Arbat 6 Boutique Hotel — Hotel in Arbat District

Arbat 6 boutique hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, the front staff were welcoming and helpful. As international travelers new to Russia and struggling with the language, Arbat eased our transition. The general manager, Vlad, literally went above and beyond for us; he cared that we not only enjoy our stay in the hotel, but that we also truly soak up the country. He even helped us in our "crisis moment" by making sure we got the tickets to the ballet we had our hearts set on (after experiencing issues with online purchasing because our credit cards were setting off international alerts and wouldn't allow us to buy, he walked to the bank to put money on his (maybe personal) card so that we could give him the rubles and he could buy for us). This is exceptional service, and he continued to give us helpful tips and recommendations during our stay. The hotel room itself was comfortable (cozy bed, good sheets, fluffy pillows, good views out the window, good shower pressure and even had a relaxing bath). The location was unbeatable. Walking distance to so many restaurants and bars and gift shops in such a fun part of town- during the evenings we were close to street performers and daytime we were close to rentable scooters. Forget the name of the bar, but our favorite bar was just downstairs. Kireal (sp?) was our unforgettable bartender who was enjoyable to talk with and made sure we drank the most delicious beers. Highly recommend staying at Arbat 6 for the totality of what it...

I have mixed feelings towards this hotel. The location is AMAZING between old and new Arbat street with many shops and restaurants (very lively area). Staff are very helpful and nice. Decoration is beautiful (we booked attic rooms which are spacious and beautifully decorated). Things I did not like about the hotel: The design of the building is unusual, it has two entrances. The main one you have to climb a flight of stairs to level 1 and take the elevator to level 2 where the reception and breakfast areas are. Then you have to cross the reception to the other part of the building to take another elevator to the guest rooms. It is a bit confusing. The other entrance can be used to exit the building from the guest rooms side only. During breakfast (in the second floor) you can feel the whole building shaking because the metro is going beneath! Breakfast is very poor and not delicious. Due to the hotel’s location, it can get very noisy at night and during weekends. Many bars and souvenir shops nearby. So it is not suitable for light sleepers. Attic rooms have 2 large windows with not shutter so expect a lot of sunlight during the day and some leakage when it rains. My overall experience is good, but I won’t stay...

What makes Arbat 6 a splendid hotel is not the cosy rooms, the amazing quality of bath products, the location in moscow. All of this is great, but the service is awesome. Not only friendly, but especially helpful for someone who does not come often to Moscow. ||The location is great, the recommendations are fantastic, the hotel has a partnership with a close-by fitness center. However we had two experiences unique.||I had to clean my clothes and ....they took everything and did it for free. This is unique.||We had to let several gifts, and packages including swiss chocolate, some jewelry and medicine, for friends who would come at the hotel while we were outside. Everything was given.||Honesty, Courtesy, and lots of support during our stay define Arbat 6, with all the top quality you can find in...
