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."
