I was on a tour and the tour co put us at Princes Park Hotel. i guess it's a hotel for tourguests. not high end definitely.|The hotel is outside and in the south of Moscow. it's about 2 minute walk to Tyoply Stan Metro, the only 2 stops to the last stop of the 6th metro line of moscow.|at the back of the hotel is a big complex of wholesale and retail fresh fruits, meat, chéese and milk products and many other farm products sold by farmers. prices are quite cheap comparing to others in town, of course. If you like bread, try the fresh turk like bakery shop at the back building.|talking about the hotel, i guess I was not enjoying this hotel. it is quite big. the layout is like a maze. i know many rooms may have no window. mine had, but viewing to some bare rooftop and an ugly bigtruck parking. the room is quite large but furnitures seemed worn out. the TV was still LCD and funnily small. the room was cleaned but no new water bottles or supplies were refilled daily. There was a water dispenser in the alley and the iron and board were put somewhere in the alley for selfservice. there were only 2 extremely slow guest elevators and u may have to wait for quite some time. i tried staircase, faster. then we found two more service elevators at some corners of the building.|Breafasts were served in some banquet type room at some back corner on 3rd floor. it seemed obvious the restaurant staffs did not like chinese tourguests. I don't but I was not comfortable that the staffs was very rude to them. We are vietnamese, guessed they thought we were chinese too thus treated the same, or may be they did not like us either🤔||Not so many staffs speak English though and i did not find them...
Read moreThis hotel is new building in an IKEA like shell- hence many of the rooms do not have windows on to the outside world but specially constructed interior worlds- a Narnia like, street light lined path or a plam tree lined jungle- more Las Vagas than Moscow. I was lucky enough to have a room with a window and I needed it as the heat in the room was stifling and couldn't be turned down. The room was huge, with very little in it. It did have a work desk but no power sockets, so it was impossible to work and have my lap top plugged in at the same time! It was a double room with one tiny table and one chair, so 2 people could not relax in it at the same time The room could do with a few more amenities such as a clock,||While the bed was comfortable, the pillows were old and very lumpy. They should have been replaced long ago.||Very few staff members speak English. The restaurant is also very quirky- a huge banqueting suite with wedding feast tables and more staff than customers. The food is below average, I had a grey, microwaved beef stronganoff.||All that said, this hotel is very good...
Read moreIf you are a tourist travelling to Moscow to see the downtown sights there are probably special reasons why you would pick this hotel. For us it was the fact that we every morning were driving outside Moscow and to avoid the terrible Moscow traffic we wanted to stay a bit on the outside. The hotel was professional, service was good, it was clean and even if its outside the center there is an ok selection of various shops and restaurants close by. For us we loved the fact that there was plenty of free parking outside. The metro is a 5 min walk and there is a 25 min direct line into downtown. Its not high class, but you also do not pay for high class.||||So if you either want to save money by staying out of downtown area or you have any other reason to stay at this side of town, then I have no problem...
