Hotel Baltschug Kempinski, Moscow
Expert reviews
“The view is as amazing as it used to be when the building held artists’ studios, but no doubt the rooms are much more luxurious. They are all large and comfortable, and come in several classy designs, with muted colors and rich fabrics.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Moscow.
“Many of the stately and well-equipped rooms at this deluxe hotel, perched on the banks of the Moskva River, have extraordinary views of the Kremlin and Red Square.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Moscow.
“As the first international five-star hotel in post-Soviet Russia, the Kempinski has kept up with the competition via constantly renovated luxurious interiors, top-notch amenities and pristine service. The prime location across the river from Red Square and the Kremlin doesn’t hurt either.”

Very fancy beautiful rooms elegant bathroom.staff was very helpful.the location is great one short walk across the bridge and your in Red Square
When things were said And done it was a little more expensive than i wanted it.But that is not really their fault you. If you want luxury you pay for it .

Passable
The front desk staff were not very helpful with the COVID test information, in fact they made it even worse by giving wrong info, when confronted they were not even apologetic and just brushed it off that it has nothing to do with them

Amazing location but sadly the employees need training and the rooms needs restorations
Amazing location, just a short walk away from the Kremlin.
The employees at the reception had a very arrogant manner to them. (except the older gentleman on the last day which did a fantastic job) A guest paying close to 1.000€ for three days can expect to be hosted with respect and courtesy. The rooms were ok but old and but broken in parts.

Waste of money
Breakfast is normal, nothing special to mention it.
I waited for 30 minutes to check-in, and i had to sit waiting for the key of the room for 3 hours. Even i sent email asking for early check-in.

Bad
Nothing !!
Very bad experience. Very pricy, and although location is within a walking distance to the Kremlin & Red square, there’s no single cafe, restaurant, supermarket or even a grocery shop nearby. Check-in/ check-out is very slow. Rooms are not glamours as in pix. Furniture is old & crappy. Food is terrible & I got food poisoning from the in-room dining. So I started eating outside, except for breakfast because I already paid for it. In general this place is not recommended at all. So save your money & time and book in any other hotel. Saleh Room 514.

Disappointing
The breakfast was good and concierge service was good .
The furniture is very old and the carpet in the room was old and disgusting , I didn’t even like to step on it. The whole hotel needs renovation. The reception had very few staff and couldn’t attend to us well. They need to be trained to be more polite to guests specially the ladies staff in reception.

I don't recommend this hotel for people who are planning to have good time at hotel in Moscow.
I likes the break fast specially the lady who is preparing the omelette. She is very nice, friendly, and speaking excellent English and little Arabic. The river view from the front side only is very nice.
I didn't like the way that reception staff is talking to customers as they are not friendly and not trying to help the customer to resolve any problem. Hotel floor and the room floor also are very old and making noise when stepping. There was alot of noice from outside id the hote as lots of construction currently is going on. The housekeeping cleaning also was bad. The used cups were not cleaned after using them. The curtains is not having full black out for the sun rays during day time. The value we paid is not meeting our expectation for a 5 star hotel.
