- Good value for money Although the furniture is very outdated, I liked staying in this hotel very much. Location is good, just 25 walking from the Kremlin. Moscow hotels are very expensive so this is a good choice for the money you spend. Do not go here if you insist on EU/US modern style hotel chains like Marriott, Hyatt... more

To start with, it is reasonably central, a walk to Kremlin is about 20 mins. The views on the river side are very nice (a nice church just in front, then the river, Chist the Savior cathedral, two of Stalin's 'seven sisters' and distant glimpse of Moskva-city towers; and the infamous Peter I, but that's also fun for a short... more

Throwback to cold war, communist Russia and all of the dark, wood, old-fashioned furniture, ingrained tobacco smells, austere staff and soviet establishment you could possibly anticipate in this day and age. Frequented by government officials and their guests, the hotel was focused on security and efficiency at the complete expense of any sense of service. A few specifics: * Taxis... more

Upon arrival I felt as though I had entered back into the cold war. The hotel is big, impersonal and old. I arrived around 12noon to find out that there was no reservation made in my name, since I was there for a conference I had received a corporate rate which is about 1/2 of the regular rate. The receptionist... more

I stayed at the President hotel for three nights during a business trip in February. The President hotel was built for the central committee members of the Communists party of the Soviet Union and I guess that it was much better those days when the party elite stayed there. The rooms are quite big and clean but shabby and need... more

While it was safe with comfortable rooms...it was a weird place - from the high price call girls 'discretely' sitting in the cafe downstairs to the baroque bedroom decor. The place has no atmosphere outside the rooms - bordering on depressing and lonely. no desk for business travellers. Good cable broadband but I had to sit on the floor with... more

This is a high rise hotel on the bank of the Moscow river, not far from the US Embassy and Gorky Park. We stayed at this hotel in November 2005, then the following April. Our stay was the worst hotel experience in our lives, but was that the hotel's fault, or just an inevitable consequence of needing to be in... more

My husband and I went to Russia and stayed in this Hotel for 4 days. We were doing an 11-day-tour in Russia and consider this Hotel a very good choice for Moscow. We should start by saying that Moscow is a very expensive city. If you would ask for a room at the Reception you would have been charged around... more

My wife and I stayed at the President as part of an Insight tour in early September. The hotel is very attractive, with excellent security to access the property. Our room was more of a suite, with views of the Moscow River and the massive statue of Peter the Great. The buffet breakfasts were very large and well prepared. Access... more
