Miinukset: Not applicable

Plussat: Clean rooms and well informed receptionist

Miinukset: Unfriendly security guard, the room has no kettle and uncomfortable beds -- super small twin bed-- like a kid size.

Plussat: Breakfast was standard, ok, room was more or less clean, only bathroom tile seams near the floor were dirty, you know long time no proper cleaning. Junior suite is a perfect choice for families with children, with reasonable price change you will get quite a comfortable solution compared to one room variant. One guard was helpful when I was asking smth. Mostly workers have positive attitude to clients but managing is from Soviet time so real good service never appears bec no multitasking allowed. Shuttle bus to nearest metro station is good and helpful if you are able to use also good Moscow public transportation.

Miinukset: Russia is always Russia and these Hotels which have existing already Soviet time cannot change their culture. New stuff (even young people) act like Soviet time))). For example when coming to hotel, I didnt actually wait the porter so I found some trolleys nicely put near the front door, none of them had proper wheels, all flat))). Nobody acted to help me, one admin guy was just standing and looking valuable... Receptionist told us that she will call a porter, good!, And when she called to admin finally we understood there was nobody to help us.... So I returned to original plan and took the luggage myself, not using any equipment... In Russian system in organizations everyone keeps the clearly defined task given, no multitasking anywhere, no service according to situation, thats why everything works so clumsy. Actually the reason for this is the culture and managing, which is not changing anyhow to modern way. But I knew this, so mostly this was just a good joke!! There were also some more stories like this but too long to write... But you need to see this yourself and enjoy!!! Room service worked very fast!!! (reason most likely that they worked only with cash money...)))))

Miinukset: Breackfast was frozen food. I think It's not valuable as much as i paid (3Gbp per a day).

Plussat: wonderful kitchen

Miinukset: there are locals hostel, who live here like at home or studens dormitory. They work, study and live here.

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.
