Soviet Era hotel on the corner of Red Square - for about £75 per night you get a renovated double room with the Kremlin/St. Basil’s right outside your window. Best to book through an agency such as www.moscow-hotels.net/, as prices shoot up if you book at the hotel itself.
The hotel is clean and quiet with excellent beds and showers. The staff are notoriously unfriendly, but efficient and English speaking.
There’s a large selection of restaurants and cafes in the hotel but they’re outrageously expensive. The hotel breakfast is interesting rather than good.
Rossiya Hotel, 6 Ulitsa Varvarka, Moscow; nearest
metro: Kitay-Gorod; www.moscow-hotels.net/rossiya-hotel/
