“Katerina City Hotel, Moscow”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

This hotel has a lot to recommend it. In a city which always feels like the most expensive on earth and where hotel prices can induce incredulous laughter, the Katerina is good VFM. Staff are friendly and helpful, their English is good, the menu is generous, and the birdsong in the breakfast room in the morning such a pleasant relief from piped music as well as being relaxing. Further, you can get served dinner up to midnight - very civilised compared with some British hotels where dinner is impossible after 9.30pm. Rooms are clean and comfortable and free of the silly fripperies that other business hotels offer only to be able to charge a fortune for. TV channel selection could be wider, though, with a diet of BBC World and CNN grating a bit after a while.

Room Tip: Rooms at the front of the hotel have a better view........ well a view.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking time to write a review. It is great to hear you found our hotel good value for money (VFM). Restaurant is, as you write, open until 24:00, and we also serve many main courses 24/7 - in the bar or from Room Service.
Glad you liked the birdsong in the morning :) Will review the TV channel selection, perhaps we could add some channels. We really hope to see you soon again! Katerina Cronstedt Managing Director Katerina Hotels

“A good hotel for a business traveller”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

The hotel is very conveniently located about 5 minutes’ walk from the nearest metro station and very close to the river, so if you don’t mind long walks, you can actually walk to the city center along the embankment. Although it is a stone’s throw away from the Garden Ring, it is fairly quiet.

The restaurant serves very good breakfast, which is included in the room rate. Quite surprisingly, the mini-bar is also included, as well as the hotel sauna and the fitness centre. Wi-Fi is also free, and it worked perfectly in the room. The room was nice, clean, and functional.

Everyone knows that hotels are generally overpriced in Moscow so I would highly recommend this one, which is not too expensive and definitely worth the price. If you come to Moscow on business, go for it.

Dear Guest, I was really glad to read your review – great that you found our hotel conveniently located, with good breakfast and nice, clean, functional rooms. We agree that Wi Fi is very important – so it is not only free - it is also very easy to connect. No 23-digit codes :) The walk to city center you mention is really pleasant when the weather allows – good tip to fellow travelers. Thank you for sharing your opinion, we hope to see you soon again!

“Katerina City Hotel - a clean well managed hotel in central Moscow”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

people found this review helpful

The scandinavian touch and overall cleanliness shows, as do the extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff, the non smoking policy and the sauna in the basement. The free mini bar concvept is an interesting one. Breakfast and other meals in hotel if having a night off from busy Moscow street - all good. Location great - a walk to Kremlin and of course Metro just around the corner. Fully recommend

Room Tip: Rooms facing the river and up high give a great placid view for a megacity.

“Excellent city hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Convenient for business with easy (for Moscow) access to southern district. Spotlessly clean with a Scandinavian theme taken through into the restaurant.

Stayed there for six weeks and the staff were friendly and helpful. Best, and free, WiFi I've ever experienced.

I was overcharged since my trip duration had changed. When the staff realized (I didn't) they came and found me, explained what had happened and made the refund there and then.

Missed a room safe for keeping those bits and pieces,

Outside and across the footbridge - nice pub.

Will stay again.

Room Tip: Aircon is very noisy so turn off at night.
