Maxima Panorama Hotel

Comfortable beds, nicely decorated and clean rooms. The building looks very old school from outside but renovated inside. Subway is in front of the hotel and only 3 stops (app. 15 mins) to Red Square, Kremlin. Staff was very helpful. Superb breakfast! Safe luggage storing room. Great value for money in Moscow.

Very pleasant reception staff, room interior very nice - modern - practical (I had Superior room for 3900 RUB), for me the room and equipment and breakfast (quite large choice buffet) was nearly four star standard. Excellent location (just at the entrance to the metro Avtozavodskaya - 10 min to Kremlin). A nice lady in the Business centre books tickets and gives good advice about culture. Given the generally very high prices in Moscow, this hotel was a good value.

Window was impossible to close but the repair man came immediately after my call. Wifi internet should be free, but it uses such particular features that it did not work with my standard computer (I never had problems before). Nobody in the Hotel seemed willing to do anything about it.

The lobby bar is working 24 hours. It is realy 20 meters from metro, but it is easear by taxi - only 200 rub. to the center of the city. Very good sound isolation, a lot of elevators.

Internet connection - 2 days it was not working at all and 1 day very low speed. For order the taxi - do not use reception - call directly to the taxi (you can find a lot of phone numbers in internet or you can see it directly on the cab) and it will cost you double less.
