Three-Star Hotels in Moscow

Moscow’s Standard Hotels are well-equipped 3-star and 4-star properties offering affordable accommodation that conforms to international standards. While they do not offer a full range of luxury guest services, Standard Hotels are guaranteed to offer a reasonable range of business and concierge services, and most offer on-site dining and some leisure amenities. Few Standard Hotels are located in the very centre of Moscow, but all are close to metro stations.

3 star hotels in Moscow is an ideal choice for those who want to enjoy comfort for a reasonable price. When you book a stay at a three star hotel in Moscow, you’ll get access to perfect little perks like on-site restaurants and cocktail bars, well-appointed fitness centers, and spacious rooms.

This type of hotel will always have a restaurant — often more than one. A real kaleidoscope of national culinary traditions can be found in Moscow’s 3-star hotels: Italian (The Salute Hotel), Arab (Hermitage), Chinese and Korean (Astrus), Georgian (Tourist), as well as flights of designers’ fancies in the interiors (at The Vega Hotel, for example, all the restaurants are designed in the styles of various periods).

Three-star hotels are just as suitable for business trips as for holidays. The majority of them have modern business centers that are well equipped for holding various events.

The standard of service in Moscow hotels is improving day by day and is now virtually indistinguishable from that in Europe. Quality furniture and reliable appliances meet the functional aspect of your stay, while various elements of decor and interesting design features can give your hotel room a warm, almost homelike atmosphere.

3-star hotels provide all the services necessary for a full-value stay. Sometimes the only difference between 3-star and 5-star hotels is in the size of the rooms. In such hotels, in addition to the customary services, guests can visit a nightclub or a bowling alley (The Astrus Hotel, for instance, has one of the largest bowling alleys in Moscow with eight lanes, as well as seven tables for Russian billiards and four for American pool), a sauna, a beauty salon, a medical center and other additional services to make your stay more comfortable. In many hotels holidaymakers will find well-equipped gyms, and in some — full sports centers.

Prices vary, of course, but you are unlikely to have to pay more than 90 to 110 dollars a night for a 3-star hotel in Moscow. In addition, most of the hotels offer a variety of discounts, special offers and promotions: outside the peak periods of New Year and the three summer months some amazing reductions are available, sometimes up to 50-60%.
