Cheap Hotel in Moscow
I noticed a new cheap hotel in my neighborhood in Moscow today, so thought I'd post about it. It is in Kitai Gorod, which is an excellent area right in the middle of Moscow, about a ten minute walk from Red Square. Kitai Gorod is part of "old Moscow" and unlike most of Moscow has small streets and buildings, and lots of cafes, restaurants, shops, bars, etc.--very European. I can almost guarantee that you'll like the neighborhood--I live there so know it well.
The hotel is called Maralunga; the address is Maroseika Street, 9/2, tel +7 915 097 93 61, URL: Maralunga | Main page
Rooms are 3,000-4,500 rubles; hotel has a courtyard where you can park bikes. I didn't ask if the courtyard is secure, but at least your bike will be off the street. It is nothing fancy, but I looked at the rooms and they seem fully adequate for your average moto traveler.
I don't have any affiliation with the hotel, but I think it might be a good place to stay for someone visiting Moscow.

Hotel in Moscow
Thanks for that information motoreiter. We are crossing Russia this year from East to West arriving in Vladivostok on the 8th of June. I guess you have to book a far way in advance for August?
Cheers,
Carol & Ken Duval

Not sure, but I probably wouldn't bother to make reservations. My understanding is that tourism is way down in Russia, and there is essentially no business travel in August.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
