Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya

The hotel's location is great, about a 10-minute walk to Red Square and also 8-10 minutes to the metro station. The room facilities are a bit basic, like a guesthouse, but it's very clean. The bed is soft but surprisingly doesn't cause back pain. The front desk staff speak good English and are very welcoming.

I really need to review this place. First, the location is indeed very close to the train station. However, when you have to drag a suitcase across three streets and wait for traffic lights, it feels a bit roundabout! Second, no one opened the door when I checked in. The stout man at the front desk assigned me to the room furthest down on the second floor, so there was no view to speak of, just the roadside. Thankfully, there weren't too many cars, so it wasn't that noisy. Also, when I checked in, I mentioned needing a proof of stay. The stout man on duty told me to come back the next day. I said I might forget and wanted to get it done today. He then said, 'Come back in an hour, how could I possibly do it right away!' The next day, a handsome young man was at the front desk. I told him about it, and he got it done for me in less than a minute! Also, a lovely lady at the front desk was very helpful with her answers. The stout man gets a thumbs down! Third, the interior and exterior decor of the building is indeed very vintage, but the room itself is a bit old. The shower pressure wasn't strong enough, but it was adequate. Honestly, the stay experience was not as good as the Ibis in St. Petersburg. I mainly chose this place for its proximity to the train station.

Chose this hotel for its proximity to the Seven Sisters, and the lobby is absolutely stunning. The hygiene is excellent, with all amenities replaced daily. Luggage storage was convenient, and the staff were very polite. The hotel's location is great, close to both the subway and intercity train stations. The only minor downside is that shops are a bit of a walk away.

Great location! Right outside are three metro stations. However, the service was very perfunctory. The desk lamp and curtains were broken, and even though I reported it on the first day, no one came to fix them until I checked out four days later. On the second and third days, they even forgot to clean the room and change the towels.

What a bizarre stay! The room's AC unit showed an error, and the front desk said the air conditioning wasn't even on. Yet, the room was so cold that even the cleaning staff were surprised! I reported it twice, and in the end, they gave me a space heater... A space heater in July! Honestly, I'm still wondering why the room was so freezing.

The breakfast was plentiful, and the room was comfortable. The hotel is one of Stalin's Seven Sisters skyscrapers, a historical building facing Komsomolskaya Square. The three train stations around the square each have their own unique charm, and Komsomolskaya metro station is a classic Moscow metro station. It's the best accommodation choice for experiencing Moscow and taking the high-speed rail to St. Petersburg.
