Mayakovka House is a lucky find for us in Moscow. It is a very good hotel and we can highly recommend a stay.
Location
The location of the hotel is excellent. It is in a side street off Tverskaya Street (the main street in Moscow) and about a 5-minute walk to the closest metro – Mayakovskaya Metro Station. It is about a 20 minute walk to Red Square or just two stops on the Metro.
The area around the hotel is very interesting – there are a number of theatres, shops and a pretty park – Patriarch’s Ponds Park, a short walk away.
In the same street as the hotel, there are two good restaurants, a pharmacy and a store selling takeaway food, cakes, pastries, drinks, etc. Around the corner on Tverskaya Street there is a very good grocery store called Daily.
Studio Room 325
We have Room 325 – a very spacious Studio with private bathroom on the top floor (there is a lift). Our Studio room has a large bed plus sofa bed. We also have an armchair, a wardrobe, a large white shelving unit, a small round table and 2 chairs, chest of drawers with TV on top, a small refrigerator, electric kettle, coat rack and hooks near the front door. There is a large skylight type window that we can open for fresh air.
The bathroom is a good size with shower, basin and toilet. There are soap dispensers and a hairdryer.
Reception
The staff at Reception are very helpful and if they don’t understand English they make a big effort – we sometimes use Google Translate to communicate!
TeaBakery Cafe
We love the TeaBakery café opposite Reception on the ground floor, where we have a delicious and inexpensive breakfast each day. The café is open from 8am until 8pm every day for breakfast, coffee, cake and light meals.
Note
Be careful when booking rooms at Mayakovka House, as some rooms don’t have a window.

This is a cool restaurant with very attentive and helpful staff. We had delicious meals including chicken fillet, BBQ vegetables, salmon and beef fillet – all good value for money. The lemon cake was wonderful. We can highly recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner.
Casa di Mosca
An excellent restaurant with friendly service – delicious pasta and beef stroganoff – good value for money. Be sure to have some cash with you at this restaurant, as our Australian credit cards were not accepted.
