The Property — Like
Like Hotel is a no-fuss budget stay a few blocks from the Kremlin. The lobby is compact, with a small reception desk, a vending machine for snacks, and a worn leather sofa. It suits independent travellers or couples who just need a clean, central base. There's no restaurant or bar, but a basic breakfast is available. The vibe is pure function, not charm.
Chronicles of Moscow
Moscow was first mentioned in 1147 and grew around the Kremlin fortress. Ivan III rebuilt the Kremlin in red brick in the late 15th century, setting the city's architectural spine. Peter the Great moved the capital to St Petersburg in 1712, but Moscow remained the spiritual heart. After the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks made it the Soviet capital again, adding monumental Stalinist skyscrapers. Today it’s a brash, business-driven metropolis, with medieval churches and glass towers cheek by jowl.
Best Time to Visit
Full Moscow guide →Best months
June to August. July is warmest, average high 24°C, and the city is green, with long daylight hours. Crowds are bigger but not oppressive outside Red Square.
Peak / festival surge
Late December to early January (New Year holidays) is the busiest, with city-wide festivities and high hotel demand. Prices double or triple. May 9 (Victory Day) also spikes.
Budget shoulder season
May and September are the sweet spot: mild weather, fewer tourists, and hotel rates drop 30–40% from peak. You’ll need a light jacket, but it’s comfortable for walking.
Weather & packing
Moscow summers bring sudden downpours; an umbrella is non-negotiable. Pack layers: a T-shirt and a thin waterproof jacket will cover most days.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Like, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on floors 4-6 at the back of the building, away from Tverskaya Street. These mid-high floors offer quieter conditions and reasonable natural light without the top-floor heat in summer.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1-2 facing the street. The hotel's 3-star rating and Moscow address suggest a main road position with traffic and pedestrian noise. Lower floors also pick up lobby and lift activity.
Best views
Rooms overlooking the inner courtyard (if the hotel has one) give a quieter outlook onto typical Moscow apartment buildings and trees. Street-facing rooms show the busy Tverskaya scene but come with noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 4-6, rear-facing rooms. Mid-level floors avoid street-level rumble and are far enough from any rooftop machinery if the building has a flat roof.
🔊 Noise notes
Tverskaya is a main arterial road in central Moscow with heavy traffic from early morning until late evening, including honking and sirens. The hotel entrance itself may have smokers or groups gathering. Lift doors can be audible in adjacent rooms, especially on lower floors.
Insider tips
1. Request a courtyard-facing room on floors 4-6 when booking; call the hotel directly a few days before arrival to confirm. 2. The hotel likely has a 24-hour reception – check-in after 10pm is usually quieter, but avoid bringing luggage through the lobby during the 7-9am breakfast rush.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

💡 Use Yandex Go rather than airport taxi desks to avoid massive surcharges. Choose Comfort class for reliable AC, especially in summer. Make sure the pickup point is correct—SVO has three terminals.
Sheremetyevo Airport (SVO) → Paveletsky Rail Terminal
💡 Buy tickets online or via app for 420 RUB (vs 500 at station). From Paveletsky terminal, it's a 5-minute walk to the hotel through the shopping gallery—stay above ground, don't use the underpass.
Paveletskaya Metro Station (green line) → Adagio Moscow Paveletskaya
💡 Tap either a Troika card or contactless bank card at the turnstile. Exit toward the shopping centre (ТЦ Павелецкий), then cross the road—hotel entrance is on the corner of Kozhevnicheskaya. Avoid the pedestrian underpass; it's grubby and needlessly long.
Sheremetyevo Airport (SVO), stop 'Terminal A' → Paveletsky Rail Terminal
