I agree with what was written about Travel Reviews, I'd trust more posters here or travel guidebooks than  reviews  by anonymous posters on websites

Not sure if a pinch of salt is enough when reading hotel or restaurant reviews.

Not sure if a pinch of salt is enough when reading hotel or restaurant reviews.

for reading is enough but to follow those recommendations or to discard places based on them you need definitely bucket , not pinch and it's not that people are exaggerating either way,

 

simply if you don't know who is writing you can't assess wisdom received in a such was adequately reflecting facts on a ground .

 

Person paying lots of attention to ambiance may be overlooking that food in beautiful restaurant was mediocre, gay customer impressed with waiters line up may be over enthusiastic when comes to the food and cleaniness  etc

Wrong

 

It is living area building with apts at Kotelnicheskaya embankment. Google street view https://goo.gl/maps/Bk2Jvrc5AAK2

 

MSU is few times bigger. Google street view https://goo.gl/maps/bfThT4XptFp

 

 

Hotel Ukraine is now Radisson, google street view https://goo.gl/maps/hwgQBMKVER22

 

 

you aren't alone, GettiImage also attributed it wrong
 

Full name of formerly "Ukraine" is "Radisson Royal hotel Moscow", it has own fleet of ships for river cruises.

 

[Guest buckbee]

Busted!!!! hahahah   Hey Moses thanks for pointing that out.... So what should be the caption? Is it still a part of Stalin's 7? 

[Moses]

Yeah, for your photo caption is "Residential building "Kotelnicheskaya embankment" - one of "Stalin's style" 7 buildings", but in your article author wrote about hotel "Ukraine" - now hotel Radisson (2 bottom photos).

[Guest buckbee]

Hi Moses, I spoke to the contributor and he said you're definitely right!! lol The caption has been changed and (now the Radisson Royal Hotel) added, thanks for your help correcting this
