Mitino Hotel

“Decent value, but not for everyone.”

If you want to be a tourist look somewhere else, HOWEVER if you want to learn more about how a real Russian suburb works and what the people are really like this is as good a place as any to start. 10 minutes walk from the metro, a 15 minute taxi to the Spartak stadium and several local 24hrs sho... more

If you want to be a tourist look somewhere else, HOWEVER if you want to learn more about how a real Russian suburb works and what the people are really like this is as good a place as any to start. 10 minutes walk from the metro, a 15 minute taxi to the Spartak stadium and several local 24hrs shops and late night bars and a nightclub. Used this hotel during the World Cup as a “base camp” because I am learning Russian and throwing myself in at the deep end was less stressful for me than an average tourist. So with that in mind, 1 The place was clean. 2 It was half the price more centrally located hotels. 3 It was quiet, I mean really quiet even though it’s next to a main road. 3 stars for a three star Hotel, what I expected.

“Average hotel with basic service”

Stayed there as I was attending an exhibition at Crocus City Expo center. This made it easy to access as it was't too far. Rooms were average with basic facilities. The breakfast was decent.

“Not a great room, but a decent value”

Hotel reception staff were pleasant, professional, and spoke english good enough to get by. The basic room I stayed in (I didn't get the deluxe) was ridiculously small. The tv was probably 13" max.

Hotel reception staff were pleasant, professional, and spoke english good enough to get by. The basic room I stayed in (I didn't get the deluxe) was ridiculously small. The tv was probably 13" max. There was no DVD player as advertised on their web page. And only Russian channels. They advertise 24hour room service, but I was never able to get through to them, no matter what time I called. Ended up walking to to the restaraunt to pick up what I wanted. And like previously mentioned the ac/heater was loud and came on at random times, even if it wasn't powered on. On a positive note the WiFi connection was awesome. I was able to call home to the US on Skype, and had very clear connections. The hotel bar and restaraunt were both adequate, but don't go in thinking you are going to grab a quick beer! I sat and waited 20 minutes on one occasion, before finally leaving. I might as well have been invisible! Other times were better - just depends how busy they are. The hotel location isn't great (northwest side Moscow) but the good thing is that it is very close to the Metro station...about a 10 minute walk. So you can easily get into the city, Crocus Expo center, or wherever else you need to go. Just plan for the travel time. Took me about 20 minutes to get to Crocus, and 45 minutes to City Center.
