"Located in the heart of the old city, two blocks from the Bolshoi Theater, this is the top pick in Moscow for leisure travelers seeking something special away from the familiar brand name." Full review

The Ritz-Carlton does a much better job on the service front, which is perhaps why so many Americans choose to stay there instead.

"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."
