* Poorly Utilized Real Estate *

Geez.... this place is really bad. It's cheap, but be kind to yourself and choose to stay someplace else. This is poorly utilized real estate. Red Square is right down the road. The neighborhood is very desirable. And it is almost unbelievable that such a crappy hotel exists so close to the city's major tourist attractions.

For those that decide to save a few bucks and stay here, you're going to be roughing it. The rooms have a sink with cold water only. If you want to take a shower or use a toilet, you'll have to walk down the hall and use the communal showers and toilets... and they are crappy, dated facilities.

Maybe this hotel is okay for some Russians. But for western foreigners, this hotel is just not suitable.

The hotel has very tiny elevators that can fit 2 skinny people or maybe one portly person. There are many offices in the hotel, and with all of these different kinds of small businesses in the building, many outsiders are visiting. This gives me concerns for guest security. When I first arrived at the fourth floor, there was no security. Later a security guard was in place. But that lapse was not a good thing.

In visiting the communal toilets, I actually saw one stall that had spray paint graffiti. Check out the photo.

Do yourself a favor - pass on the Centralnaya.
