A very nice property, but as a non-smoker, no matter where you went in this hotel, it smelled like smoke. Bed were comfortable, but also smelled of smoke. The bathrooms are a bit strange, with the lights on the side, but in general this is a decent property. The views from dome of the hotel rooms are great and the... more

Most of the other reviews are spot on, so I will only try to add new comments (except to reiterate how expensive Moscow is). If you are in Moscow for the first time, don't mind getting ripped off, want a super safe and centrally located hotel with 3-star level comfort - This is YOUR hotel!!! (Okay, I haven't stayed in... more

This hotel is located in "position A" for both business and sightseeing. Ask for a river view and you also will have a shot of seeing Red Square and the Kremlin from your room. Rates here are extremely expensive, as it is very central to Moscow. For what you are paying, the staff was disappointing when it came to arranging... more

Stayed at the Baltschug Kempinski for 2 nights in November for business, my first trip to Moscow. Overall, I rate the hotel highly. Pros: - The decor is nice and somewhat elegant. The Hyatt Ararat and Ritz Carlton would probably be a bit nicer, but it's still quite good - Room was very spacious - Very good amenities such as... more

The Kempinski has good and bad aspects. Good: rooms are clean and modern even if not luxurious. Comfy beds. good breakfast (liked the fresh fruit juices and a decent cappuccino too) staff polite (well, by Moscow standards anyway) can sit in bar area at night without being pestered by prostitutes (unlike the National) Bad: location - there is nothing near... more

Moscow has got to be the most expensive city in the world!! This hotel is not cheap. To give you an idea, a cup of capuccino coffee in the lobby costs ten US dollars!! It is a good cup of coffee but overpriced. So is everything else in Moscow. This hotel is very comfortable, has excellent amenities and the service... more

We enjoyed the stay at the Kempinski Hotel very much. The staff is very friendly, helpfull and attentive, it s an outstanding performance in comparisson with other 5 star hotels in the same propoerty. We felt very secure and comfortable. The location is excellent, the view amazing. Best breakfast in town. The rooms renovated and very clean. Will come back... more

Stayed here for 10 days. This was one of the first 'international' chain hotels to arrive in Moscow and boy can you tell. No thought has been put into the decor, service, or any aspect of the hotel. It is like someone gave the management a manual and they ran through it from A to Z. Certainly there is everything... more

I had the most fantastic view of St Basil's from my room. The room was huge and had an enormous flat screen tv with loads of English entertainment channels. The bathroom was well appointed. However I noticed that it wasn't as clean as it might have been. The decor was a bit overpowering in strong red but the bed was... more
