Moskova hotellit Južnyj

Plussat: Perfectly prepared room before arrival. Everything clean, bathroom excellently looking. Big soft bed with comfortable pillows. Main road nearby, but windows are filtering outside sounds very well. Room service nicely cleaned the room every day, brought new water and tea. Staff at the reception desk very polite and smiling. There is probably nothing bad to say.

Miinukset: Closest metro station Domodedovskaya is about 1km away, maybe 10 minutes of walk, what is actually not that bad. I see no other minuses.

Plussat: The breakfast was good. Room was comfortable. Near metro station.

Miinukset: The waitress of the restaurant insisted on payment her tips for dinner. Even next day she insisted on payment tips for previous day.

Plussat: Dejlig seng inklusive madras og puder. Super flot og behagelig badekåber

Miinukset: Old and not very well functioning equipment in the bathroom in our room. The staff at breakfast is not very attentive, everything is done reluctantly and with apparent laziness, with exception of the cook who cooked the fried eggs - she is really nice. The same with staff that cleans the rooms. Such a staff transforms a hotel from a 4-star to a regular 3-star hotel.

Plussat: Close mall with good restaurants, hotel restaurant good too. Clean tidy, staff good. Rooms nice size

Miinukset: Long way from Metro, only one bag green or black tea, if tv & kettle on trip activated. Chairs not comfy

Plussat: Great location and nice rooms.

Plussat: Access

Miinukset: Squashy rooms

Plussat: Clean, additional things like toothbrush can be taken from reception, bathrobe and slippers, water on the house, quiet despite being above a highway

Plussat: Convenient metro station in front.

Plussat: Good staff and near metro

Miinukset: Internet connection is awful (difficult to connect, signal is poor).

Plussat: - despite previous reviews, it is easy to find. Opposite the river with a big sign saying Derevo but in the russian alphabet:) Having a double bunk bed was nice - bed set up works perfectly: lots of shelves, 2 plugs and a lamp - locker per bed (though not per person) - water machines- instant access to boiling or ice cold water - Cleaners were great, nicer than some of the people staying, always smiling and saying hi, the whole place was spotless - Reception staff was also good, good levell of english, polite. - bathrooms were good, never had to wait for the toilet or a shower, showers were great as well.

Miinukset: We stayed here 6 nights. (This is long but please read it all before deciding to stay here) - this hostel is made up of two buildings, separated by a car park/road. They are about 30m apart. The vast majority of "nice" pictures you see are from one building, the older finished side. Sadly for us we were in the "newer" side, which is unfinished and nowhere near as nice. - we wouldn't even have known about this second, nicer side (sofas on the terrace, tv, lounge etc), unless we had compared our building to the reviews and spotted lots was missing. The lady who gave our tour was lovely, but neglected to show us around completely. - as mentioned, our building wasn't finished. We had builders present pretty much 24/7, loud building works all day, every sat eg. 10pm on a Sunday. There was the smell of paint and chemicals while you were cooking and eating in the kitchen. You are separated from the builders by a thin plastic sheet... -due to the building works, there was a big leak in the kitchen one night. No one apologised, seemed to care and a poor cleaner walked in unaware and had to clean it up. - LOCATION: other reviews have said it but you really are away from everything except supermarkets. We made the 1hr10 walk into moscow along the river which was nice enough but not ideal. - there is no "hostel" vibe. This is somewhere that people who work remotely or in Moscow live for cheap. Some of them were lovely, lots of them were a bit odd and the issue is no one is leaving anytime soon so you do just have to put up with it. - bunk bed ladder is painful to climb: thin metal rungs - everything is key fob entry, which sounds fab until you need a wee in the middle of the night and have to find your fob in the dark - kitchen equipment: no drinking glasses, broken hobs, the kitchen is too small. Many times we just had to wait to cook as there were already 6 or 7 people in there.

Plussat: Place is beautiful and well maintained.It has all the facilities.Staff knows english and very friendly in nature

Miinukset: Place is far from nearest metro.Pavelskaya is 2km from hostel.You will have to take bus no. 13,158 which will take you to metro.On more problem is that it is inside a building very difficult to find.

Plussat: Anna and Liza were super helpful during my stay. This was certainly one of the best hostel I've stayed in two years travelling around the world. The design, the security and the attention. It all exceeded my expectations.

Plussat: Near to the metro and had breakfast included

Miinukset: we arrived at 23H and there was not water in the hotel, not any possibility to buy one

Plussat: Nice location next to historic and beautiful Kolomenskoe park. Steps from Moscow subway. Great helpful staff.

Miinukset: Internet works badly.

Plussat: All as expected - quiet, clean, close to the metro station I needed. Kolomenskiy park is about 10-15 min walk - this is probably the best park in Moscow.

Miinukset: The staff at the reception could not tell any English word so the only way how to communicate was with "hands and legs". What a pity for a hotel that is offered through booking.com! My only little "advantage" is that I can undestand at least something from Russian language. The "hotel" is more like the accomodation for students and workers for some period of time, you can hear fast everything from the gangway of the hotel when you are at the room, because the door is too thin. The breakfast was quite simple. It was quite clean (i would stress quite), and even though it is forbidden to smoke in rooms, there was significant cigarette smell in the room in the past.

Plussat: The breakfast was pretty good, the location near the metro station also pretty nice, the value for money also very nice.

Miinukset: Pretty thin walls, so you can hear your neighbours. My personal complaint, the bed is just too soft for me, that's it.

Plussat: Location was really good! Close to a beautiful Kolomenskoe park.

Miinukset: Water pump broke down during the stay. The staff was not very efficient with fixing the issue. Soundproofing in the room was missing. We clearly heard neighbours watching TV at night.
