Food is free and a nice spread that changed from breakfast to lunch. There are self-serve free coffee machines and a pay one behind the bar. Plenty of Russian language press but nothing in English. Oh, and wifi requires a phone number to register
They normally have the Moscow Times.
The new furniture is really nice, but the total capacity has reduced as a result...I had the same issue 12 hours earlier than you...lounge was packed and then it emptied out and became very very pleasant.
The wifi issue is a new government requirement to identify wifi users, but it's free and any international number works.
