Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya

Stayed 2 nights in the Hilton Leningradskaya and wish I could have stayed many more! The service was excellent - I arrived at the hotel at 8am (well before check-in time) and was immediately given a room without any fuss. As I was checking in, I realized that I had accidentally left my credit card at a restaurant at the airport. The hotel contacted the airport and arranged for my card to be returned to me that day. All staff spoke English, which was very helpful. I stayed in a "standard" room which included a 32-in flat panel TV, down comforter, Crabtree & Evelyn toiletries, robe, digital scale, etc., and the room was immaculate. There is a well-equipped fitness center in the hotel that is free for guests and accessible 24-hours. The equipment is all newer and there are multiple cardio machines. At the time of my stay, there were 3 treadmills and 2 eliptical machines, among other cardio and weight machines, as well as a Power Plate. All of this for what I would expect to pay at a 3-star hotel!! And the hotel itself is very unique given that it's in one of the "Seven Sisters" Stalin-era skyscrapers. The lobby and general architecture of the building are gorgeous! Probably the biggest downside is the location. The hotel is not an easy walk to Red Square or Moscow nightlife. This being said, it is within a 5-minute walk of two metro stations, which I found to be a convenient and very inexpensive way to get to Red Square and other sights. In addition, as with many hotels, the lobby restaurant is pricey, but the food and coffee at least were quite good. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at the Hilton Leningradskaya, certainly for the price I paid, and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Moscow for business or pleasure.

Very good hotel, location not the best but close to center of Moscow. Area is not the best (huge train station close to it) and full of delinquents.
