Cosmos Hotel

Cosmos is one of the largest and best-known hotels in Moscow. It stands right next to the famous VDNKh park and the metro station, which makes it an ideal choice for travellers looking for a comfortable stay with easy access to the whole city.

The hotel was built for the 1980 Olympic Games. It is known for its huge scale, spacious interiors and beautiful views over Moscow, especially from the upper floors.

Why we like it:

• Very reasonable prices compared with hotels in the city centre — double rooms start from about $45 a night (depending on season and booking date)
• A great location next to VDNKh and the Ostankino Tower
• A metro station right in front of the hotel for quick trips to the centre
• Spacious rooms suitable for individuals and families
• Restaurants inside the hotel and plenty of food options
• Full facilities such as a gym, sauna and large halls

Who is it for?

• First-time visitors to Moscow
• Tour groups and young travellers
• Anyone looking for a good price compared with central hotels
• Short or long stays with easy transport

Good to know:

Cosmos is a big, practical hotel rather than a modern luxury one — its strengths are comfort, location and service, not trendy design.
