Lazy doesn't start to describe it. It's all right here


The best or the cheapest?

The simplest way would be to get a taxi at the counter in the arrivals hall at R1300 (or is it now R1500?) to where you want to go. (FYI, R1300 is slightly more than $50, at R25 to the USD).

The airport is just off the road to StPetersburg which in downtown Moscow is called Tverskaya. That's where you're going. But this is Moscow so the roads - and this one in particular, all the way from the airport to the Kremlin - are in a perpetual gridlock. It could very well take you 3 hours to get to the hotel vs 40-50 minutes in the dead of the night when the roads are finally empty.

So it would be way quicker to get the bus and train combo (as described in this thread). At Saviolovskaya take the metro for one stop southbound - even though the departure boards are in Russian, you can easily tell them apart as southbound ones will show lots of transfers and the northbound ones have none. OK, so you're one stop down the grey metro line, at Novoslobodskaya. Walk up the stair off the middle of the platform to transfer to the circle line and look at the boards again. You need the side of the platfrom that shows transfer to the green line one stop away from where you are. Take that train, get off on the very first stop and presto! you're at Bielorousskaya! Total cost - under R100 ($4).

Let me know if you're feeling adventurous enough to try that and I'll explain how to find your way from the metro to the hotel.
