The Hostelz.com Review - Genuine, independent review you can trust.
Fusion Hostel & Hotel is located a bit away from the city center. Unlike most Moscow hostels, Fusion occupies a separate building. The walls are colored in bright colors, and the receptionist is nice and welcoming.
The Location
The hostel is located at Paveletskaya metro station. The area is not quite a city center, but it is close to Paveletsky railway station with express trains to Domodedovo Airport. A renovated Danilovsky food market, Danilov monastery, and metro station Tulskaya are located in twenty-minute walking distance from the hostel.
You can get to Fusion from Paveletskaya Square on foot or take a tramway or a bus. In summertime, you can rent a bicycle from a city rental service; the bicycle stop is located in walking distance from the hostel. The road to the hostel lies close to some industrial area, but it is peaceful and quiet (though we won't advise you on walking there at night).
Rooms and Bathrooms
The hostel has two floors, and private rooms and dorm rooms are located on both floors. There is no air conditioning in the rooms, which is a problem for us, as during our stay in a single room we had to open the window, and our room overlooks loud tramway rails. We also thought that someone could easily get to our room from the street, as the window has no grate on it, but luckily nobody bothered us.
In a single room, we could not find a rubbish bin; this would be useful there. The key from the room's door is a bit hard to use. We could also feel the springs inside the mattress on the bed.
Rooms are equipped with bed lights. There are racks, hangers, and a shelf stand with a table in a single room. In all of the hostel rooms -- dorms, private rooms, and in the showers -- the walls are colored in bright psychedelic colors and have wall posters. Such a decor, however, looks harmonious.
Bathrooms are located on the first floor of the hostel building and have two shower rooms with shower corners, two toilets, and two sinks on the first floor. Everything is nice and shiny, as the showers are kept clean regularly during the day.
Common Spaces
The reception desk is on the first floor. The door to the hostel is open even at night, and the luggage can be left at the reception desk. On the first floor is a spacious kitchen, a common room, and a smaller lounge room with sofas and armchairs. In the kitchen area there are dishes, free tea and coffee, an electric kettle, a cooker, and a water cooler.
Summary
Fusion is a good option for any sort of travelers. The hostel staff are friendly, and the rooms are cheap and kept clean. If you would like to return to this hostel in the future, ask the receptionist for a special deal for frequent guests.
