The Property — Loro
Loro is a compact, design-forward 3-star hotel just off Tverskaya Street, Moscow’s main shopping artery. The lobby feels like a minimalist cocktail bar – concrete floors, warm wood panels, and a neon sign that reads ‘Loro’ in cursive. It suits solo travellers or couples who want a smart, affordable base near Red Square without the chain-hotel blandness. Rooms are small but cleverly laid out, with good soundproofing and rain showers.
Chronicles of Moscow
Moscow was first mentioned in 1147 as a frontier outpost on the Moskva River. It grew into the seat of the Grand Duchy, then the Tsardom of Russia, and later the capital of the Soviet Union. The city’s architecture layers onion-domed Orthodox cathedrals (St. Basil’s, 1561) with Stalinist Gothic skyscrapers (the ‘Seven Sisters’) and contemporary glass towers in Moscow City. Today, it’s a brash, fast-paced capital that balances its imperial and Soviet past with a booming arts scene and world-class metro system.
Best Time to Visit
Full Moscow guide →Best months
May and June – long, warm evenings, parks in full bloom, and manageable tourist numbers before July’s peak. September also offers mild weather and golden autumnal light.
Peak / festival surge
July is peak season due to European summer holidays and the White Nights period in late June/early July. Hotel prices can double, and Red Square is packed. The Moscow International Film Festival in April also drives demand.
Budget shoulder season
August and early September offer discounts as families leave Moscow for holidays, while weather stays pleasant (20-25°C). October’s first half is also quiet and cheaper, though cooler.
Weather & packing
Moscow’s climate is continental: summers can suddenly turn chilly or rainy. Pack layers – a light waterproof jacket and a warm sweater always, even in July.
Live City Briefing — Moscow
- The Moscow Metro’s Big Circle Line (Line 11) fully opened in 2023, cutting travel times from Tverskaya to the south-east suburbs by 20 minutes. Check the new station Savyolovskaya for faster access to Loro.
- Gorky Park’s newly renovated Krymskaya Embankment now has a permanent outdoor art installation and extended bike lanes – a 15-minute walk from the hotel.
- Visa-free entry for citizens of 55 countries (including the UK and EU) remains suspended due to sanctions; you’ll need a standard tourist visa, issued within 10 working days.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Loro, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 4 to 6 facing the courtyard (if available). These floors sit above street-level bustle but are low enough for quick stair access if lifts are busy. Courtyard side avoids the worst of Tverskaya traffic noise.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms on floors 1 and 2 facing the street – Tverskaya is a major arterial road with heavy traffic from early morning. Also avoid rooms directly adjacent to the lift shaft on any floor (end of corridor near lift doors).
Best views
Front-facing rooms on floors 5-7 offer views of Tverskaya Street and the historic building facades opposite – good for people-watching but noisy. Courtyard views are peaceful but show neighbouring residential blocks.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 through 7 tend to be quieter, especially on the courtyard side. The building's lift core and stairwell cluster near the front, so interior-facing rooms on these floors are best.
🔊 Noise notes
Tverskaya Street carries constant traffic from 6am to midnight. The hotel's ground-floor bar and restaurant generate muffled noise until 11pm. Lift machinery hums faintly on all floors but is loudest near the lift bank on floors 1-3.
Insider tips
1) Check in after 3pm to request a specific floor – earlier arrivals often get stuck with low floors. 2) If you're a light sleeper, ask for a room on the courtyard side and bring earplugs; the hotel doesn't supply them. 3) Street parking is scarce; use the nearby Novokuznetskaya metro car park – cheaper and safer.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Russian Ruble, RUB
Use bank ATMs in Moscow for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at airports and tourist spots which have poor rates and high commissions.
Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in shops, cafes, and restaurants in central Moscow. Contactless payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay) work at most terminals. Carry cash for small stalls, markets, and tips.
In restaurants, leave 10-15% in cash if service isn't included. Taxis don't expect tips but rounding up is kind. Hotel staff appreciate 100-200 rubles for small services.

Near metro stations and busy streets, you'll find stalls selling pirozhki (stuffed buns) and shawarma for 150-300 rubles each.
Budget supermarket chains include Pyaterochka, Magnit, and Dixy — common across all districts.
Affordable shopping is at chain stores like Ostin, New Yorker, and Familia (discount retailer) in shopping centres.
A single metro token costs 70 rubles, but a Troika card with a 90-minute pass (81 rubles) is cheaper. From airports, take the Aeroexpress train (about 500 rubles) or a combination of bus + metro for around 100 rubles.
Use the Troika card for unlimited metro and bus rides within 90 minutes. Skip expensive restaurant breakfasts — grab pastries and coffee from a bakery or kiosk. Walk between central sights (they're close) to save on transport.

Sheremetyevo Airport (SVO) → Adagio Moscow Paveletskaya
💡 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
💡 Use this only if your flight lands after midnight and you're on a budget. The bus runs all night but is slow—expect 70–90 minutes with stops. Same ticket as metro. Alight at 'Paveletsky Vokzal' stop, then walk 5 minutes south to the hotel.
