Within days I stayed at the National and the Savoy. What a difference. Both are 5-star hotels. The Savoy is a much better deal for the money. I asked the National for Visa support which they completely ignored. I did the same at the Savoy and told them of an early arrival as well. They not only allowed me to... more

The Meridien National is located exactly opposite the Kremlin. The breakfast room allows you a direct view on the towers with the red stars on the top, which are lit at night. Really nice! The red square and Basilika are just a 5 minute walk away, as are many great restaurants. The metro (which you don't want to miss in... more

I stayed at the Le Royal Meridien National Hotel for four nights in August 09. While the Hotel might not be exactly five stars as defined by Asian or even western standards, its employees, the buffet breakfast and the location of the Hotel definitely is. The price of US $300 I paid for a standard room including breakfast might be... more

This is my second stay at this hotel. One was in the summer of 2008, one August, 2009. Overall, this is probably one of the most esteemed hotels in Moscow - one of the old guard luxury life trifecta of Metropol, Savoy, and of course, the National. You tell any Moscovite you're staying there and already a certain amount of... more

Loved this hotel!!! From the porter to check-in, from the concierge to housekeeping, everything was exactly what you'd expect from a 5* hotel! Not to mention the location: If it were 50 meters forward, we'd be sleeping in the Kremlin!! Our room was a standard one, therefore a little small which we knew and expected, nevertheless, all our clothes fit... more

The location is as good as it gets. The National is across the road from the Kremlin and Red Square which are accessed via an underground passageway and, along with GUM, the National Museum and Alexander Garden are a few moments walk from the hotel. The hotel’s art nouveau exterior façade is magnificent. The room was comfortable and quite spacious;... more

I have stayed frequently at the National during the past 5 years. The location is, in my opinion, the best in Moscow. Another strong pro is that the price usually is reasonable for Moscow standards, in many occasions under 200 euros per night. But, in the other hand, I don't think that it can be considered a 5 star hotel... more

The National is not cheap, but it lives up to it's price. You breakfast overlooking Red Square and Lenin's tomb. The front of house staff are efficient, friendly and helpful. the room staff are efficient and tidy, they try and speak in their limited English, which is nice. We have stayed in a number of Starwood hotels and although this... more
