a cultural melting part of the island located near the kremlin is not full of nightclubs swanky restaurants and trendy arts galleries although central to narrow streets are often called to traffic late at night it can be noisy and the closest approach is a fair walk away take notes. as one of the main new areas of contempt culture in the capital if you want to be where the action is office is the perfect place. stylish designs the new lodgings popular with travelers 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 visit alongside the typical editions of three one five party must go sightseeing advice and support.

every year you hotels open up in the russian capital five star as glamorous and wonderful as they are always offer the best value for money moscow has also seen an increase in bed and breakfast accommodation and new tools as the calls but they do cater for the younger market for those wanting a general three star experience. struggle. it did the middle of the range in large soviet hotels located outside the city center now have serious competition to our next hotel now just one hundred beaches from kentucky metro station and the church of all saints this hotel of the same name a central location in the russian capital there are several shops restaurants and bars close to the kids i go to the area our main advantage i think it's a good crisis for. our guests have. to leave most historical parts of moscow. wife nice price.

this hotel here has forty six grooms of various sizes and prices but its close proximity to red square and the kremlin i think it often is for the best locations first from the style stand 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 for the city center he says may not be fancy but the stars speak english it has a friendly atmosphere and more importantly it's clean comfortable and safe because . i always stay in this hotel when visiting is there like it's convenient to occasion it's very close to metro station i also appreciate the friendly and intensive stuff here. where she's faced some winter has helped moscow see off an invading army or two over the years but the twenty first century is more likely to

be crippling lehi. she's never been overseas to the city as well as the most expensive dissolutions in the world and accommodation produces a constant issue for thousands of travelers every week. when looking for accommodation anywhere in the world research is the key location in the city's design very formally a lot to think of but a little time and effort and you can now find what you want. to 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 meet this week's guest you now must be 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 when you have one yes we have

two thousand 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 style travels and there's really a niche that we feel that is not well not filled related to the binoculars really it's likely and we feel that there is a big demand and that's exactly where we are working. well i think that we try the essence of what we tried to deliver is a convenience state so we would never charge for breakfast for example we would never charge you for internet for wife i would have it all through the hotels in our right is 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. three years ago and always included

in the raids and what we have done is also maybe. a very convenient in for business travelers but also for tourists that we have included in minibar in the raids and we have set we have seen statistics over the years where people take from it that's usually water a little snarky even if you're working with a coming home late just want something small you know that it toward a room service and wait for half an hour they need something from something small and for us it's actually costs more to handle that kind of the sales of it just to do it it's always included in the rate so yeah very good so yes i don't preach hate monger says and it was sad to say that we are three plus you know it's hard to say what is a three star what is forced out of our service i would say is five star sure but then maybe we don't have that you know twenty five metre swimming pool that is what

we're going to face our gloves or our viewers are thank you very much moving on and what are the two or three star hotels on 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 rooms are equipped with new furniture and facilities such as a conditioning. progress toward his rooms of various categories from twin standard rooms where four thousand rubles around one hundred thirty dollars a night to keep the economy rooms an even hostile dorms. the maksim hotel in the north of the city is a three plus stop business hotel with ninety six rooms aiming to combine european companies with russian hospitality it offers not only standard accommodation but

also several design a rooms named pistachio malls and orange you'll even find if you can use the right in the center of the room. for. the sort of flies from the. likes of. the very very warm most not so big. or to say cool so the people. who live. in the west of moscow approximately half an hour's drive from red square as a large hotel called a mini of sky are providing over two hundred rooms accommodation costs around one hundred dollars a night it'll be twelve hotels under the segments of three stats and the fills hotel scale is opened in april this year the hotel is not close to the city center but there is a free of charge shuttle bus to and from the nearest metro station. if you prefer

to stay closer to the action of the city center hotel come again 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 for 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 located next to be out of the river and the metro elaters of all scar final location is acquainted only three star hotel. in paris and the larger tel chains hotel forty five here office excellent service a comfortable location and living conditions european standards recently renovated the rooms are bright and contemporary there's a real family feel about this hotel no surprise that there are only seven rooms you can get more of a personal service and the hotel industry in moscow i think has finally worked up to the fact that it's in desperate need of accommodation slowly and surely the

issue is getting rectified through accommodation for travellers visits is other countries spying middle class modern facilities for the wife or i sound proofed rooms and a large library of books on offer various buffet breakfast in the hotel forty five snack bar are also free to use the chef kitchen during their stay. this is a very great. family home. here as most develops changes will constantly in the many areas of its everyday life with the hotels restaurants or close shops growth and development why the choice and more competition russia's capital can be daunting be pricey for budget travel is yes but now you see for yourselves hotels and price tags you will do sleep over until you go shopping. so some great choices for you there

see the recent capital doesn't have to be so expensive after all. well unfortunately that's all the time we have left on this week's program on two and three star hotels here in moscow how see you again at the same time next week and so then for me and the rest of the crew from hotel forty five here from. close. monitoring. historical. friendly. dynamics. difference he'll. kill.
