Russia - moscow hotels

looking for advice on where to stay in moscow-somewhere not too pricey..
have lots of pc points so which would be a good one of those to pick?
would like it to be fairly central or at least next to metro..

thanks

with lots of pc points IC would be the best value
not sure if other PC properties got repriced during recent devaluation but if so you still have until mar 18 to call and claim them at the old rates - you may want to check on that just in case;
for example HI sokolniki is a decent midrange property next to metro and well reviewed by folks here on ft

thanks i may go for sokolniki
is it easy to get to from airport (domedo)

i booked solkoniki
any tips on how to get there from dme airport??

Inexpensive, take the Aeroexpress (http://www.aeroexpress.ru/en/) to Paveletskiy train station, get on the green line, transfer to the red line at Teatralnaya, get off the red line at Sokolniki - exit metro, look for the tallest building around.

Expensive - take a cab - http://eng.komandir.ru/

My wife and I liked the Holiday Inn Simonovsky. Newish hotel in a nice neighborhood and 5 minute walk to the metro.

thanks for the tips-is there any english signage in the metro?
does the simonovsky have free internet?

Free wired internet in the room. The hotel will loan you a cord. Free wifi in the (very smoky) lobby.

No, you won't find a single english language sign in the metro, except for the line map, on the train (and that is a recent development). Part of the joy of the visit.
