 * An Elite Soviet Hotel *
* Very Interesting *

The Sovietsky is a very interesting place to stay. I was immediately impressed with its white marble lobby. The hotel was built in 1951 and it clearly was made to be an elite hotel. I arrived here at 11am on March 26, 2004. A pianist was playing in a first floor cafe area so perfectly. It was wonderful. I saw numerous large marble columns, and sharply dressed hotel staff. Photos of celebrities who had stayed at the hotel were on a wall. The photos included Arnold Schwarzenneger and Chuck Norris. They might have stayed here for the "Planet Fitness" health club, which is in the building.

The Sovietsky has a good service attitude and it was no trouble to see the rooms. There is a palace-like 4 story split marble stairwell. Ceilings in the corridors and guest rooms are high. The rooms are vintage - old furniture, old bathrooms. The best rooms have air conditioning and renovated bathrooms.

Back to the lobby... it oozes high quality. The first floor has really interesting, elegant surroundings. There is a nice restaurant and an incredible old Gypsy theater. It is beautiful and ornate and in excellent condition. I was quite surprised and impressed with it. A night club and casino is on the bottom floor. Internet access is just $8 an hour, which is cheap for a Moscow hotel.

Rooms start at $95 and go up to $187 (as of 3/26/2004), which is a bargain. The Sovietsky is a quality hotel, but remember - these are vintage rooms. It's not the Hyatt. Compared to the Leningradsky Hotel, which is another old, soviet, vintage hotel, the Sovietsky is more attractive and has more quality of life things. (The Sovietsky looks older that its 53 years.)

Subject: review on hotel sovietsky, Moscow
To:  
Hello,
 
I read your review on this hotel. I agree with it. Even more, I'd like to add a few extra pleasant things.
- on arriving you receive a welcome glass of champagne
- the rooms are huge and give a 'feel at home' and not 'feel in a chain-hotel' atmosphere
- the old Gypsy theater has a go-go dance and show performance every night. Perfect dances on stage during dinner.
- security is there, but staff remembers who is a guest, so not to show hotelcard every time one comes back in the hotel ore enters the elevator
- the hotel is not to big, apart from piano in the mroning there is also harpplaying in the evening
- there are no-touristgroups there.
 
In fact I should not say all this and keep the place secret, for myself, but I cannot keep silent beacuase I like it very much.
