This hotel is located outside Moscow in nice relatively fresh-air location. It has one of the few nice golf courses in Russia. Otherwise, nothing special...

DO NOT stay at this hotel unless you really have to. I stayed at the country club for 2 nights for a conference, luckily the company paid the entire stay but it was still a big disappointment. The rates are really overpriced considering what you get. My company had to fork out a ridiculous amount of money to organise this conference and received no help whatsoever from the staff. We had to set up the conference room and even move chairs around.

I can think long and hard but I don't have anything positive to say about this hotel. I was staying in a delux room which was really spacious and the decor was ok but I have seen what the standard rooms look like and they are quite simply apalling. Scratches on the walls, dated furniture, boiling hot, beds you sit on and your bum ends up on the floor, you name it. I would be interested to know how they got a 5-star rating...

The things I hated the most: I found hair in my food, the building looks like a council estate, the staff don't speak English at all, wifi internet was expensive and very unreliable, it takes about 3 hours by taxi to get there from Domodedovo and 3000 ruples. The chairs in the conference room and restaurant are stained and dirty...

I won't be rushing back!!

Do not go to this hotel unless you are at a Conference. If you go here as part of a conference - then bad luck !
Now run totally by Russians there is no idea of courtesy or service to the paying customer.
When we arrived in a small group (booked via hotel website) at 8pm at night (it took 3 hours by car from city centre even though it is 28km) all restaurants were closed due to a conference function.
The only opportunity to eat was at the lobby bar where the music from the conference function was so loud you could not speak.
GET THIS - there was a lady at the lobby bar with a little dog who was walking up and down the bar eating the peanuts - the bar staff thought it was hilarious !!!!
Rooms are small faded and pokey. The facilities were once good but now faded.
Watch out the scrambled egg at breakfast smells of fish

be afraid, very afraid

We stayed with friends at the hotel in August 2007 to celebrate a birthday. We live in Moscow, so were well aware of its proximity to Moscow city. And that's just what we wanted. To get out of town for the weekend. Unfortunately, that's the only thing this hotel has going for it. Our room was very under-par for a 5 star hotel. Stained carpets, stained sofa, everything very shabby. There's an apartment block on the site which looks like a Moscow suburb Soviet residential area. And the sports complex is lacking in architectural niceties and decent equipment. The management didn't tell us that two restaurants (the two best) would be shut on the Saturday night for a wedding and a golf tournament celebration, so we ate Saturday night at the Sports Complex restaurant - extremely disappointing. We booked the room on the Le Meridian global website and were quoted a room price in USD. When we checked out, that rate had been transformed into "currency equivalent" - a Russian trait which equates neither to USD nor to Euro. Their "currency equivalent" is set at 30 rubles per CE. So that meant that, instead of 285 USD we were charged 285 CE which works out at 327 USD per night. The lounging area outside the indoor pool for sunbathing is tiny, despite all the space. The area housing filtration systems and other mechnical necessities for the area is situated right next to the pool lounge area, so it looks like you're sunbathing next to an industrial complex. And the outdoor pool is no bigger than a plunge pool. All together a very disappointing experience and one which we will not repeat. It certainly should not be a Le Meridien brand hotel. And if it's 5 stars, then that's 5 Russian stars. Basically a 3 star European complex.
