Guest Reviews

• nicholas (10/5): - Easy to access from Domodedovo Airport. Aeroexpress.
• Dmitri (10/5): - Great helpful staff, easy access to public transportation and airport aero express, very good breakfast buffet, nice clean and functional rooms.
• Vera (10/5): - Отличный возможность остаться в городе рядом с метро, качественный сок, удобные подушки, управление обогревов, банная косметика и вода в номере
• Nawfal (10/5): - Professional staff and high end accommodation.
• svetlana (10/5): Recommend - It was a very clean and comfortable hotel with great business lunch.
• Ümit (8/5): Moskova 2021 - Temizlik daha iyi olabilirdi, çalışma koltuğu rahat değil
• Steven (10/5): Everything you want near Moscow center - Why pay more? Convenient, clean, quiet.

• Mahir (10/5): - Lobby and restaurant very small!! There is No spa.. Security Best!

• Verified traveler (10/5): - N/a
• Ramona (10/5): City Trip Miskau - Wir wurden bereits an der Rezeption sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend begrüsst und fühlten uns sehr wohl. Auch das Zimmer war schön gross, modern und sauber. Wir hatten eine erholsame Nacht da man im Zimmer nichts von draussen hört. Auch das Frühstück lies keine Wünsche offen. Tolles Hotel für einen Ciry trip, direkt beim Bahnhof.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Четыре звёзды на четверку - Довольно простенький номер, никаких "излишеств" на 4-. Средний шведский стол на завтрак. А вот ужин, входящий в полупансион, отличный. Не гурманский, но вкусный и очень большие порции.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff were really gentile with me and helped me a lot
• ALEXANDER (8/5): Московские выходные - Превосходное расположение - в пяти минутах ходьбы до Павелецкого, отсюда же совсем близко и до центральных улиц. Совсем рядом с отелем расположены приятные ресторанчики. В номерах чистота, порядок, очень понравилось. Из минусов: отсутствие бесплатной парковки возле отеля. Места для парковки есть, но их немного. Ещё один минус - довольно дорогая цена за завтрак (шведка). За эту деньги можно так же неплохо позавтракать и в близлежащих ресторанчиках. Но в общем и целом - отлично. Приятный, отзывчивый и учтивый персонал. Классные люди! Рекомендую к остановке здесь: уютно, приятно, чисто и удобно.
• Elena (10/5): здорово - Отлично, как-то был странный номер с дверью в стене, ведущей в соседний номер. Но в этот раз без двери все шикарно)
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean and nice hotel or business trip
• Verified traveler (6/5): Good but not for 4 stars - Small new hotel. Pros. Good helpful staff, big new well equiped rooms, large TV, refregerators etc. Cons breakfast is the worst I ever had in my trips. Even 3 stars hotels provide a decent breakfast compare to them. Dont be surprised to be served with rotten vegs. Everything in its most budget way. Also there are no acoustic at all between the rooms. Your bed will shake when neighbor next door will shut the doors. No privacy. Not to mention big construction site next door with night shift. Noise from construction work at night time well increased the numbers of my sleepless nights. Please advise your clients BEFORE they book this hotel about this construction next door. Otherwise it looks like a trap.
• Alexey (10/5): - Very nice hotel with a good location and infrastructure. Helpful personnel is one of the reason to stay in this hotel in the future
• みずほ (10/5): - スタッフ、施設、立地、コストパフォーマンス、全て最高でした。チェックアウト後に忘れ物の連絡をすぐに送ってくれました。次回も利用します。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Das Hotel ist zentral gelegen, perfekt für einen Städtetrip. Hilfsbereites Personal.
• Grigorii (10/5): Great stay! For the price 10/10! - Our stay was great overall! The room was really big and had everything we needed. There was a small bottle of wine with some snacks left for us which was great since we stayed at the hotel while celebrating our engagement so it was a nice touch up. The bed was really comfy, nice view, nice tv, nice bathroom! We had a bit of a problem with water in the bathroom but it got all sorted out in a little while. Location is great though! For the price we paid 10/10! Thank you guys for your service! We enjoyed our stay!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We stayed here for one night on our way to the Maldives for our honeymoon. When the staff found out they offered us a free breakfast and glass of bubbly which was a great start to our holiday! We were also able to check in early which was ideal!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great - It was a quick one night stay. I like that it was easy access to train station from airport
• Artur (10/5): - Nice hotel and great location. There are theaters and museums in this neighborhood. I would recommend anyone who wants to visit Moscow.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Breakfast area was way too full to digest morning meal!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - location....cleaniness...staff ...location...location
• Verified traveler (10/5): - every thing is ok ...i like it ...i recommend it for my friends
• Ron (8/5): Mooi Centraal gelegen hotel - Mooi Hotel en centraal gelegen.
• Geisman. (6/5): - The room are Good. But there is a construction work in the lobby August 2019. They hotel say it is only for a week but is is more than 1 month.
• Jurgen (10/5): Prijs/kwaliteit super - Perfect, no more Words needed
• MariaGrigoryev (10/5): - Мне понравилось всё :приветливый и отзывчивый персонал,местоположение,комната чистая ,со всем необходимым.Вусные разнообразные завтраки.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean and well equipped room, good location and excellent staff
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 部屋は広く、綺麗で設備も整っています。駅から近いのもグッド！
• Anton (10/5): Комфортно поработать - Несмотря на ремонт в лобби, было довольно комфортно. Квартал, в котором расположен отель свежий и ухоженный. До Домодедово рукой подать. Номера довольно большие, удобные не только для сна, но и работы.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Fabulous - The room is very clean. The staff of the hotel are courteous and attentive. I like the location as it is very near the aero express station and is safe for solo travel. Only issue is the noise from the upgrading work of the hotel which should be temporary.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The room was spacious, even with a queen sized bed in it. There were USB ports by a bedside table for charging devices, which is very thoughtful but I didn't understand why only 1 bedside table had it and not the other. Gym facilities were unfortunately limited. What really annoyed me was that breakfast was not included, and I had to pay for it. Had I chosen the option to include breakfast in my booking, I would have been paying for 2 but I'm a solo traveler. There needs to be more flexibility with this.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Close to the metro. Good breakfast. Very helpful staff.
• Plamen (10/5): - Отличное соотношение цены и качество обслуживания
• Verified traveler (10/5): いいホテルです！ - 今回は短期滞在でしたので、空港からのアクセスの良さとステイ快適度から選びました。結果、とても良かったです。 チェックイン時のほんと少しのトラブル（おわびドリンクいただきました(笑)）と、チェックアウトの際の対応については完璧だと思います。 エクストラチャージについて、朝食代を前日に別途カード決済したと思い込んだ私の勘違いが原因なのですが、フロントの男性は嫌な顔せず誤解が解けるまで何度も説明してくれて本当にありがとうです。忙しい時間に申し訳ありませんでした、ごめんなさい。 お部屋のタオル補充が二度フルにならなかったことが少しだけマイナスですが、ミネラルウォーターウォーターが毎日2本あること、朝食時にコーヒーをお部屋に持ち帰れるよう紙コップがレストランにセットしてあること、部屋がきれいに保たれていることがとてもいいです。 ホテルの隣にあるレストラン、シーフード店、お肉店、は両方とも美味しい。 わかりにくいですが、道路を渡ったビルの地下に小さいけれど使い勝手がよいスーパーがあり便利です。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - i like marriott so much and i will recomend it gor others
• Verified traveler (2/5): - The air conditioning was not allowed to go on as it is too early in the year apparently....I have to tell you that the bedroom was ridiculously hot, really tough to breathe and so uncomfortable to be in... I don't believe this is acceptable for a Marriott hotel. I am now in Amsterdam where the weather is much colder, but the air conditioning is working. The air-conditioning should work according to temperature, not what month it is!!!!
• SolihinT (8/5): - Relatively well situated, easy access to major circle line on metro.
• Viacheslav (10/5): Достойно - Достойно
• patrick (10/5): - Near to the subway and train station.
• Elena (10/5): - Хороший, достаточно новый сетевой отель. Удобно остановиться проездом, так как рядом экспресс в Домодедово, метро в шаговой доступности. Номера чистые, кровати удобные.
• Vitalii (10/5): - Всё супер
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very good hotel with easy access and friendly stagf
• Donald (10/5): Everything and MORE from a GREAT hotel - We took the Aero express from DME and the hotel is within walking distance even rolling suitcases, staff were amazing. I have nothing but praise for this Hotel and all the support workers. Really enjoyed our stay. Easy access to the metro from the station too.
• faisal (10/5): Great from the start - So far so good Feom staff to the room. All good.........................,..,
• Rosa Angelica (10/5): Richard and Angelica - This hotel is well located very close to the train station that has express train to international Airport.. Lots of eating places around the hotel.. About 45 minutes walk to Red Square.. Staff is very helpful and friendly.. supermarket very close
• Verified traveler (8/5): Convenient, new, modern, clean. - Close to Paveletsky Aeroexpress Train Station. Took SQ, arrived at Domodedovo Airport, Aeroexpress Train just outside airport, look for star logo. Once arrive at Paveletsky Train Station,look for KFC & Burger King (opposite each other), exit station, make 3 right turns & you will find Courtyard. We chose Courtyard, apart from proximity to train station & metro station, was because of the pleasant stay we had at Courtyard, Bosnia & Herzegovina, end 2016. Everything about Courtyard Paveletskaya was good except its reception area, it was far too small. Well, it could be the structure of the building that didn’t permit a larger reception area? There were My My Restaurant chain, Starbucks, a sweet shop (desserts/cakes/bread etc) , supermarket (small to medium size only) across the street on the basement of the office building, money changer etc. If you take a slow 8-10 min walk, you will find jon joli restaurant (alfresco dining) which serves good fish dishes, pelmeni (Russian dumplings) & soup. Beds and pillows are comfortable. Courtyard Paveletskaya receptionist Alina was so nice to give us room 1217 which had unblocked view of sunset and sunrise. Amazing! We like Vivaldi Plaza where Courtyard Paveletskaya is located. The rest of the buildings nearby are office buildings which are named as Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter, after Vivaldi’s work, “The Four Seasons”.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Fantastic location and good breakfast - Very good location clouse to Paveletskay Metro station (two lines), nice breakfast. Some of staff was very helpful, provided us with broadly information and gave guidance for Moscow sightseeing and shopping places. Maybe it was so for us, Russian speakers.
• Sanford (8/5): Great location to Express train to DME - Clean Convenient location, with modern furnishings. Excellent location for first or last night if flying at DME airport. The Express train is a short walk from the front door.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent - I stayed there for four nights. In short, great location with near access to railway (to DME airport) and metro stations, and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Nice service and spacious room with great breakfast provided. Absolutely great value for money at its price for this new hotel.
• Verified traveler (4/5): They nickle and dime is the business model - I have been Marriott customer for more than 10 years. I have been staying in Marriott all over then world. Yet first time stayed in Marriott in Russia this time. My overall experience: they do basics the Marriott way, but then nicle and dime you in "gray areas".
• Evgeny (10/5): Nice hotel in convenient location, value for money - Nice hotel in convenient location, value for money
• Paul Amintan (10/5): - Great
• NAN (10/5): Good location and considerate service - This hotel is next to Paveleskaya Train Station and Subway Station.We left our lugguage in this hotel one day ahead of check-in date.This makes our travel to Suzdal much easier. The room is nice,clean,quiet, and spacious.The breakfast is tasty.The service is considerate.
• Misael (10/5): Courtyard by Marriott Paveletskaya Hotel - My stay at Courtyard Marriott was excellent and food was good too.
• Zoe (8/5): - Very good location, 3mins aways from the metro station and aeroexpress station. Breakfast was great. Nice restaurants nearby. The room was comfortable and quiet.
• Lukas (8/5): Nice hotel close to Metro & AirExpress to airport - This is a nice 4-star hotel very near to Paveletsky Metro station that connects to all the tourist sites, and the Paveletsky Rail Station that has a direct train to the Domodedovo Airport.
• Elvira (10/5): Convenient location in the city center - Rooms are good size, quiet, very clean. Metro is a 3-min walk away. Very good value.
• Julie (8/5): Good Hotel close to rail and metro links - Good location for me as travelling on business, is 5 minute walk to railway and metro. There are numerous bars and restaurants close by also. Room was clean and a good size with fridge, tea and coffee facilities. The gym had modern equipment in and a great view of the area. Staff were very friendly and helpful, as was the restaurant staff and food was very good. Breakfast was a good selection, although at certain times was very busy and all tables were taken. On the whole was perfect for my requirements would definitely stay again.
• Marie (10/5): Good out of city hotels. - Out of Moscow city, but that gives you a chance to use the metro to get around. Good hotel. Would stay again.
• sergey (10/5): hotel is located in a good area close to the metro - Very professional hotel staff very recommended. strategic location close to the subway . clean rooms and very good housekeeping.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel . Convinient. - Nice. Convenient . Close to train station and metro
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hotel close to the train station - I was expecting a breakfast to be included in this rate but ut was not..... Final bill was higher then advertized upon booking.
• Jared (10/5): Fine. - Fine all around - very friendly staff (for instance, they made sure to arrange to have my laundry delivered first, as I was checking out that night), modern and clean facilities, close to the city centre, train stations, metro station, etc. The restaurant was also very good (although it had a relatively small selection of food and especially liquor) and its staff excellent, and it was very useful to have the small convenience store beside the front desk, as my deodorant had blown up in my bag and I was able to purchase a replacement as soon as I checked in - you can't get any more convenient than that.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Never again - The staff was so rude, I asked them to make change for the equivalent of 65USD. They said we can;t do that & ignored me. Rude discourteous unprofessional. The only redeeming factor was the very attentive restaurant host & bartender.
• Verified traveler (8/5): January stay at Marriott - Good location to meet family and use metro and train station. Hotel staff friendly and helpful and some spoke English. Breakfast good and even better when we realised we could ask for fried eggs or omelette made to order. Good value for money would stay again in this hotel.
• Lorna (8/5): Absolutely recommend this hotel - I was very impressed with the service and my room. special thanks for letting me check in early, the Reception crew were very helpful and friendly. The room was perfect, spacious and clean with everything you need , including iron and board, tea and coffee, suitcase stand, hairdryer etc. Very comfortable bed.The dining facilities are limited and simple but suitable for business visitor or busy people. Great being near the station for the airport express train. It was exactly what I needed.
• Ian (10/5): A Great Choice for Moscow. - I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. I found it to be a very well presented hotel with excellent professional staff. My room was cleaned extremely well with the nice touch of a free bottle of water provided every day. The reception staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The restaurant staff were very professional and friendly.
• S (10/5): very good hotel, deserves a higher star rating - great hotel - services, rooms are better than similar chain hotels in US, Canada
• Vincent (8/5): Good Choice For a First Time Visitor to Moscow - I liked this hotel. If flying to Domodedovo it's ideal. Take the airport express to Paveletskaya Station, come out of the main exit/ entrance and follow the main road on the right and you will see the hotel in a minute or two. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast is somewhat enthusiastically-priced, however there is a very decent bakery where you can obtain morning sustenance for a fraction of the hotel cost sited on the road leading to the hotel. The hotel restaurant is fine for evening meal and there is also a steak restaurant (which the hotel recommended) literally two minutes' walk on the same site, which was excellent. We were slightly wary about visiting Russia given copious internet warnings/ scare stories &c &c, but had a great time and can't wait to return.
• jaled g (8/5): - well suited hotel, very close to the train station where AeroExpress trains from Domededovo airport arrive and very close to a Metro Station that takes you easily to downtown, parks and the renovated zone south of the Moskva river. Neighbourhood is secure at any time
• Terrence (8/5): Good hotel. Close to the main train station. - I stayed here for about three weeks. Most of the staff spoke great English. They were very helpful. The rooms are standard Courtyard room. Plenty of food within walking distance.
• Andrei (10/5): Quite good - Short walk from the train station, convenient if your train departs early. Rooms are quite spacious and very clean. Comfortable bed with lots of pillows. Good working shower. Breakfast was also good with focus on the English breakfast. Though other options were present as well. On the negative side I found a bit annoying when staff in the restaurant tried to collect my plates before I started eating and before I finished eating. Lifts when moving make unpleasant noise. Shower glass door didn't function properly, so I've been left with lots of water on the floor. There was not much done to prevent sounds coming from the corridor. I could hear every room being cleaned.
• laura (6/5): Decent, but not great - The hotel is nice, but nothing special. The courtyard Marriott by the Kremlin is much better, as is their breakfast buffet. But this one is located closer to a metro station.
• Jan-Harry (8/5): Good location for rail and metro around Moscow - Good hotel near the center of Moscow. Friendly staff, good breakfast selection and reasonable size room :)
• Nathalie Judith (8/5): Very good - I had a three night stay in Moscow. The Hotel is very recommendable!
• Edgar (10/5): Excellent location, friendly staff - Located next to the train station pavelestkaya, easy access to Red square via green line (2 stops). Very friendly staff, speak very good english ( not to many people speak in Russia). Rooms very comfortable, modern, nice view.
• Alisra (8/5): location !!! - Great location 5 mins. Walk from paveletsky airport express. Room is clean and small. Hotel condition is 3stars. Service is normal, a reception can not find my booking when I arrived with the print out reservation and took a while to find out. Neighborhood is convenient but not quite pleasant, but I love a canteen behind very good and cheap. I have breakfast there everyday.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Business hotel- easy access from Domodedovo - Really convenient for business travel. Good price for location. Walking distance from Aeroexpress. No frills but lots of coffee shops and restaurants to go to near Paveletskaya so don't plan to stay in the hotel for meals.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing - I found this hotel to be one of the best hotels I have stayed at in many countries. the staff was amazing and very helpful and cheerful. they love to help you making your stay very comfortable.
• Deirdre (10/5): Great place to stay in Moscow - Modern, clean hotel in ideal location beside Metro on the circle line. Friendly and efficient staff with great English. Spacious rooms with everything you need.
• Peter (8/5): Convenience for a quick business trip in Moscow! - Marriotts are always good in my opinion. They serve a good purpose, and this location proves it. Steps away from the train/Metro station that transports you to DME airport, implies absolutely no need to deal with Moscow traffic. If your business is in this area, or you are familiar with the Metro, this is a convenient place to stay. Good wifi....good breakfasts. Other restaurants nearby.
• GB (10/5): Good business hotel - Very modern hotel. Very clean. Helpful staff with good level of English. Reasonably central. The sky bar at the Swiss Hotel (5mins walk) is also worth checking out for views at night / sunset.
• Irina (10/5): Near radial metro station and big shopping center - Finally I found the hotel in Moscow which is equal to American in service and located perfectly.
• D Foster (10/5): Nice, clean hotel near Metro - Enjoyed our stay. Staff was very helpful, hotel was clean and comfortable. Torro restaurant(open 24 hours) right next door was great. 10 min walk to metro. Would stay here again!
• us-traveler (10/5): Great location - I selected this hotel for its proximity to subway and to Paveletsky railway station which connects me to Domodedovo airport. Hotel is in generally nice. On the negative side - the gym is not open till 6 am and restaurant only starts at 7 am. Such late opening made both amenities useless for me. Coffee house across the road is open 24 hours, so early breakfast is not a problem. However, hotel management may consider changing their policies and make their gym accessible 24/7.
• Richard (6/5): £250pn and no inclusive breakfast or room service - Same as the title. If I was not attending a conference around the corner, I would not have stayed here.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good for business location - This is the best hotel in the Paveletskaya area, very new, modern and business-like. My Director likes to stay at this hotel.
• Jim (6/5): The best feature is its location! - The hotel location next to Paveletskaya Station the main link to Domodedovo airport are the best reason to stay at this hotel. The staff have improved greatly since last year when they displayed a "couldn't care less" attitude.
• Smart traveller 67 (10/5): Good location counts for this hotel - Very good location near the paveltsky train station allowing 10 minutes walk way to train platform to domededevo airport. Very good and competent english speaking staff at front desk. Nearby restaurant and coffee shop including starbucks. Nearby metro station.
• Chic Business traveller (6/5): Great business hotel - Good hotel near business district. About 20 minutes from center.
• Don (10/5): Excellent value for the price - Everything about this hotel is first rate. My wife (who is Russian) and I have been to Moscow many times and for value for the price, this is the best hotel at which we have ever stayed. The staff is extremely competent and helpful and in the three days and Americans particularly will find this an excellent hotel at which to stay.
• Verified traveler (10/5): great hotel -- convenient location! - fantastic hotel -- very new, nice, spacious rooms, helpful front desk staff, wonderful location.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - This hotel has been open about a month and a half and I guess this is the first review here. I'll try to make it comprehensive. First, I will say that the staff is very friendly, speaks English quite well, and they will go out of their way to help a guest. This is not a given in Moscow, and makes a stay much more pleasant. The rooms are nicely furnished and in good shape (they're new). The only thing I really disliked about the room was a feature that seems to be cropping up in some new hotel rooms -- a "decoy" thermostat that gives the illusion of control but in reality has absolutely no effect on room temperature or fan operation. My room was always a couple of degrees cooler than I like it. A minor complaint was that water pressure in my upper-floor room was on the low side, so showers were thin and baths took a half hour to fill. The neighborhood is nothing special; it's full of shops but there is nothing much to see. The hotel is only about a 70 meter walk from the train station with express trains from/to Domodedovo airport, which is quite nice when you arrive from a long flight. I chose this hotel because it was a short walk from my place of work. I have stayed at this property's "sister hotel", the Marriott Courtyard City Center (in a much more interesting location, near the Kremlin), and this hotel seems to charge rates quite similar to its sister. This can be annoying; for example, the buffet breakfast at this hotel has about half the choices of the City Center hotel (a larger hotel with a much larger restaurant), but they charge about the same. And since it has fewer guests (I saw no one at breakfast on the weekends), the buffet items get a bit stale when left out with little turnover. Despite this, they are very protective of their breakfast. Most rates don't include it, and even when upon arrival I showed them that my hotels.com rate DID include it, it took several e-mails and phone calls to straighten the situation out. In-room internet (provided by Beeline, which seems to have a sort of monopoly on Moscow hotel room internet) mostly works fine, but is expensive. It does come included with a "superior room" rate. It required me to log back on every time I started it, and would not relay outgoing e-mail through my ISP (I had to use their web server). Let me explain my four (not five) star rating for the Courtyard. I have since moved to a five-star hotel two blocks from the Kremlin, which now requires me to take the Metro to work. This other hotel has a full-size swimming pool and sauna/health center, includes a MUCH more elaborate breakfast and internet WITH the room, and the daily rate is consistently only about $1 different than a superior room (no breakfast) at the Courtyard. (The internet is provided by Beeline, natch, but doesn't require constant signing in since all rates include it, and it DID relay my e-mail.) Additionally, I get a copy every morning of the International Herald Tribune, which I really enjoy, while the Courtyard only provides the local freebie handouts (one of which is inside the IHT anyway). Still, because of the great staff and convenient (for me) location, I would go back to this Courtyard if it were priced in a more appropriate market segment, say one notch (15-20%) lower. This hotel is quite good for what it is, at that level. But without a larger or fancier hotel's facilities and features, I can't really justify their current price.
