Sheremetyevo 2 Hotel Complex    K    +7 (095) 578-5753

Street Address: Across the street from the airport. Moscow region.

Location: Very good if you need to be near Sheremetyevo 2 Airport. The location is quite poor if you want to visit Red Square.

Nearest Metro: Rechnoy Vokzal... take bus 851 to get there.

Staff Speaks English? Just a little.

Would I Stay Here? Hmm... I don't know? Novatel across the street is far better.

* Soviet Style *
* Customer Service Attitude Is Very Poor (Sucks) Compared To Novotel Across The Street *

I was unimpressed with the soviet-style front desk. Their competitor across the street, Novotel Sheremetyevo 2 Moscow Airport Hotel, is way, way superior in all aspects with the exception of price. Prices range from 960 to 6500 rubles as of April 3, 2004. They would not permit me to see the rooms. (I need the director's permission!) They wanted me to travel 20 miles on some other day to come here for my facility tour. Any rooms that are close to 960 rubles are almost certain to be very poor quality rooms.

What I like about Sheremetyevo 2 is they have a fairly large fish tank in the lobby area and they have internet access available 24 hours a day for 150 rubles an hour. I didn't see internet computers at Novatel.

The currency exchange rate at Sheremetyevo 2 Hotel Complex was very poor (predatory) and Novatel's was surprisingly good and at the market rate.

Slot machines are also at Shermetyevo 2 Hotel Complex.. It's a pity I couldn't see the rooms. They flat-out refused. This usually means the rooms are bad. I don't like soviet-style hotels.

If you must stay here, then it is possible I guess to walk across the street to enjoy the Novotel's good restaurants and far more comfortable surroundings. Just be very careful crossing the street. Drivers in Russia, and especially in Moscow, are extremely reckless, dangerous and discourteous. If they run you over, they will think it was all your fault for being in the way.

I was lucky enough to spend one night in this hotel courtesy of Aeroflot canceling my flight. First impression is good, the lobby is nice the bar looks good and security is tight. That’s as good as it gets though. The rooms have very uncomfortable beds (but everywhere I stayed did). The bathroom was small and pokey with an annoying shower that you had to hold onto as it kept falling of the stand. I had a room that looked over the roof and other businesses and was close enough to the runway that the room shook and was noisy. We had dinner in a restaurant that was out the main doors, down the ramp and looked like it was in a building site. The service was shocking. Beers in the hotel bar were expensive, but that’s expected by the airport.

On a positive note the airport is only a 10min easy walk away to terminal 2 and there are a couple of very attractive girls on reception at the hotel.

I only stayed because Aeroflot paid for it, (that explains it all), if I had the choice I would stay over the road at the Novotel that looks very nice inside and out.

Have you stayed at this hotel? What is your assessment? Send it in. We'll post it here.
