Mövenpick Moscow Taganskaya 5 stars

We spent a one night stay in this new Mövenpick hotel near Taganskaya. We have mixed feelings about this stay : the room first, we were upgraded to a Deluxe room overlooking the Garden Ring on the 6th floor. The room was rather small, but well equipped. I would say that unfortunately the carpet was already not looking fresh and clean, and the room was noisy. I can only blame the bad quality of noise insulation from windows, and as traffic never stops on the garden ring, you should absolutely prefer rooms overlooking the back (not the garden ring !). We wanted to have a snack for lunch when we checked in. There is a rather fancy and interesting restaurant (that we tried finally for the diner) and a bar, both on the ground floor. My wife wanted to have a soup from the restaurant menu, and I wanted a club sandwich from the bar menu ; there was no solution offered to us to accommodate our choice, we should have eaten separately, me seating alone at the bar and my wife seating alone at the restaurant, though the two places are a few meters from each other’s, the staff was absolutely inflexible, and preferred to suggest us to have snacks outside, in close by places rather than to serve us what we wanted to eat ! About the spa, also mixed feelings: we went twice ; first time in a quiet moment (beginning of afternoon), very few clients, it was very good amenities. The second time, Sunday morning, it was busy, and everything was missing : no big towels, no bathrobes, no bottled water...the situation was out of control ! Finally about the restaurant Chagal, interesting place (there is not a lot of decent places in Taganskaya). Starters were very good as well as dessert, main course was a little “molecular type of setting”, and was finally not exceptional. The bill for the diner (above 10 000 roubles for two) is a little high in value for money.

Overall a great experience, but would be cool to see real marble in the bathroom instead of the plastic one and a bit bigger rooms wouldn't hurt :)

Great location, wonderful view from executive room, excellent shower and bath robes! The blanket is too hot though.

We stayed at the hotel for our anniversary and everything - service, facilities, food - was amazing. The staff gave us a very warm welcome and we LOVED every second of our stay. Definitely one of the best properties in the city!

The hotel is well located at the Garden Ring near the metro station. But it's also a disadvantage: it's really noisy in the room even at night Anyhow, overall experience was pleasant.
