Frommer's "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.
DK Eyewitness "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."

Frommer's "The Art Nouveau mosaic by Mikhail Vrubel that tops the Metropol's facade sets it apart in era and in style from other hotels of its class." Full review
Concierge "It's a huge hotel (363 rooms), with a grand lobby, an even grander restaurant under a vaulted stained-glass ceiling, and fountains and marble pillars for adornment."

Avoid the seven tiny single rooms and the rooms with views over the glass ceiling of the Metropol Hall—you'll feel as if you're stuck in a broom closet.
Fodor's "The location, opposite the Bolshoi Theatre and a five-minute walk from the Kremlin, is top-notch." Full review
Insight Guides "Some of the standard rooms are very small, but the location and public rooms are spectacular and filled with history."
