Peter the 1st hotel

Think Twice

My first experience with this hotel came at the front desk. This is supposed to be a highly rated, international hotel located within a posh neighborhood a mere stones throw away from Red Square – as such, one would expect a minimum level of proficiency in the English Language. Regrettably, this was not the case. My check-in took absurdly long, the ladies at reception became frustrated that I did not speak Russian well, and I could not for the life of me impress upon them that I needed Internet access. My room did not access to a minibar (this is a problem because I could not access any bottled water), and the television was pay to watch – meaning you had to watch movies at an exorbitant, rate or no Tele at all. I never got Internet access, and a meal was nearly as costly as the room rate. Moscow was magnificent, expensive (even for this world traveler), and most importantly, the star rating (especially in Moscow) is like almost everything else in Moscow, over rated!

Good Hotel - Would stay again- Great value

Overall the hotel is very nice and kind of fancy. I normal stay at marriots and felt this hotel just the same but less expensive. The gym was not very impressive. One bike and 2 treadmills and few weights. Gym hours are not great, 7am-10pm What really impressed me was the small price for incidentals.. Like room serivce and movies. I always have a big check price because of these. After a week of movies everynight, room service once to twice a day, a incredible massage and taxi service. My extra was 300 dollars and i expected it to be closer to 1,500. Great FREE breakfast came with hotel except I did not know it was free. The red square is 5 minute walk from hotel. The location is great. The staff is very nice and professional.

great room for the money

Outstanding location, staff is verry frendly and helpfull. Restaurant and bar little over priced, but overall great hotel.

needs improvement

This is not a five or even four star hotel... There is no bathtub and a tiny shower... I've never seen a smaller tv in a hotel room... All in all, this hotel was not up to standard...

Nice hotel in Moscow

Great complimentary breakfast

Excellent hotel

We stayed at the hotel for 5 days (7/10/09-7/15/09). Terrific location. Outstanding breakfast. Very clean. Room was a good size and well appointed (pillow menu!). Outstanding services from concierge – thank you Masha, Sveta and Dima! They went above and beyond to satisfy every need. Definitely will stay again!

Good hotel in quiet neighborhood

Friendly staff who are trying to help within their English language ability. Acceptably good breakfasts, but paid internet service is of poor quality. Pretty quiet neighborhood from which you can walk to all major tourist attractions. Avoid evil russian taxi drivers at all cost. Get staff to book you a car to the airports and insist on a clean one. May have to negotiate fee a bit with staff. Need to bring lots and lots of cash as all restaurants nearby are very very expensive. There is however convenience store a block away where you can get some water and basic supplies. Having visited another 4 star hotel in St. Petersburg and be abused by it big time, we were glad to be back to this one and would recommend it highly.

Very nice hotel

A very clean hotel room and comfortable bed. The concierge on staff was very helpful. Only disappointing experience was not being able to enjoy the complimentary breakfast because the service started at 0730 and we had to check out earlier than that each morning.
