DeutschLoskutnaya
The Loskutnaya Hotel (Лоскутная) was a hotel on Tverskaya Street in Moscow. The hotel, built in the 19th century,[1] was located by the Manege Square,[2] near the Historical Museum and Iverskaia Gate.[3] Geir Kjetsaa, author of Fyodor Dostoyevsky: A Writer's Life, said that the hotel was "one of the best hotels in town."[2] Leonid Andreev and Pyotr Boborykin often stayed at the hotel.[3] A group of people with Anton Chekhov also stayed at Loskutnaya.[4] It was later renamed to the Red Fleet Hostel, and students and younger members of the Communist Party of Russia stayed at the hotel.[5] During Communist rule, some rooms were reserved for Naval College members and sailor delegates.[6]
