Gostinitsa Vals — Hotel in Zamoskvorechye District

Myself and my partner stayed here for a week during the week of the world cup semi-final and final. We both purchased a Russian sim card from the airport when we arrived which came with internet/phone calls, I strongly advise to do the same as it saved us many times and it was only cheap.||||The hotel -||The hotel is very, very basic - no air con in the room, no safe, 1 towel, no utilities (have to purchase these separate.) The breakfast runs from 6:30am - 11:00am which is great timing, however again very basic breakfast. 2 types of cereal, hot dog type sausages, bread, salad and 2 juices. The receptionists are friendly and are willing to help, we couldn't speak Russian and they couldn't speak much English but still made a great effort to help. There's also a watchman on the hotel front 24 hours a day. Our room was cleaned every day during out stay so although the rooms weren't much to look at, it was very clean. Although, beware as the cleaner will walk straight in without knocking, often very early morning also.||||Location - ||The hotel location was perfect for us, we were a 5 minute walk away from the metro and then a few minute metro ride into the red square which was FANTASTIC! There is something for everyone, beautiful scenery, amazing restaurants, fast food, bars, night clubs, super markets. The bars/clubs are open until 6-7am also, Moscow doesn't sleep! I couldn't fault any of the restaurants, all of the food was great. I advise booking in advance for some of the fancier restaurants as they are always fully booked. Visit the Baga Bar in Moscow, I was impressed with this little setting it was great. Big screens and lots of bean bags and tables in a grass area, really nicely thought out and decorated. Service is so slow and staff can be a little rude but despite this it was a...

I stayed in this hotel during the world cup and every day i extended a night they made me change room, and the reception lady with glasses was very unpolite on the phone asking me to leave while i already had payed in advance my weekend, after i was in reception with all my things they told me it was a mistake, there is a very helpful and polite lady at the frontdesk too that could speak english and i appreciate it. |The rooms are small and most of them doesnt have air conditioner, the girls at housekeeping open the door without knocking. I do not...

Мы многодетная семья. Гостиницу выбирали через букинг, нашли семейные апартаменты, площадь если не ошибаюсь 32 квадрата. По факту это два отдельных (смежных) номера, нас не устроило, взяли люкс. За три ночи цена по Букингу при бронировании 18000 зачёркнуто, стояло 16 500, видимо скидка, подумала я. На ресепшене взяли доплату за 5-летнего ребёнка по 500₽ за сутки (видимо за подушку и савдеповское колючее одеяло в клеточку), которым мы не укрывались. В стоимость входило только 3 завтрака. Администратор все время кому-то звонила. Как это так по бронированию стоимость люкса с завтраком на 5 человек выходила дешевле, чем стоимость семейного номера. Сказали хотите завтрак на всех, доплачивайте. На завтрак ходили дети. В итоге вышло 19500₽. Номер люкс, двое взрослых, а халат и тапочки на одного))))). Полотенец по 2 для тела и лица. У гостиницы 2* и думаю правило полотенца по количеству гостей здесь не работает, да и номер 209 уставший. Мусор выносили ежедневно, полы были чистые. Завтраки вкусные, сходила один раз вместо старшей дочери, а папа у нас только кофе по утрам пьет))). Сосиски, каши, омлет и запеканка, сыр, колбаса, хлеб, масло, джем, йогурт, огурцы, помидоры, чей чёрный и зелёный, кофе, молоко. Очень не понравилась кровать!!!! Сам матрас нормальный, не ортопедический конечно, спать можно. Под матрасом лист фанеры! Вроде бы пофиг фанера да и ладно, но бесшумно перевернуться на другой бок у вас не получится!!! Уважаемые владельцы, Вы же читаете отзывы, я понимаю, что это бюджетная гостиница в хорошем районе Москвы, но заявлен же люкс..... Сделайте...
