thank you! the cons- our room although it had a great view it was not clean like a 5 star hotel room should be, the room was big but old and very dusty, we got an old tv that was not working properly, old furniture, old bathroom. The Spa was not good after visiting other spas in luxury hotels in Moscow this one didn't have much to offer.

Near MCC and Metro Izmailovskaya. The rooms are tidy and the price is reasonable. Perhaps because of this, in the evening you will have to stand in line for a good check-in. The food in their restaurant is no frills, but everything is edible, there have never been any problems. Still, the TVs in the rooms would be replaced, otherwise they show so-so. The rooms are warm.

The hotel is very convenient. It is right across from the subway. There is a small commercial plaza at the subway entrance. There are supermarkets and banks where you can exchange rubles. The exchange rate is very good, but you can't exchange it with RMB. You can use US dollars and euros. If you can't exchange rubles at home, It is recommended to bring some US dollars for emergencies. The supermarket has a lot of things, but it is basically impossible to communicate in English. The same is true for eating places. I experienced the feeling of illiteracy. The front desk of the hotel is fluent in English and can handle temporary stay registration directly. The room facilities are relatively old, but they have all the necessary ones. The cleanliness is also good. The bed is oversized and should be two meters long. The mattress is very comfortable. There are 8 elevators on each floor, both up and down. soon. The breakfast in the hotel is rich, but there are not many hot foods, which may not be suitable for Chinese stomachs. The hotel is not located in the city center. You need to take the subway to go anywhere, so you can't walk on your legs. Fortunately, it is close to the subway. It is two stops away from the train station and you can catch up if you leave half an hour early. The reservation price is just over 500 including breakfast, which is very cost-effective and highly recommended.

The dining room was magnificent and there was a fountain in the middle of the hall - there were squid and Japanese goldfish. The downside of the hotel is that there is no parking lot of its own. For friends, the car needs to be parked in the ”Children's World” paid parking lot, 200 rubles per hour. (300 rubles per hour during the day)

Very clean and comfortable. Antique measures are observed in the pool. 3-4 people are at the same time, no more.

Breakfast is very rich and changes a little every day. The location is very good, near the Kiev metro station and train station, next to the large shopping mall, it is very convenient to eat inside, especially the Japanese food on the second floor is very good. Stop at the pavilion.
