Friends On Vosstaniya

BEWARE is a word for foreign guests. The place tries to charge extra fee from non-Russians for making a mandatory police notification of stay (which is called "temporary registration" sometimes). By Russian law, to make that notification is a hotel's own responsibility, and it shouldn't be paid as a special service, as service means the ability to decline it and here you can't. The trick is, they don't include the price of their work at a basic fare and then, after you agreed to let's say 1500 RUB deal for the room, they inform you it'll be 250 RUB more for that service of notification. It's pure bullshit as if they invest so much time and efforts to make it - fine, no problem, but then the basic fare should be appropriate and no additional payments should follow. Here, their style of work is similar to ask you just some let's say 50 RUB for basic fare but then 100 EUB extra if you'll use the bed and 150 RUB extra if you make shitting and their junitor will have to clean the bin of your toilet paper and then 200 RUB extra if that'll be raining and your feet will be dirtier than in hot summer. In short words, it's a plain cheat and it's against the law, which was proven in our case: just having a prospective to have police called to study the ask for "necessary additional payment", the hotel receptionist immediately backed and made all the notifications for free, as it should be. Very unpleasant impressions from that style of cheating, and the clear decision to never use the whole net wherever. Hello guys, that's the result of your clever policy of how to raise a buck.

Location was good and many places to eat around. Ploschad' Vosstaniya metro station was close by, and walking a bit more there is Moscow station (terminal for train from/to Moscow).

No elevator. The toilets were not properly cleaned, they only took the trash. The toilet paper were of bad quality. There was no TV channels in English. In the private room, the bed sheets were smaller than the mattress without elastic so it would move as you move. The given towels were really old with stains.
