Buran capsule hotel — Hotel in Tagansky District

The location is OK and beds are comfy, that's about it I traveled with an American citizen who, by Russian law, must be registered with the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) within 7 days. When we checked in, I asked the administrator to handle the registration, and he assured me everything would be done. After 8 nights, when we had already moved to another hotel, I learned that this hostel never registers foreigners. For whatever reason.

I tried contacting them: no replies to emails, vague promises over the phone, then finally someone admitted they “don’t register foreigners.” No explanation, no help. Just silence. For reference, the fine for not being registered is up to 7,000 rubles (about $90), and it can affect your visa and future travel. Why should guests take that risk because the hostel ignores the law?

Beyond this, the hostel had constant issues: staff couldn’t calculate our payment correctly, one shower was broken the entire stay, cleaning was poor, internet didn’t work, and they didn’t understand their own booking system (we were told twice to check out days earlier).

Bottom line: the hostel itself is average at best, but the lack of legal compliance, professionalism, and basic communication makes it a terrible choice for foreigners. I strongly do not...

Well like the title says, this was my first time staying in a hostel. It is located about a 5 to 10min walk from Kurskaya metro/train station. It started of not so good, as they were over booked. They got me a bed at the hostel next door for the first night. I mean just 30 feet away. In the morning i was told to come over and start my stay. The capsule are of decent size and comfrotable. It give you the privacy that you don't see in most hostels. The entire facility was very well maintained. Considering the amoint of foot traffic and people in and out, the cleaning lady was on top. She kept all in order, clean and she is cute. The bathrooms where of nice size. The Wi-Fi is better on the second floor lounge than in the rooms. Over all I would recommend this place for anyone looking in this area. ||OH one last thing for anyone traveling to Moscow. Uber is good easy and...
