Legendary Hotel Sovietsky

I used to previously stay at a hotel in the south of Moscow, in Tul'skaya district to be precise. However, I am convinced that this hotel will now become my staple hotel of choice when I visit Moscow. This is a fantastic, and unique hotel with a beautiful, beautiful restaurant in what is a small playhouse. Its prestige is unmistakeable, and the menu is first-class. When I first entered the hotel, after an 11-hour, two-part flight from Vladivostok, I was as tired as most people would be after such a journey! However, despite the fact that I arrived about 90 minutes early, the staff were wonderful. The bellman, Alexei, was so kind. The free champagne I got whilst waiting for my room to be readied was a lovely touch, and I have to say, I felt quite humbled by how nice everyone was. The staff in the restaurant and cafe have a lot of class, and are great to interact with about where to go in the north of the city, the history of the hotel, which has existed since 1951, and I can guarantee that your stay will be very warm and welcoming. Thank you all for a wonderful experience!

Just one piece of constructive feedback - the coffee and tea in the room was very welcome, however, it would be good if there were sachets of powdered milk or small pots of cream for it. I personally can't take my tea or coffee without milk, so I bought some from the local produkti, but that is only 3mins from the hotel, so it's not a great inconvenience.

Imagine a GRAND hotel, breakfast with live music of a piano or Harp. Hotel is excellent as always. I have stayed previously. Love the place. Friendly staff.
