Inexpensive ―three-star‖ hotels is the most popular type of accommodation with travelers all over the world. Moscow is no exception: every year more of such venues (место проведения) open in the Russian capital.
A hotel‘s ―star‖ rating depends on the number and quality of the services it provides, as well as the level of comfort it can offer its guests.
Standards
It is not generally known that there is a state standard specifying the minimum parameters of single and double rooms in 3-star hotels: 10 sq.m for singles, 14 sq.m for doubles, and 3.8 sq.m for the bathroom. In addition, according to the state standard, soap, shampoo and a hairdryer should be provided in the bathroom.
Amenities
There are certain obligatory features for a classic 3-star hotel. Various types of rooms must be available: single rooms and double or family rooms (in the latter case
extra beds can be provided). The services in each room, besides daily cleaning and changing of bed linen and towels, must include a telephone, a color TV and a refrigerator. This type of hotel will always have a restaurant — often more than one. Three-star hotels are just as suitable for business trips as for holidays. The majority of them have modern business centers that are well equipped for staging various events.
Location
There are few 3-star hotels in the very center of Moscow, though you will occasionally come across them in old buildings in historical districts. One of these is the cozy Hermitage Hotel, just 15 minutes‘ walk from the Kremlin.
The majority of 3-star hotels are in quiet picturesque corners of the city. The Vega Hotel, on the territory of a former estate of the Romanovs, is surrounded by an old park and picturesque ponds, while the Astrus Hotel is close to the magnificent Troparevo Park.

3- star hotels are most suitable for the majority of tourists. These hotels provide all the services necessary for a full-value stay, sometimes no inferior to those offered by hotels of a higher status. Sometimes the only difference between 3-star and 5-star hotels is in the size of the rooms. Prices vary, of course, but you are unlikely to have
to pay more than 90 to 110 dollars a night for a 3-star hotel in Moscow. In addition, most of the hotels offer a variety of discounts, special offers and promotions: outside the peak periods of New Year and the three summer months some amazing reductions (скидки) are available, sometimes up to 50-60%.
