The capital of great Russia itself resembles a state within a state, with its own laws and money, or rather, prices. Everyone knows that living in Moscow is an order of magnitude higher than in other Russian cities. In this article, we will try to find out if tourists have the opportunity to find accommodation at affordable prices that Moscow hotels and apartments, hotels and hostels offer.
Affordable accommodation in Moscow
Tour operators monitoring the temporary housing market in the Russian capital name areas where relatively inexpensive accommodation options can be found. You need to look for them outside the famous Garden Ring, from the positive aspects of living here we can note the following: democratic prices; cozy, green (in summer), quiet areas; developed transport infrastructure.
The main disadvantage is its remoteness from historical and cultural attractions. If a guest is going to live in Moscow for at least a week, he may well choose this option, because he has enough time to get to the center and have time to see all the architectural masterpieces and business cards of the capital.
If a tourist has only a few days left, then it is better to choose a hotel or a hotel near Red Square, so as not to waste extra time moving around the city, given the notorious Moscow traffic jams. Or settle closer to the metro line, since this type of movement is considered the fastest and does not depend on traffic jams.
There are options to reduce the cost of living - in many hotels they make concessions to the client if they bargain. But you also need to be prepared for unpleasant surprises, for example, in some hotels the room rate is indicated without VAT; when calculating, the client will pay more than originally expected. You should also first clarify whether breakfast is included in the price or whether it will be charged additionally. The same applies to Wi-Fi, in the halls it is usually free of charge, while using it in the room, a fee may be charged.
Hostels - a new type of accommodation for tourists
Moscow, in terms of providing housing to foreign guests, does not lag behind the world's leading capitals. In recent years, the number of hostels in the Russian capital has significantly increased, which are designed for a completely unassuming (in terms of living conditions) traveler who is not going to spend a lot of time in a room.
The most common option is hostels, consisting of small rooms that can accommodate from 4 to 12 people, the cost of such housing is from 500 Russian rubles per person per day. Before settling in, it is important to clarify the point about "female" and "male" living rooms, since in many such places the rooms are common. Many of these democratic hotels have quite a nice look, are renovated and offer quite comfortable accommodation. Bathrooms and toilets are located outside the rooms, and many accommodations offer breakfast or use a shared kitchen. Other amenities include automatic washing machines and free Wi-Fi.

In Moscow, you can find almost all representatives of the world's hotel chains, the prices in them are quite high, and therefore there is a kind of struggle for each client, for this the following methods are used:
- systems of discounts and promotions;
- pre-booking possibilities;
- organization of recreation with children;
- provision of excursion services.
So, I would like to note the following in the end: Moscow is hospitable, there are various accommodation options for guests, from very comfortable 5 * hotels to democratic hostels. The choice remains with the guest.
