I stayed for three nights and all was well. The receptionist spoke English. The matre'di on the 5th floor - not a word. I know enough Russian to get by and so should you! Have your own towels and soap. The fridge made a lot of noise and the walls are not extremely well isolated. Everything else worked as it should. You certainly are a fair distance from the Metro station but just several metres away from the train that runs toward the city centre. No one ever asked me to pay for usage. Never saw them spray my room... I would stay there again considering the cost of a regular hotel in the city.

This is one of the few places in Moscow where you can actually get a relatively "cheap" room all to yourself. It's perfect if you are trying to bring back a guest for the night — unfortunately, like all Moscow hotels, they have security and might hit the "eject" button on your new friend. It didn't really have a "hostel" feel to it, and you probably aren't going to meet tons of new international friends here (you might not meet anybody, for that matter). And I was attacked by dogs while I was walking from the Metro to the hostel. I'm not kidding — three dogs came out of a ditch and swarmed me — I've never seen anything like it. Watch out for the dogs; stay close to the apartment buildings and not near the river/ditch. "They spray the rooms and bedding often"!?!? Ha ha ha — is that positive or negative?? Well, I certainly thought it was a clean place although I'm not sure how often things were "sprayed," ha ha ha. The big problem with this place is that it's a ten-minute walk from the Metro, AND it's pretty far out on the whatever line (i.e., you're like six or so stops from the circle line). All in all though, it's not bad if you want your own room.

It's cheap and great. It's clean (they spray the rooms and bedding often) and the staff are helpful. It's a bit far out and a little bit scary to walk to the station from here, but a nice man is often outside in his car reading the paper and he will take to the station for 100 rubles.
