The threads on the same topic are a couple of years ago, I would
appreciate a more recent info. if you have it.
I have the visa and flights booked for July. I am .o.k. for stay in St.
Petersburg, bit I am having a problem deciding on a hotel in Moscow.
Walking to attraction 15-20 min is not a problem for me.
I am traveling alone, I prefer a good hotel and a good size room.
( breakfast not important)
The price range : about. $250 ( Canadian) , $200 ( US).
Some hotels like Peter I, have a good rate and location ,but bad reviews..
Any suggestions ??
Thanks.

If you haven't seen it yet, look for the very recent NYT article on Deals in Russia today because of the devaluation. Hit Travel and then scroll down for the article.

Thanks..
I got my visa ...taking Russian classes for the next 8 weeks !

Hotel Savoy. You can get a Classic double room for
$194.00. Just a few blocks from Kremlin. We are staying there in September. I believe fee includes breakfast.

Thanks Diane ...I have been looking at Savoy or Intercontinental ( a bit more expensive)
Both are in a very good location.

We stayed at the Petroff Palace, through booking.com I see the rooms are $150 CAD per night in July. The place was amazing!!! and the buffet breakfast was more than enough. It was not downtown , but close to the metro and only a few stops away. This used to be the stopping off palace for Catherine the Great. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Russia staying at this hotel.
