Concierge "Service, the Achilles heel of other Moscow luxury properties, here goes far above and beyond."

Which room to book: One with a river view, but avoid the fifth floor if you don't want to stare at the backside of the neon Radisson sign.
Fodor's "Pampers present-day capitalists in luxurious Italianate guest rooms, jauntily decorated lounges, and a world-class spa." Full review
Star Service "The property is set near the Kievsky train/metro station, 4 kilometers west of the Kremlin. It is a bustling rendezvous for international commercial travelers and groups bound for Red Square." Full review
BlackBook "The capital’s lavish new Radisson Blu will pay homage to Socialist Realism, with nearly a thousand original artworks displayed throughout the hotel."
Frommer's "This glamorous hotel, the site of the former Ukraina, is inside one of the seven Stalin-era art deco high-rises that make up Moscow's romantic skyline." Full review

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