Moscow Guest Houses - Reviews and Rates

Well what a day it has been. I am writting this as I sit in my room on the train. Our second day in Moscow comprised of going to a history museam which detailed the history of stalin and all the hitrositesthat he did during his rain in charge. In the museam they showed films about the time and gave interviews with some of the people from the cam...

Service and tourism are either still somewhat unwanted or just defined quite differently in Moscow. How things get done is just well inefficient - it is amusingly frustrating or frustratingly amusing. Take your pick. We returned to Hotel Zolokoi in the afternoon and retrieved our bags from building 4 and then walked across the street and down th...

But the real flavour of this city is in its nooks and crannies. The Red Square It's surreal that one finds there,not only the famous whimsical domes of St Basil's Cathedral and Lenin's Mausoleum,but also McD...

As Americans, we are taught to respect one anothers personal space and privacy. Well, you can throw that out the window, when you are in a sauna room with eight other naked Russian women. Having some reservations about the whole bania system, I hemed and hawed for a while. I thought it would be a neat experience, but didn't want to have to actua...
