Moscow has changed a lot in the past few years. After my last trip here in 2008 I should admit that it is much more modern now. I traveled with business purposes, but wanted to stay in the center as it's very convenient. Vanilla bnb opened 2 years ago, so it's new and fresh. I chose it because of spacious... More

In my opinion it's the best place to stay in Moscow. Great location, nice design and very friendly staff. Room don't have bathroom, but they are quite spacious. Upon arrival we could have our room at 10AM free of charge as it was available. When you check-out, and it's important for some travellers, you can leave your bags till 10PM... More

Vanilla helped as get an invitation to Russia. It was easy to book. Basically it is about 4 rooms with shared kitchen and bath. The manager is not there much so it is a bit difficult to check out. The room is ancient but updated. The room was big the bed was comfy and the kitchen and bath were very... More

I assume that this was a family apartment turned into a B&B. There are only four rooms and one (#1) appears to have been the parlor. I stayed in #4 with two twin beds. It would have been quite cramped for two people and luggage but fine for one person. The free wifi router is located in the kitchen so... More

PROS: The worker met us and spoke good english which was helpful. On the 3rd night We needed to stay till midnight when our train left and we were allowed to stay in the room for half day price till midnight which was very nice. They asked for our laundry and did a very nice job. Located in a nice... More

Moscow is great and energetic city, the only minus is that most people outside don't speak a word of English. After making reservation at Vanilla, I received proper directions from the airport and metro, so I had no problem finding the place. I arranged my invitation for whole trip in Russia with them and it was emailed the same day,... More

Unfortunately, nothing like the pictures on the website. This apartment should have been restored long ago!!! We've been at vanilla for 3 nights in september 2012. It's true what everybody here wrote.It's really difficult to find it. But unfortunately this is not the biggest problem about vanilla. I have to say that i was a bit shocked about the standard...

We had problems finding it, as there is no sign, but the location is good and the rooms are charming, though dated. The bathroom is in serious need of both update and repair, doorknobs in all rooms are constantly falling off, but still I'd say that it is quite good value for the money. I asked the staff if I...

Positives : Good location, Good breakfast (muesli, yoghurt, toast) , free wifi, clean rooms. Negatives: Tiles falling off in the shower, hard to find - no signage. General comments: Our group went on a low budget and were more than satisfied with our stay. The free wifi was a bonus as we were not expecting it. I would stay here... More
