Ast Hof Hotel Moscow

We booked this hotel through our touro company - otherwise we wouldn't have considered staying here. It cost much more than we wanted to spend: over €100 a night, whereas our plan for the year was to stay in hostels and cheap places.

It would have been less bad if the hotel had been nice, but it wasn't. They gave us a tired room with a dirty carpet full of cigarette burns, and the button to call the lift on our floor didn't work.

The staff were rude, apart from one girl who worked on reception who was lovely and went out of her way to help us.

The breakfast was included in our room price, and was a buffet, so I did my best to eat as much as I could and get some of our money back!

I wouldn't recommend that you choose this hotel; there must be better ones for the same money, or cheaper ones for the same quality.
