It was way better before. The quality of the breakfast became very low. Their coffee machine didn't work and nobody seemed to care. My last visit was not a pleasant one.
I liked the hotel. The staff is helpful. The breakfasts are boring, so-so - I preferred to go to other places for breakfast. The hotel itself is very good, it's almost a historical center, a few minutes on foot and you're on the local Arbat. The grocery store is a minute's walk away. The exchangers are also close. The metro is a 10-minute walk away. 28 Panfilovtsev Park is a 20-minute walk away. It's about the same to the Green Market. It's a long way to the main Museum and uphill, but you can get a couple of metro stations and then walk for 10 minutes.
