Cheap hotels in Moscow

For a first visit, choose somewhere inside the Garden Ring, and ideally inside the Boulevard Ring. From there you can walk to the Kremlin, Tverskaya, Zaryadye and the Bolshoi Theatre, and reach the Tretyakov Gallery and Gorky Park in a couple of metro stops. Beyond the Third Ring Road, whatever you save on the room is often eaten up by taxis and time on the road.

An aparthotel room has a kitchen or at least a kitchenette, a fridge and quite often a washing machine, but the service stays hotel-style: front desk, housekeeping, security. Rates are usually better value when you book a week or longer up front. The format is convenient for business trips, long stays and families who want to cook and eat at their own pace.

The safest choice is a hotel next to the airport with a free shuttle to the terminals: that leaves about ten minutes to the check-in desk. A cheaper alternative is the hotels along Leningradsky Prospekt, from where Sheremetyevo is under an hour away by Aeroexpress or taxi.

The range in the capital is enormous: from a dorm place in a hostel to suites with Kremlin views in the historic grand hotels. Hostels and hotels beyond the Third Ring Road come out cheapest, while five-star addresses inside the Boulevard Ring and apartments in the Moscow City towers are the most expensive. Rates climb noticeably during major forums, trade fairs and public holidays, so it is worth booking well ahead for those dates.
