This street address translates to "hotel street." Zarya has several buildings. Their brochure says they have 635 rooms. The nicest of these rooms is at Building #12. It appears they are calling this building "Hotel Irbis." I like this street on this block. There is like a little park in the middle of the street with a walking path. I just like it.

The first room I was shown was 322. And I've got to say "Wow... what a bathroom!" This is a luxury suite. It goes for 5600 rubles. The suite is air-conditioned and is very comfortable.

Room 318 is a "half lux." Nice. 3500 rubles.

Room 311 is "double standard." It has air-conditioning and is nice. 2300 rubles.

Room 303 is a standard with twin beds for 2300 rubles.

Room 424A is a luxury suite with a jacuzzi in the main room (next to the large bed). A separate room is a child's bedroom.

Room 422 - I noticed a smell.

Room 419 is a half lux with 2 rooms. They say the price is the same for the half lux whether it has one or two rooms.

Room 518 is a standard single for 1800 rubles. It has a 20 inch TV.

The rooms are good quality, and breakfast is included in the price. It seems that all the rooms have paintings (reproductions) of Paris, plus a small water cooler.

On the ground floor is a bank, cash machine and a small cafe. The location is a bit far from things, but I liked this building of the hotel (Building #12).

Hotel Zolotoy Kolos     K     +7 (095) 217-6666        www.zkolos.ru

Street Address: Yaroslavaskaya Ulitsa, 15 - Moscow, Russia

Location: Very good if you want to go to the exhibition center.

Nearest Metro: VDNKh

Staff Speaks English? Maybe a little. But don't count on it.

Would I Stay Here? Yes.

The Zolotoy Kolos has a brand new, modern-style lobby with white and dark-pink colors. There are 5 floors. I saw nice new corridors.

Room 310 had an old bathroom and the bedroom was a little dated.

Room 316 was old and had a slight mustiness in the air.

Room 319 was old.

And then I saw a renovated room. It was beautiful. Cost: just 2200 rubles (3/27/2004).

Room 519 was new and good, but the cream colored got trashed with dirty shoes and the carpet needs shampooing. Cost: 2900 rubles. The hotels is very close to the giant Cosmos Hotel and the exhibition center. A superior hotel is their neighbor, the Dinaoda Hotel.
