hello and welcome to the let's go out show now in the past we've discussed the rising world hostiles to five star hotels here in the russian capital but what about the middle market today you know a star lodgings didn't look so be at all like western standards so joining a lot of the news as we explore two or three star lodgings here in moscow starting off i think that out of town officers station is situated at the former red october chocolate factory a cultural melting pot the island located near the kremlin is packed full of

nightclub swanky restaurants and trendy art galleries although central to narrow streets are often called traffic late at night it can be noisy in the closest metro is a fair walk away take notes. as one of the main new areas of contemporary culture in the capital if you want to be where the action is our first hotel is the perfect place. with stylish designs the lodgings are popular with travellers of all ages and nationalities. this hotel is proving popular not just because of its low prices but also because it's walking distance to many of the new businesses that have set up shop the prices for a standard large double room start from seven thousand rubles a night that's around two hundred thirty dollars. also provides a range of d.v.d.'s books and magazines to businesses alongside the typical editions of free one five parking moscow sightseeing advice and the support.

every year the hotels in the russian capital far start as glamorous and wonderful as they are always offer the best value for money moscow has also seen an increase in bed and breakfasts and new tools as the cools but they do cater for the younger markets for those wanting a general three star experience. struggle for its seat the middle of the range hotels located outside the city center now have serious competition to our next until now just one hundred beaches from kentucky go towards metro station and the church. of the same name as a central location in the russian capital there are several shops restaurants and bars close to the kids i go towards area our main advantage. with prices and. guests have. to leave more historical most goal for. life nice price. this

hotel here has forty six rooms of various sizes and prices and it's close proximity to red square i think it offers the best locations first freestyle standard well this room is a nonsmoking split level suite that can accommodate up to four people the price seven thousand rubles roughly around two hundred dollars amazing value in the city center. may not be fancy but the staff speak english it has a friendly atmosphere and more importantly it's clean comfortable and safe because there's always time this hotel when visiting is there like it's convenient location it's very close to metro station i also appreciate the friendly and different stuff here. bush's face some has helped moscow see often in beijing only or through over the years but in the twenty first century it's more likely to be cripplingly price high. there are no businesses to the city as one of the most expensive

distillations in the world must get an accommodation. issue for thousands of travelers every week. when looking for accommodation anywhere in the world research is the key location facilities design very formally a lot to think of but a little time and effort and you can now find what you want. you can't read a hotel here is a great example just because you pay less doesn't mean you always have to do without certain standards and to discuss the topic of middle range accommodation in the russian capital let's meet this week's guest you know it was lovely to have heard. about well i think it was a clever move from my dad who started the first here in moscow about fourteen years ago so it was probably a way to get me interested in the business and now of course it's a huge responsibility to have my name on the signs you have yes we have to pass

from moscow one populates camp and one here on russia now accommodation it is a little bit of a problem as well the hotels in moscow as you probably know they're all very different we have a lot of five star hotels and we have quite a few all soviet styled chapels and there's really in that we feel that is not well filled that really was it was a bit like that was really upset actually and we feel that there's a big demand and that's exactly where we are working and tell me about your hotel well i think that we try our the essence of what we try to deliver is a convenience state so we would never charge for breakfast for example who would never charge you for internet for life we have it all through the hotels in our greatness very fast the hotels. i know and it's like water isn't it and so so that's really important and we included that in. three years ago and always

included in the raids and what we have done is also maybe. very convenient for business travelers but also for tourists is that we have included the mini bar in the regs and we have set we have seen statistics over the years where people take from it it's usually water a little snack you know even if you're working with a coming home late just want something small you're ready to order room service and wait for half an hour i need something done something small for us actually costs more to handle that kind of the sales of it just didn't include it it's always included in the rates. so yes. yes this is and we always said that say that we are three plus that you know it's hard to say what is a three star what is forced out of our service i would say is i have stuff i'm sure but then maybe we don't have that you know twenty five meter swimming pool that words were good for peanuts or they starve or our girls are thank you very much

moving on and what other two or three star hotels are worth taking note of the hotel. is located in an old building in the historical area of downtown moscow constructed in the nineteenth century his house was a part of a noble's family mansion of course current interiors of the many hotels nothing like the luxurious decorations of the old house but all rooms are equipped with new furniture and facilities such as a conditioning m t v cross to ward off his rooms of various categories from the twin standard rooms worth four thousand rubles around one hundred thirty dollars a night cheaper economy rooms and even hostel dorms. the maxine a hotel in the north of the city is a three plus this is hotel with ninety six rooms aiming to combine european companies with russian hospitality it offers only standard accommodation but also.

several design rooms named pistachio as an orange peel even find that you can use the right in the center of the room. from germany. from the source. from the us in this part i like the photographic much it's a very warm most not so big not so good to say cool so the people. in the west of moscow approximately half an hour's drive from red square there's a large hotel cost a mini of providing over two hundred rooms accommodation costs around one hundred dollars a night it'll be well for hotels under the segments of three stats and it's also tell i mean it's paris opens in april this year the hotel is not close to the city center but there is a free of charge shuttle bus from the nearest metro station. if you prefer to stay closer to the action of the city center hotel come again ski might be

a choice for you as it's located five minutes walk to the kremlin just off a central street. designed in a minimalist style there are thirty five rooms in this mini hotel but you will have to pay more for the hotel's convenient location single standard rooms here cost two hundred dollars loss but by no means least we travel to the northeast area of the city but hated next to be out of the river and the metro elaters of all star our final location is acquainted only three star hotel in comparison to a large hotel chains hotel forty five here office excellent service a comfortable location a living conditions of secure a painter hundreds recently renovated the rooms are bright and contemporary as a real family feel about this hotel prize that there are only seven rooms you can get more of a personal service and the hotel industry in moscow i think has finally woken up to the fact that it's in desperate need of combinations. slowly and surely the issue

is getting rectified three star accommodation for worldwide travelers visits is on the country's middle class modern facilities the wife or i soundproof room and a large library of books on offer very breakfast super person in the hotel forty five guests are also free to use the chef kitchen during their stay. this is a very great part i like it it's like family like home and when i come home with here as mostly develops changes will constantly occur in the many areas of its everyday life where the hotels restaurants or close shops growth and development brings why the choice and more competition russia's capital can be daunting be pricey to budget travel is yes but now you have seen for yourselves hotels and price tags you will do sleep over until you go shopping.

so some great choices for you there see the person capital doesn't have to be so expensive after the rule. well unfortunately that's all the time we have left on this week's program and two and three star hotels muskerry i'll see you again at the same time next week until then for me and the rest the crew from hotel forty five here for the. monterey. historic. friendly. dynamic. for a. month. the
