We stayed at the Budapest Hotel for two nights. We choose because it is right in the city center of Moscou, about 20 minutes from the Red Place and 5 minute from the metro. It’s a 4 stars hotel but more like a 3 if you are usually staying in hotels in France or so. The decoration is typically Russia and kinda old but it’s okay. The rooms were nice and spacious and the bathroom was okay. The breakfast was great with a lot of choice. |But the people working weren’t very professional. Especially the guy at the bar who was in charge of the room service. He didn’t speak English at all and didn’t seem to make any effort what so ever.

The manager made no effort to see us which we requested for both verbally and email. This was the last leg of a five country tour and we chose to spend 5 nights , not realising it was going to be a hellhole with no proper management that cared about it's customers. Even in South Africa our 3* hotels are a hundred times better that this hotel that rates itself as 4**. |My pictures are proof of the level hygiene. They couldn't even do the beds properly or rinse the glasses. When we checked in and changed rooms the rooms only had provisions for one. And what a mission it turned out trying to...
