"This sweeping, semicircular structure looks down over the showcase All-Russian Exhibition Center that, like the hotel, was built to shameless Soviet scale." Full review
Lonely Planet
"This gargantuan hotel opposite the All-Russia Exhibition Centre is a universe to itself (appropriately enough for a place called Cosmos)." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"This crescent-shaped hotel block was designed by French architects in 1979. Most of its 1,777 rooms have been updated to four-star standards."

"This hotel lacks grandeur but offers everything else a hotel should: efficient service, clean rooms, and (relatively) reasonable prices." Full review

Ask for an upgraded room if they're available; the price isn't that much higher than that of an older room, but the beds are larger and firmer, the bathrooms roomier, and the windows better at keeping out street noise.

"Built in 1972 for guests of the Russian Academy of Sciences, this concrete monolith is reasonably cheap and central. Avoid the rooms that haven’t been renovated since 1972."
