Fifth Corner (Pyaty Ugol)

Frommer's Review

There's nothing historic about this fresh, roomy, and welcoming hotel -- and that's just fine. Offering the best of modern conveniences at reasonable prices, Fifth Corner is two floors of rooms in an apartment building that opened as a hotel in 2003. The up-and-coming neighborhood, called "Five Corners" because of its confusing intersection, hosts an array of casual cafes, jeans shops, music stores, and more. The hotel's biggest drawback is the three-story climb up a wide, orange staircase to reach the lobby -- no elevator is available. You could look at it as a mini-gym, since the hotel has no health club of its own. The hotel attracts both Russian and international visitors, but it's too small for tour groups. The young, eager staff are open to suggestions. Unlike most Russian hotels of comparable size and standard, this one offers baby beds and babysitting, and a child-friendly cafe. Some bathrooms have shower only, but they're all clean and spacious.
