When you're thinking of essentials for your little one, you probably already have a cosy cot picked out, but what about a travel cot if you love travelling? In addition to packing your baby's travel system and gathering all the necessities before heading off on holiday with your family, a travel cot will help your little one to sleep as soundly as possible, even when you're away from home.

You probably did a lot of research on the best cot and bedside crib for your baby but may not have considered investing in a travel cot yet. Put simply, a travel cot is a portable, lightweight option designed to fold away compactly. Its collapsible sides and storage bag are some of the features that make it the perfect solution for trips away. Like a travel stroller , it's another one of those holiday essentials that you'll want to invest in when travelling with children under 5 years old.

You most likely won't need a travel cot for the first few months, especially if you already have a Moses basket , a portable crib or a carrycot suitable for overnight sleeping. If you don't go away very often, then you might be better off borrowing a cot from a friend, as it can be an expensive purchase if you're only going to be using it once a year.

A lot of hotels and holiday cottages may provide travel cots and other baby equipment, so check with them before you travel. If you are away from home often, then a travel cot is a good purchase, as it will last well past the newborn months and will prove extremely useful at other times, too. For example, for your baby's daytime naps when you're visiting friends or staying over with grandparents overnight. We've enlisted the help of expert mum testers to put the best travel cots through their paces, taking into account the weight, size, price, assembly, age suitability and stability. Our annual  Mother&Baby Awards  also help us bring you the best advice about current products on the market.

The best travel cot 2024

1. venture uk airpod baby and toddler travel cot, best travel cot overall, description.

Silver winner for Best Travel Product Over £30 in the M&B Awards 2023 Designed to provide little ones with a place to rest and play no matter where you are, the Airpod is assembled in just three easy steps with no tools required meaning it's ready to go in less than a minute. The Airpod weighs just 6kg and can be folded into a bag no larger than a big shopping bag.

One M&B awards tester said: "I really liked how small it folded and how light it was. Super portable and barely took space in the car boot. This meant we were able to pack all our other luggage without worrying about space. Also not too heavy so easy to lug around upstairs when we stayed in hotels without lifts."

• Lightweight
• Comfortable for baby
• No raised bassinet

2. Graco FoldLite

Best travel cot for compact fold.

Bronze winner for Best Travel Product Over £30 in the M&B Awards 2023

Suitable from birth to approximately three years old, the FoldLite was hailed by parents for its lightweight frame, but it has also won a prestigious Mother&Baby Awards 2023 Bronze award. Collapsing to only 26cm wide, the FoldLite has a mesh lining and two wheels for easy manoeuvrability, plus it comes with a mattress included. Testers loved the Home Fold feature to help fold away quickly and clear space within seconds.

M&B mum tester Sarah said:  "The Foldlite travel cot has been most useful to us for quick and easy use around the house with a mobile baby. It genuinely is two clicks to put up or down and the house fold setting means I can quickly pop it out from next to the sofa if I need to iron or nip to the toilet and pop it back in a few seconds so it's not taking over the room. It would be invaluable for this in a holiday cottage which is less baby-proofed too! It seems both comfy and robust for my very mobile ten-month-old and he'll play happily in it with some toys thrown in for a while. When folded down for travel it's small and neat and doesn't take up too much valuable boot space when you're already contending with buggies and suitcases. The grandparents popped it up without instructions and my ten-month-old slept happily in it."

• Folds two ways
• Convenient carry bag
• Assembly not totally straightforward

3. Bugaboo Stardust Travel Cot

Best compact travel cot.

www.bugaboo.com

If you're looking for a travel cot that's a doddle to set up and folds away in seconds, this is it – no more grappling with unwieldy parts when you arrive at your destination with a tired baby. We love the clever design, which gives a seamless experience on the go.

Convenient for carrying around your home, it comes with a zip-in carrycot insert, an all-around mesh panel for airflow and a lovely firm and comfortable mattress. The suspended base will protect your little ones from draughts. But, if this happens to be a bit pricey for you, then you can opt for the Cuggl Deluxe Superlight Travel Cot instead.

Mum Meg said: "Very sturdy, easy to pack and unpack, folds up reasonably small, carrying handle makes it easy to transport. Seems comfortable - the newborn bassinet is super convenient for little ones and my babe settled immediately in it."

Parent Matt said: "We bought this for the ease of it 'popping up and down' but also because we could raise the height of the mattress when our baby was very little. There don't seem to be many travel cots that have that design, we used it as much at home for naps as we did on the road. It's a great bit of kit."

• Includes carrycot insert and mattress
• Easy to assemble
• Compact to fold
• Mattress doesn't include a waterproof cover

4. Cuggl Deluxe Superlight Travel Cot

Best budget travel cot.

www.argos.co.uk

Shortlisted for Best Travel Product Over £25 in the M&B Awards 2019

This deluxe travel cot has a bassinet attachment that clicks easily onto the top, perfect for changing nappies; it has wheels, so it's easy to move around, and setting up and folding away takes just seconds.

Tested by mum Tori: "I would definitely recommend this product to other mums. It's so easy to put up and down and transport with its handy bag. It folds up thin and small fitting in our boot along with the double pram and a few bags! My little one slept perfectly."

Tested by mum Sarah: "If you're looking for an inexpensive no-nonsense travel cot then I would recommend this. It was lightweight so I could easily carry it around. It was also compact making it small enough to pack into the car alongside everything else you need when going away with a little one! Once I'd done the initial set up of the cot, it was easy to put together and to take apart too."

• Easy to transport with wheels
• Easy fold down into storage bag
• Low to the ground

5. Baby Bjorn Travel Cot Light

Best lightweight travel cot.

Rrp: £ 219.90

Shortlisted for Best Travel Product over £25 at the M&B Awards 2015

This travel cot is a real doddle to assemble – just slip it out of its travel bag, and it practically unfolds automatically, so there's no grappling with poles or fiddling with extra accessories. It's also easy to fold away and really light and portable.

It's also easy to move around your home, making it convenient to take with you on trips or overnight visits away. We love that the fabric can be removed and popped in the washing machine – a real bonus if you have a baby with reflux. The materials of this travel cot meet the requirements of OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Class 1 for baby products, which essentially means kind to your baby's sensitive skin.

Tested by mum Nicola: "This is the easiest travel cot to carry as it's amazingly light, but it's less robust than others – Amelia can push it around by herself. It's really practical, taking seconds to pop up. It's less attractive than others in terms of design appeal, but Amelia slept well in it and seemed very comfortable. It also comes with a nice carry bag, which makes it easy to transport."

• Easy assemble
• Machine washable fabric
• Made with sensitive skin in mind
• Harder to dry

6. Joie Excursion Change and Bounce

Best newborn travel cot.

www.very.co.uk

This versatile travel cot comes with lots of extra accessories, so it's great value for money. There's a full-size bassinet, which snaps easily on and off as required, as well as a change unit and portable bouncing seat. It folds compactly and comes with its own travel storage bag.

There are lots of sound and light features, including a soothing sound vibration, plus five classical lullabies and nature sounds. The two integrated wheels make it easy to move from room to room, and there's also a nightlight with three brightness settings.

Tested by mum Kathryn: "This was quite difficult to assemble – I had to enlist my husband's help. It's sturdy and almost as big as a normal cot. The wheels make it easy to move. Olly is too old for the extra accessories, but they'd be fantastic for a newborn. Olly likes the sounds, and the light is great for night changes without fully waking him. A real investment that will grow with your baby.

Tested by mum Nicola: "The mesh sides enabled me to check on Amelia without getting out of bed, and she liked being able to see us when she woke up. The mattress seems very comfortable, and the colours and pattern of this travel cot are really appealing. The extra accessories aren't suitable past 12 months, and this travel cot is quite heavy – I would struggle to move it from room to room without help."

• Extra accessories
• Great value for money
• Sound, vibration and nightlight settings

7. Nuna Sena Aire Travel Cot

Best travel cot mattress.

www.johnlewis.com

Shortlisted for Best Travel Product over £25 at the M&B Awards 2018

This stylish, contemporary travel cot takes seconds to put together and is reasonably quick and easy to fold, even with a baby in your arms. We love the bassinet accessory, which makes this brilliant for use from birth. It has a sturdy aluminium frame and a triple-layered mattress.

Doubling up as a play space, this travel cot has padded edges to prevent pinched fingers, and it also comes with an organic cotton sheet included and its own bag to store and transport it in.

Tested by mum Kirsty: "This is reasonably straightforward to set up but it doesn't fold very neatly, and packing it away is fiddly. It's sturdy but feels heavy and it takes up lots of space in our small car boot. The bassinet makes it easy to lift Rikku in and out, but I found it fiddly to detach. I like that this comes with a machine-washable sheet, which stays in place with velcro."

Tested by mum Nicola: "I really like this travel cot because it's so sturdy. It also looks very stylish. Amelia slept really well in this. It's simple to assemble and comes with a lovely, thick mattress plus a machine-washable sheet. The only disadvantage is that it's quite heavy. I think I would struggle to get this from one place to another by myself."

• Padded edges
• Triple-layered mattress
• Comes with its own storage bag
• Not as lightweight as other options

8. Graco Contour Electra

Best value travel cot.

www.boots.com

The Graco Contour is a good-value travel cot with lots of extra features. It comes with a toy bar and a handy removable changing table. It has a nightlight and musical feature, as well as the option to set the mattress to vibrate to help soothe your baby. There are four mesh sides so you can keep an eye on your little one, and also great for ventilation. It's heavy, but the wheels make it easy to manoeuvre, and it comes with its own carry bag.

Tested by mum Nicola: "This is quick and easy to assemble. It seems compact and fits really well in a smaller room without taking up lots of space. The mattress is very thin, and Amelia didn't sleep very well. The cream colour looks lovely, but I imagine it could get dirty very quickly. The changing unit is a great idea, but it's only suitable for use up to 12 months."

Tested by mum Kathryn: "One of the heaviest travel cots we tested, but it's a good size for an older baby – almost the same size as our normal cot. It's easy to assemble and put away and I like the neutral colour. The wheels make it very easy to move around, but you have to bend low to reach your baby. This would have been great for daytime naps when Olly was younger. Great value, too."

Read our full review of the Graco Contour Electra Travel Cot

• Compact fold
• Has wheels for easy transporting
• Removable changing table
• Some reviewers struggled to assemble it

9. Baby Elegance Kangu Foldable Bedside Sleeper

Best bassinet-style travel cot.

www.ebay.co.uk

We love the innovative way this travel cot converts between two different modes, with a bassinet level for younger babies to cot, and the fact that you can use it in either fixed or rocking mode. This travel cot is worth considering if you're really short on luggage space, as it's particularly compact once folded and one of the lightest travel cots we found. This is another top pick for newborns, so be aware you won't be able to use it much beyond six months old.

Mum, Eileen, reviewed: "This was the best purchase we made for our baby. We can't fit a cot in our bedroom and needed something that would last longer than the moses basket. Our little boy sleeps so well in it and it's so easy to pick it up and carry downstairs. We have travelled with it too and it folds down neatly."

• Folds into storage bag
• Legs can adjust to fix in position or allow for gentle rocking motion
• Extremely lightweight
• Only able to use until 6 months

10. Bizzi Growin POD Travel Crib

Best carrycot travel cot.

This is a really clever invention; it looks like a really spacious changing bag, but then off you pop for your overnight stay, take everything out of the bag, and it changes into a travel crib. It doesn't take long to assemble and comes with a padded mattress. It isn't as long-lasting as the other travel cots on our list, as it's really only suitable until baby is four to six months old or when they start rolling; it's the smallest travel cot but the most compact and easy to carry.

Tested by mum Jennifer: "The design is stylish and the item is extremely easy to use. The travel cot section folds out in a few seconds and the rods are easily inserted to make it very sturdy. This means a new mum (who has little time on her hands) can easily erect this in minutes. It is easily transported and takes up no more than a bag's room in the car or walking, so it can be taken anywhere. I have only used this at friends/ families homes but definitely would take it on weekends away or on holiday. It means I don't have to buy a big travel cot. It is also lightweight so don't have to worry about carrying something heavy."

Tested by mum Esther: "Designed as a travel sleeping pod, for nighttime and daytime naps, and a changing bag. It's intended to be quick to assemble and easy to use. I assembled it in a couple of minutes, it weighs as much as a bag or two of sugar and the bag would easily fit in amongst other items in a packed car. When assembled, the sleeping pod is a reasonable size, probably usable up to 4-6 months (unless your baby is rolling lots). We used the pod whilst away for the weekend and found it very useful, as we already had a travel cot packed for our older child and couldn't have fitted a second in the car."

• Includes mosquito net
• Can be used as a changing bag
• Extremely compact and lightweight to carry
• Long dispatch time currently

11. BabyDan Travel Cot

Best long-lasting travel cot.

This travel cot represents good value for money, especially because it can be used from birth up to approximately three years of age. It's also very sturdy, which means it doubles up as a playpen for smaller babies. And although fairly large, it features wheels and a brake to make it easier to transport. The cot also comes with a small toy bag attached, which could be useful for storing nappies or other baby essentials when you're on the move and away from home.

Reviewer Sophie said: "This is an excellent travel cot. The cot is incredibly easy for one person to put up and can be fully set up and usable within minutes. Folding the cot away is just as simple; and it folds down into such a compact size which is then stored in a carry case that it is easy to stow away. I would recommend this cot for a number of reasons: It is lightweight, compact, it is a full size cot, can be used as a playpen, it is simple to errect and dismantle, it is very strong and sturdy, my baby loves to be in it, it has a useful storage pouch at one end. I intially set the cot up in the sitting room as a play pen/nap time cot. It is a full size cot so does take up some room but it means that the cot will last for several years before the baby outgrows it."

• Includes a small bag
• Sturdy and secure with brake
• Heavier than others

12. Red Kite Black Sleep Tight Travel Cot

Best simple travel cot.

direct.asda.com

The Sleeptight Travel Cot is an award-winning sleep solution from Red Kite. Stored in a carry bag, the Sleeptight Travel Cot is lightweight and compact folding. It is the perfect choice for holidays, visiting friends and family or for your own home.

Mum Kat said: "Having now used this multiple times, I'm really impressed with it - it's good quality and not too bulky when folded so fits easily into my small car boot along with all the other baby paraphernalia needed for a night away! It's really easy to put up and take down and it's so helpful that the instructions are printed onto the underside of the mattress - what a great idea (these sleep-deprived parents are very grateful for this design feature!) You must put it up/take it down in the right order or you will struggle to get it folded correctly. My baby has always slept well in it on various nights and weeks away. We use a waterproof sheet and cot sheet on top of the mattress, job done! For the price paid, it's exceptionally good value. 10/10!"

• Central locking base for extra safety
• Easy to fold and store in the storage bag
• See-through mesh sides
• Mattress is very thin

13. Kinderkraft Cot 4 in 1 SOFI

Best 4 in 1 travel cot.

Rrp: £ 139.99

 A practical trade cot which also doubles as a playpen, cradle and everyday cot, the SOFI is a great purchase. It is suitable for babies and toddlers from birth to 15kg and it's lightweight and wash to fold, plus it includes a storage bag which makes it easy to carry when travelling. The SOFI has mesh sides to ensure you can see your little one and for good airflow. It also comes with a mattress and cover and the frame can be used as a rocking frame too.

One reviewer said: "Slightly narrower than some travel cots, but that was what we needed as it is going to be the cot for when our new grandson stays with us and it needed to fit in the spare room. I love that it is on 2 levels so suitable for a new born as well as a toddler, though not sure if grandson will fit past the age of 2. It is so easy to fold and put up and comes in a cover so can be stored under another bed. Also great that while you use the top level, things can be stored underneath. It looks very stylish too. Only slight problem is the fitting of sheets. It is fiddly and you need to lift the mattress to be able to fit the sheet and tuck it in. But it is doable, so very happy with purchase."

• Can be used with or without rocking function
• Mattress can be used at two different levels
• Looks stylish
• Slightly narrower than standard travel cots

Travel cots – All you need to know:

Choosing the right travel cot for you and your child.

Think about where and when you'll use a travel cot. If you are throwing it in the car boot when you're going to Granny's, check how bulky it is when folded and make sure it fits along with your pushchair and still leaves enough room for your luggage. If you're buying for your holiday and you'll be travelling to your destination by plane, boat or other public transport, choose one that folds very compactly to make it easier to pack. Consider, too, where you'll keep it at home when it's not in use.

Unpacking your travel cot after a long journey with a tired baby can be stressful, so choose something quick and easy to set up. Some travel cots can be assembled and folded with one hand, which is a lifesaver if you're holding your baby.

Some travel cots are designed to double as playpens , creating somewhere safe for your baby to play when she's awake. This is useful when you're away from home, especially if you're staying somewhere that's less baby-friendly, without any baby-proofing products , than your normal environment. This type of travel cot has added value as you can get more use out of it than a standard travel cot but check the manufacturer's guidelines before you buy to ensure it's safe to use as a playpen.

Features to consider before purchasing a travel cot

Here are some travel cot features to look out for when deciding on which travel cot is best for you and your baby.

Travel cots come with a mattress supplied, but some are comfier than others. Check how thick it is and whether it provides enough support for a good night's sleep. If not, thicker travel cot mattresses can be purchased separately – but that's an extra expense and something else to pack!

Fold mechanism

As well as checking how simple it is to assemble the travel cot, make sure you can fold it away again easily. Could you do it in a hurry if you're dashing to the airport? If you have older children, make sure inquisitive little fingers can't access the mechanism for folding the travel cot when it's in use.

Most travel cots have mesh sides to encourage airflow and enable you to see your baby easily when they're sleeping. Check the quality of the fabric and how easy it is to wipe clean.

If you want to move the cot elsewhere in the house for daytime naps or playpen use, choose one with wheels for easy manoeuvrability.

Standard cot bedding may not fit your travel cot, so check what size bedding is required and factor in any extra expense. Make sure the bedding fits the mattress securely with no loose fabric.

Choose a travel cot with side panels that zip open and closed if you'd like to be able to reach your baby without bending low over the side of the cot. If it doubles as a playpen, a 'window' to crawl through can add to the fun.

If you plan to travel with your baby to a climate where mosquitoes might bother them, choose a travel cot with an insect net, and check it fits the travel cot securely.

What age are travel cots advised for?

Travel cots come in a variety of sizes and styles, and they all have different upper age and/or weight limits. Consider how old your child will be when using the travel cot, and choose one suitable for their age. Most of the travel cots in our list above can be used from birth until your baby weighs 15kg, which is approximately three years old. Keep in mind that once your baby makes the transition from sleeping in a cot to a bed, they'll probably prefer a bed to a travel cot when away from home overnight.

Can I travel on a plane with a travel cot?

Yes! Although all airlines will have their own rules on luggage allowances, but if you are flying with a baby then typically parents of infants are allowed to take at least two items - e.g. travel cot, buggy or car seat - at no extra cost.

If you're buying a travel cot to take on holiday and are travelling by plane, boat or train, choose one that folds as compactly as possible to make it easier to transport. If you're driving, make sure it fits in your car boot and still leaves enough room for the rest of your luggage.

Think about where you'll keep the travel cot when it's not in use, too. If space is not an issue, you could look into the larger options available.

All travel cots are designed to be light enough to carry, but some are heavier than others, and there's generally a pay-off between how light it is and how durable it is.

If you'll be carrying it a lot on your journey, such as through an airport, then weight may take priority, but if you've got a cruising toddler, and throwing the cot in a big boot is about the extent of your lugging it around, then a sturdier, perhaps heavier, cot would be better.

How to assemble a travel cot

Wrestling with an unwieldy travel cot and a tired baby after a long journey is stress you really don't need in your life, so choose one that doesn't require an engineering degree to set up. While how to put up a travel cot differs depending on the brand, some can be assembled and folded away within seconds, even with one hand– and that's a really helpful feature if you're going to be assembling it with your baby or other children in tow.

Where can I buy a travel cot?

Whether you need one pronto or want to spend your time researching the perfect travel cot, there are plenty of places where you can pick one. We'd recommend these trusted retailers that offer great products and plenty of reviews so you can make sure you're buying the right one for your little one:

John Le wis

Mamas & Papas

Supermarkets also hold baby events where you can often pick up travel cots and other accessories for a great price. These include:

Can I buy a travel cot second-hand?

If you're looking to buy a second-hand travel cot, there are a few things to check before you make your purchase:

• Check that it assembles and folds down correctly

• Make sure it's sturdy

• Make sure the seller provides you with the original instruction booklet

It's also worth purchasing a new mattress for the travel cot

How to clean your travel cot

If your travel cot has been tucked away in the loft for a few years and it smells a bit musty, or your child has turned it into a bit of a mess, a good tip for cleaning is to use warm soapy water and a sponge.

Make sure to leave it out in the fresh air and sunlight to dry.

Travel cot safety

There are a number of safety aspects to check on your travel cot for your peace of mind.

Stability: Be sure to use the mattress that comes with the cot, as changing it could affect the stability of the cot and could make it easier to tip.

Escaping: Swapping for a thicker mattress could give your tot more height and make it easier for them to escape.

Corners: Be wary of how smooth corners are - make sure there is no chance of your baby's clothes getting caught on them to avoid any chance of strangulation.

Flexible sides: Pop-up-style tents may be easy to erect and dismantle; however, the flexible sides mean that if you were to stumble onto the cot, there would be no ridged sides to stop your fall.

Zips: Make sure you check all zips are secure, as any loose zips that become unattached could potentially become choking hazards.

Wheels: The wheels must be able to securely lock into place or have two wheels and two legs for sturdiness.

Test it out: Make sure you try it out before you travel to check all of the above safety aspects.

Safe sleeping in a travel cot

The general consensus is that you need to be following the same sleeping guidance for your baby in a travel cot as you would at home.

Here's what The Lullaby Trust have to say:

"The same 'safer sleep' rules apply to a travel cot, which should have a rigid frame and base, and a firm, flat mattress, covered in a waterproof material. Travel cot mattresses are often thinner and feel harder than those in a permanent cot, but don't be tempted to place folded blankets or a quilt under the baby to make them 'more comfortable'. If you are very tight for space, you may have to consider re-arranging the furniture in the room to ensure that the travel cot isn't against a radiator, in direct sunlight, and is out of reach of blind cords and hazards."

How we tested and chose these travel cots

Every year, our panel of real mums tests and reviews parenting products such as travel cots for the annual Mother&Baby Awards.

2022 best travel cot and baby bed for travel: the ultimate guide!

Last Updated on 27/05/2022 by Clotilde Passalacqua

Do you need a baby bed for travel? When you have children, you soon realise that you start asking questions you never thought you would.

In this case, it soon turns out that the right answer is yes. If you like to travel, you must equip yourself with a baby travel bed.

A portable bed for baby or a travel cot will be essential both for parents who only occasionally visit relatives or friends for the weekend, and for parents who embark around the world with their brand new twins!

Of course if you travel only occasionally, you should carefully review the cost aspect, while if you travel often by plane you will probably be looking for a light, compact, and easy to transport travel cot. Deciding what to pack when travelling with a baby cd be overwhelming, you can read here more advice on baby travel essentials and also how to save hundreds in luggage fees when flying Ryanair or other European low cost airlines.

WHICH IS THE BEST BABY TRAVEL BED?

On the market there are many alternatives: travel bed for infant, portable crib for toddlers, and also baby pop up bed and everybody has different needs, so it is not an easy question to answer. It may be overwhelming trying to choose the right model, therefore I distilled the choice down to the 8 models I think are the best to choose from! In this guide we will analyse the best travel cots for different travel styles, to make sure you buy the model that suits your way of travel the best!

Then I will go into the details of each portable travel bed for baby to understand each model and analyse which features make them the best option for families that love to travel.

Here is the criteria for the evaluation:

• Portability : With a compact travel cot it is important that it is easy to carry on the shoulder, perhaps with a shoulder strap, while pushing a stroller or holding a baby.
• Weight / dimensions: If you travel a lot by plane, it is important to consider a compact lightweight travel cot, in order to not make travel even more challenging
• Ease of assembly: If you often make road trips, or you like to change hotels every two / three days, it is important to choose a model that is easy and quick to assemble.
• Longevity: this is an important aspect to consider based on how long you want to use the baby portable bed you choose. A bit like pushchairs, not all of them are suitable for use from birth, but others are not usable beyond 12/18 months
• Fabric : it is important to check how easy it is to clean. While travelling you don’t want to waste time and an accident could always happen.
• Mattress: some mattresses are thicker than others, I wouldn’t discard a model only if the mattress is a bit thinner because little kids need quite a firm mattress, but it is good to be aware of it, perhaps if one night you use the travel crib over a hard floor you can put a towel under the cot to compensate.

Let’s start with an overview!

BABY TRAVEL BED COMPARISON CHART

A lightweight travel cot is a great present for a family of travellers, check this gifts for travelers guide if you need more ideas.

WHY DO YOU NEED A PORTABLE TRAVEL BED FOR BABIES?

There are various reasons why I think it is essential to organise yourself with your own baby travel sleep options:

If you visit relatives or friends, you may be tempted to find a temporary solution or to try co-sleeping, but unless you are already used to this solution it can only prove to be a producer of a sleepless night.

If you stay in a hotel you must be absolutely sure that the baby bed supplied complies with the most current safety standards.

Young children, much more than adults, are likely to become infected with germs and bacteria, especially in the period when they are bringing everything to their mouth because that’s their way to discover the world. In a hotel it is almost impossible to be sure that the baby cot supplied has been carefully sterilised.

If, like me, before Liam and Santiago, you have not been interested in the subject before, you will be amazed at what a hotel can ask for, per night, just to add a simple baby crib or an extra bed (usually in the case of children over two years).

At the hotels during our tragicomic first beach holiday , for example, we were asked for Euro30 per night per child, so for two weeks it would have cost us over Euro800!!!!

8 BEST BABY BED FOR TRAVEL: DETAILED REVIEW

Best overall travel cot.

MICRALITE SLEEP AND GO TRAVEL COT

The Micralite sleep&go travel cot is probably the best portable travel crib on the market in 2020. It seems that the designer took all the best elements of other top travel cots, like the Baby Bjorn or Phil & Teds, made it even more functional and added some other cool features. Like the BabyBjorn, it is a super easy to assemble and to transport travel cot, watch here the official video to appreciate these features . This cot folds small into a padded travel bag, with a comfy handle and a practical shoulder strap. It also features the newest generation of infant bassinet (depending on the shop it may be included or sold separately), that can super easily zip to the top and be used until the baby is around 6 months. Really practical if you want to use the travel cot as a newborn travel bed and you want to save yourself from back-pain.

• great design
• super easy to assemble
• really practical bag to store and transport
• practical bassinet
• side panel zip down
• plastic bottom makes it possible to use outdoor
• it could be lighter
• needs to be checked-in on a flight

Second best if money isn’t an issue

BABY BJORN TRAVEL COT LIGHT

This portable travel cot isn’t cheap, but it is so practical that you will maybe not regret the money spent. Especially if you like road trips and you change location often then this is just amazing. It requires no time to assemble it or put it away. It folds neatly into a sort of small suitcase with a big handle to carry it easily. The fabric and the base are built in, so there are no loose parts to assemble, but the mesh is also really easy to remove to wash. Watch the assembly video to be amazed about how clever it is.

• great size from newborn to 3 years +
• easy to carry with included bag
• side panel doesn’t zip down
• no newborn bassinet available

Best lightweight / Best twins travel cot

PHIL & TEDS TRAVELLER

“The only travel cot lighter than your baby” is the slogan that Phil & Teds have been using for years. It is this feature that still keeps The Phil & Teds traveller as one of the top choices on my list. The other element that sets apart this portable crib for travel from the contenders is the way you assembly it. Unfortunately the structure doesn’t come already fixed to the mesh, but needs to be put together. It doesn’t really require more than 2-3 minutes, but you maybe want to consider this aspect, especially if the weight is not a key element for you. Here is the link to the Phil & Teds traveller assembly video  if you want to understand better the assembly technique. As parents of twins we can say that this is the best portable crib if you have twins. You can carry 2 and you will still end with a lighter load than one of most of the other models. We used 2 of these portable travel cribs until our boys were over 3 years old.

• the lightest traditional travel cot, only 2.8kg
• easy to carry on a shoulder
• side panel zip down completely
• mesh bassinet for newborn available
• sunshade top cover available
• thermally insulated mattress
• allowed as hand luggage from some airlines
• assembly is more complicated than other models like Baby Bjorn or Micralite
• newborn bassinet sold separately
• inflatable mattress on the thin side
• sunshade top cover sold separately

Best compact travel c rib

GUAVA LOTUS TRAVEL CRIB

The Lotus travel crib is probably the most compact of all the traditional travel cots. The designers developed this clever 3D mechanism, that makes the crib fold in a Z way and simply fit in the backpack. Watch here the official video on how to assemble it. All parts are connected, so no risk to loose anything. Only the mattress needs to be fixed to the feet. One of the few downsides is it is not easily available everywhere.

• easy to assemble
• super easy to carry as a back pack
• most airlines will consider it hand luggage
• newborn bassinet available
• newborn bassinet is sold separately
• fixing the mattress could be a bit laborious
• mattress sheet is sold separately
• not easy to buy in Europe

Best baby crib for under $50 £40

HAUCK DISNEY DREAM ‘N PLAY TRAVEL COT

The Hauck Dream ‘n Play travel cot is the most traditional travel cot in this list. For a price tag under $50 (£40) I could not leave it out because there are still situations when it could be worth considering. First of all it is quite big, but if on one hand this means it is the biggest and heaviest in the list, on the other hand it is a really good travel cot for toddler. If you travel mainly by car (with generous boot), mainly visiting friends and family for a weekend or you stay in one place, then save same money and get one of these cots. It doesn’t have the cool features of some others like a newborn bassinet, and doesn’t fold into a back pack, but it still comes with a useful carrying bag. We now have been using two older models of the Hauck for more than 4 years when visiting my dad in Italy. We leave them there but they are still compact enough to be stored away. We think they’re also perfect for a weekend away with the car.

• easy enough to assemble, but only if you follow the instructions!
• great size from newborn to 4 years +
• big enough to be used as a small playpen
• heavy, kg. 9,4
• not mesh panel all around

Best travel bassinet

BIZZI GROWIN POD TRAVEL CRIB

The Bizzi Growin Pod travel Crib doesn’t have a long life in use as a travel cot, but it is really clever and deserves a space on this list. Parents that prefer to travel with their newborn in a carrier instead of in a pram, will find this changing bag that transforms into a travel crib for newborns particularly useful. Perfect for all parents that like to be out and about all day while travelling, but want to secure a safe space for the little one to nap. One side of the changing bag folds down and you just need to insert 2 lightweight poles to keep the mesh sides in place. Includes a padded mattress for overnight sleep. The changing bag also includes several compartments to keep everything organised including an insulated bottle pocket.

• really light
• double function
• washable mattress
• short use as a crib

Best portable crib for outdoor travel

LITTLELIFE ARC 2 LIGTHWEIGT TRAVEL COT

The Littlelife Arc 2 Lightweight Travel Cot, like the Kidco Peapod, developed the traditional travel concept a little further. The designers took inspiration more from the camping life than the usual nursery environment, but the results I think are excellent. This baby travel tent packs easily in a light, small backpack (including the mattress and mattress sheet), and it takes only few minutes to assemble. The assembling is not difficult but it is important to follow the instructions the first time, it is like building a mini camping tent. This is an amazing on the go baby bed, for all families who love to pack really minimally and love life outdoors, as it doubles up as a shaded place for the little one to play during the day outside.

• really light only 2.5kg
• great size from newborn
• includes bed sheet
• mesh panel on the side and on the top
• safety toggle to block the zip
• sunshade available
• sunshade sold separately

Best pop up travel cot

KIDCO PEAPOD PLUS TRAVEL BED

The Kidco Peapod Plus travel bed is another tent-style travel cot. It is even lighter than the Littlelife Arc 2, as it is only 1.66kg. The best part is it comes out of his bag already assembled! Yes it is a sort of pop up toddler bed! The other key difference with the Littlelife is that can be used only from 12 months on-wards, but it should last up to 5 years. This travel toddler bed is probably the lightest and longest lasting model on the market, the only issue is that its not available Worldwide. It is really easy to buy in the USA but less in Europe.

• really light only 1.6kg
• great size from 1 to 5 years
• mesh panel on the side
• 2 big openings on the side, 1 to enter and 1 as a meshed screen
• 2 smaller meshed screens
• mattress attached at the bottom, for safety
• easy to remove and wash mattress
• tricky to put back in its bag
• mattress is quite thin
• not worldwide available

TWINS TRAVEL COT

Where are the travel baby beds for twins? As we have twins you might expect me to be ready with a list of cots for twins, but the reality is there are not many on the market. The available options are limited to use in the first few months of life and are not ideal for travelling. The best baby crib for twins to keep at home are the Halo Bassinest and the Simmons bassinet for twins . Two ingenious products, which I hope will be adapted to easily disassemble to make it travel friendly. They were developed on the concept of other cradles that attach to the adults bed, but they are larger and the Halo rotates allowing the parent to reach the baby who needs cuddling without leaving the bed. A mesh panel divides the cot for twins in two so that the babies cannot bother each other, but they can see each other.

Another very popular baby cot for twins is the Joovi room 2 , practically a large playard that, by purchasing the nursery center kit separately, can be divided to accommodate two babies. The playard itself does not take up much more space than a traditional travel cot, but the nursery center is another element to consider to carry around.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST KIDS PORTABLE BED

If, despite my selection you are still confused, it is normal. Many factors influence your choice and then there are always personal preferences that only you can judge, and that will make you lean towards one model or another. I personally have used 3 different types of travel cot: two of them are on the list, the Phil and Ted traveler and the Hauck (even if I own an old model). The Phil and Ted travel cot has been for us the best baby bed for travel. Having twins, for me the most important thing that determined the choice was the lightness and ease of transport (because obviously we have two). My husband can put one on each shoulder and without problems push the stroller and pull a trolley (while I follow empty-handed of course). On the other hand, it is perhaps the most time consuming model to assemble, but lightness and portability were more important to me. The two Phil & Teds have come with us on almost all the trips made with Liam and Santiago up to about three years: Japan, Egypt, Spain ,Turkey. During only the first 6 months we used our beloved Joolz Geo pram carrycot. Now they are just over 4 and we usually find accommodation that offers at least a sofa bed as option for them. The Hauck dream ‘n play we still use when we are visiting their grandfather. We don’t take them on the plane because they would be too bulky, but they are perfect for taking around for a short weekend in the car when we are in Italy. So to conclude, what should you ask yourself before choosing your best travel crib for travel? You should reflect on your style of travel first.

Different travel style, different sleeping solution

Discovering the backyard.

If you love to explore your country, travel by car, and your budget is limited, then the best travel baby bed is definitely the Hauck dream ‘n play . Without frills, it performs the necessary functions without draining your wallet.

Enjoying the outdoors

If you love the outdoor life, travel with the bare minimum, love cycling and camping, then you will surely appreciate the group of non-traditional travel cots. Starting from Bizzi Growin Pod Travel Cot as an infant portable bed and then moving on the super-practical Kidco PeaPod Plus Travel Bed or Littlelife Arc 2 lightweight travel cot .

Planning a round the world trip?

You are covered: Micralite sleep and go travel cot will accompany you everywhere. A model which is certainly not super cheap, but that you can use from birth, very quick to open and close, and practical to carry. If you prefer to focus on the lightness then go with the Phil & Teds and you will forget to have it on your shoulder! …and if you fear to fly with a baby, don’t miss our recommendation for the most carefree experience!

Weekend away?

If you like to jump on a plane even for a weekend away then the best options are the Guava Lotus travel crib or the practical Kidco PeaPod Plus Travel Bed or Littlelife Arc 2 lightweight travel cot . Not all airlines offer the possibility of boarding babygear for free, but with these models you should be safe to carry them as hand luggage (always check!)

Different type of travel cot for different ages

The last considerations to make are concerning the age of the child when you decide to purchase a travel cot.

Travel bed for baby

Many parents may skip this stage as many pushchair bassinets are approved for overnight sleeping. To decide what is the best infant travel bed for you, you will have to consider two options: take one that can be used from birth up to 3/4 years, or buy a small one for the first 6 months and then change it. If you decide for the second option, consider also these: many of the new travel cot models offer a practical bassinet that can be attached with a simple zip to the structure. It is very practical in the first months when you take out the babies from the cot very often. Many travel cots are deeper than you may have in the nursery at home since in many cases the mattress rests on the ground, so it is more difficult to reach your baby and your back could complain, If there is no bassinet, it is a good option to have at least one of the side panels that can be opened, so as to make access easier.

Toddler travel crib

If the first 6 months have gone, the choices expand. In this case one of the most interesting features to look for is the possibility of opening one of the side panels . The toddler age is the most difficult stage, and if you have a child who has difficulty sleeping, it can be useful to have the possibility to open the panel and lie down next to him. During the day the portable toddler crib can also simply become a playpen.

When setting up a sleep space for your baby you may envisage cute little cushions, a snuggly throw and a gaggle of plush toys to watch over your snoozing angel. While that may sound dreamlike, your baby’s bedding actually needs to be kept simple. As babies can’t regulate their temperature like adults, baby sleep charity The Lullaby Trust recommends using a firmly tucked-in sheet and blanket, which is not above shoulder height. A safe alternative is a baby sleep bag .

As the official advice is not to use pillows or duvets with babies under the age of 12 months, we have searched for the best sheets to go in your baby’s cot or crib . Most fitted sheets are available in cot bed size, the most common sleep set-up for babies aged over six months, but many have Moses basket and traditional cot sizes available too, just be sure to check the dimensions before purchasing.

As with most baby sleep essentials, cotton takes centre stage. Breathable, light and soft on baby’s precious skin, it’s the most commonly used material. Look out for organic cotton and bamboo blends for sustainability and breathability. For safety make sure you remove any soft toys, loose bedding, pillows or quilts before your baby sleeps in this space.

How we tested.

Using our Coxley cot bed from Mamas & Papas (£599, Mamasandpapas.com ) and Little Green Sheep Twist mattress (from £186.96, Thelittlegreensheep.co.uk ) we went about our business testing a range of fitted sheets for our cot during naps and overnight sleeping, over the course of a month.

We kept a close eye on the quality of the fabric, the impact of washing and how well it fit our mattress. As the cot is a central part of any nursery, aesthetics weren’t overlooked either. Given the hefty price the cot and the mattress have already incurred parents, we also paid special attention to the value for money.

It’s important to flag that all babies sleep differently and they can’t verbalise their feedback, but creating a safe and comfortable sleeping environment for your little one gives them the best chance for sleep success.

The best fitted cot sheets for 2023 are:

• Best fitted cot sheet overall – Mamas & Papas jungle cotbed fitted sheets, two-pack: £23.20, Mamasandpapas.com

Mamas & Papas jungle cotbed fitted sheets, two-pack

• Best : Fitted cot sheet overall
• Material : 100% cotton
• Size : 70cm x 142cm
• Colour : Jungle
• OEKO-TEX-certified
• Playful prints
• One size only

Mamas & Papas dominates the baby world, and for good reason. If you’re wanting to theme your nursery, the range of themes on offer is vast, with a style to suit every babe. We opted for the jungle essentials range, which is both daring and adorable in equal measure.

Given the two-pack nature of this set, we were surprised that the quality is one of the softest we tested, mimicking a jersey-like feel. Made from OEKO-TEX-certified 100 per cent cotton, the sheets are fully elasticated making it a doddle to change. We also found it washed well, keeping its shape. Many two-packs offer one printed and a more neutral second option, but with this set it’s tough to choose a favourite.

Clair de Lune 2 pack fitted cotton cot bed sheets

• Best : Budget buy
• Material : Cotton jersey
• Size : 140cm x 70cm
• Colours : White, blue, grey, pink
• OEKO-TEX certified

It’s no surprise that this two-pack of fitted sheets from Clair de Lune is a bestseller for the nursery stalwart. We opted for classic white but there are bolder colour choices (grey, pink and blue) if you so wish. Firstly, we must commend the quality of the material using an ultra-soft 100 per cent cotton jersey. The fabric is also OEKO-TEX 100 certified meaning no nasties on baby’s delicate skin.

Offering a secure fit, the elasticated edging provided an easy stretch over the mattress and we found the material had great breathability. While there’s no fancy patterns, if you want to keep baby’s sleep space a simple white, we can’t fault this budget buy. Plus, we found it washed well, too.

Little Green Sheep organic cot & cot bed fitted sheet

• Best : Breathable fitted sheet
• Material : Linen and cotton blend
• Size : 60cm x 120cm – 70cm x 140cm
• Colours : Honey rice, linen rice, dove rice
• Premium sustainable materials
• Limited sizing

The combination of 70 per cent organic cotton and 30 per cent linen makes for superlative softness. Perfect for warmer nights, linen is known for its absorbent and breathable qualities and we found it outweighed others in the washing department.

Much like a stretchy jersey texture, this sheet boasts a fully elasticated fit. The sheet fitted our cot bed mattress like a glove , given it’s from the same brand, but we were somewhat flummoxed by its claims to fit smaller cots too (60cm x 120cm), which it would swamp. The ‘honey rice’ design is rich in a deep caramel tone which would lend itself to many nursery themes. It’s also presented prettily in a box, which would make a practical yet plush gift.

Snuz cot & cot bed two pack fitted sheet

• Best : For fabric quality
• Material : Jersey cotton
• Size : 70cm x 140cm
• Colour : Rainbow
• Washes well

Snuz is a brand synonymous with sleeping babies thanks to its award-winning Snuzpod and cots. While we rate its well-made furniture, how did the more delicate world of bedding fare? The good news, we found it just as impressive. Coming in at mid-entry price point, this two pack of fitted sheets boast great quality.

Made from 100 per cent jersey cotton, we found the sheets both breathable and soft to the touch. Stretching over our cot bed mattress with the elasticated edging, it offers a good fit. However we feel it would be a little baggy on a traditional cot size, despite claiming to fit both. The rainbow design is whimsical, while the white sheet is a classic second option. We found these washed well too, affirming the quality.

Argos habitat cotton safari nursery twin pack fitted sheet- cot bed

• Best : For softness
• Material : 100 per cent cotton
• Colour : Safari

Many households have come to rely on Habitat for stylishly kitting out their homes, without the crippling costs. And that starts right from day dot with its safari nursery twin pack. Firstly, we love the contrast between the two sheets, the lion print is a bold and gallant choice in a rich mustard colourway, while the second set is muted with a subtle tribal pattern.

Offering a good fit and made from 100 per cent cotton, it carries the OEKO-TEX label meaning the textiles have been thoroughly tested against nasty chemicals. While it wasn’t the smoothest to the touch, the 144 thread count is soft on baby’s skin and representative of the cost.

Ickle Bubba cot bed sheets 2 pack

• Best : For sensory designs
• Material : Cotton
• Colours : Mono mountains, bunnychino, rustic safari, cosmic aura, rainbow dreams
• Monochrome designs
• Limited izing

As part of a two pack, this clearance price of Ickle Bubba’s cot bed sheets in ‘mono mountains’ design is set to stay, making it a purse friendly option. And we didn’t notice a big drop in quality, the 100 per cent cotton is soft to the touch and it’s fully elasticated. They didn’t feel as luxurious as some of the premium sheets, but we can’t argue with the price, plus they washed well. It’s worth bearing in mind though if your mattress is any thicker than 10cm it may be a stretch to fit.

These sheets are also brilliant for sensory stimulation , as young babies love to look at high-contrast black-and-white patterns, which they’ll get in abundance from the mountains and funky zig zag print.

Willa & The Bear indigo stripe fitted muslin cot sheet

• Best : For repeated washing
• Material : Cotton muslin
• Colours : Indigo stripe, pink dove, blue dove, indigo feather, pink heart, blue heart, pink bow, blue bow, pink triangle, blue triangle, charcoal mughal flower, pink gingham, blue gingham
• Softer with each wash
• Hand printed

The standout feature of this fitted sheet from Willa & Bear is the muslin composition. Muslin fabric is famous for its durability, withstanding multiple washes which makes sense when it comes to baby bedding. In fact, they get softer with each wash and we can attest this.

Block printed by hand, this is a premium piece of bedding. The brand’s signature double layer of cotton muslin is super breathable and lightweight, plus we love the unique nautical inspired print, although rest assured there are nine more to choose from. Presented in a gift bag, while we can’t ignore the expensive price tag, it would make a wonderful present.

ErgoPouch organic fitted sheet

• Best : For sensitive skin
• Material : Organic cotton, elastane
• Size : 130cm x 70cm , 80cm x 40cm
• Colours : Wheat, sage, grey marle
• GOTS-certified materials
• Comes in two sizes

Australian sleep brand ergoPouch has been providing babies and children safe sleep solutions since 2009. Scooping many awards for its sleep bags , expectations were high for its fitted sheet, particularly given the price tag. But from simply unpackaging the organic fitted sheet, the quality was obvious. Made from 95 per cent GOTS-certified organic cotton, plus five per cent elastane for a bit of stretch, it’s soft to the touch with a jersey feel, while the elasticated edging offered a snug fit.

This fitted sheet is available in two sizes; crib size for those sleeping in a Moses basket or bedside crib and cot size. While the cot size would fit a traditional cot mattress we also found it fit our cot bed mattress snugly thanks to the stretchiness. Available in three colours (wheat, grey marle and sage), the premium fabric is dyed with non-toxic water-based dyes, but we were also pleased to learn that all of ergoPouch’s products are reviewed by the Eczema Association of Australasia as being skin-friendly. While it’s pricey we can’t deny the welcoming natural sleep space it provides.

Dunelm pack of 2 100% cotton eucalyptus jersey fitted sheets

• Best : Stylish print
• Size : 32cm x 72cm, 60cm x 120cm, 70cm x 140cm
• Colour : Eucalyptus
• Available in three sizes
• Sides could be tighter

You may often ask yourself what you did with your home before Dunelm. And it’s not only for adult spaces, as Dunelm has plenty to offer in the nursery department too, with a great example being this two pack of affordable fitted sheets.

We love the nature-inspired eucalyptus print on both of these, meaning when wash day arrives your cot can still look stylish. But it’s not all about style. Made from 100 per cent cotton, this collection is verified by OEKO-TEX and is soft to the touch. The jersey-like quality means it’s a doddle to stretch over the mattress , although we did find the sides sagged a little, but overall a great choice for just £7 per sheet.

Scandiborn avery row cotbed fitted sheet

• Best : Luxury buy
• Material : 100 per cent organic GOTS cotton percale
• Colours : Wild chamomile

This fitted sheet is such an elegant choice, with delicate chamomile details and neutral colourway. British brand Avery Row only works with sustainable materials, and its range of fitted sheets have been lovingly crafted using organic cotton percale. We can’t deny the luxury hotel quality feel, which we feel goes a way to justify the cost.

Designed to be a snug fit, this fitted sheet certainly hugged our mattress, creating a super flat surface for our tester to sleep soundly, but you may struggle if your mattress is any deeper than 10cm.

ErgoPouch baby tuck sheet

• Best : For a secure fit
• Material : 55 per cent Bamboo Viscose , 40 per cent Organic Cotton , 5 per cent Elastane,
• Size : 44cm x 45cm, 73cm x 63cm
• Colours : Sage, grey marle, rust, wheat
• Multi-tog function
• Still requires additional fitted sheet

While the baby world is full of parenting hacks and gadgets, we don’t often see many new launches in the baby bedding department. Say hello – or goodnight (hopefully!) – to the baby tuck sheet from ErgoPouch. Essentially a fitted sleeve, the innovative tuck sheet has been designed for babies that crave closeness with a hugging fit.

But how does it work? Slide the tuck sheet onto your mattress (you will still need a fitted sheet for underneath) unzip and place baby under with their feet touching the end of the cot. There are two zips to alter the firmness as your baby grows, but you must ensure you can fit two fingers between the sheet and your baby. Providing a close sleeping environment, we like that you can flip the sheet round to adjust the tog rating. The differing sides are clearly labelled 1.0 and 0.2 tog side. Both feel wonderfully soft but the thicker tog is made from 55 per cent bamboo, 40 per cent organic cotton and five per cent elastane, while the lighter side is 40 per cent organic cotton and five per cent elastane. It comes with a handy temperature guide, so parents know how to layer according to the room’s temperature.

Our little tester seemed very content with this close sleep environment, and it has the potential to be a miracle product for newborn babies suffering with startle reflex. Plus, it removes the worry of blankets as it can’t come untucked.

The verdict: Cot bedding

The Mamas & Papas two pack of jungle cot sheets performed across the board. Super soft? Tick. Washed well? Tick. Fun design? Double tick, thanks to the two-pack design. Fairly priced and great quality, we couldn’t fault them. If your budget is tight we highly recommend Clair de Lune’s two-pack fitted cot bed sheets despite the low price tag, as quality hasn’t been compromised.

A cosy and clean hotel”

Marco Polo is an old fashion hotel which located in the nearly end of a small street but it is considered very cosy and comfortable. The room and wash rooms are all very clean. There are some small shops and restaurants nearby. However you need short distance walk say about 10 minuets to metro and 20 minuets to central area.

Marco Polo Presnya, Moscow”

The hotel is situated in a hisotical distric of Moscow on a quiet street but only 5 min walk from Tverskaya metro station (one of central stations) and Tverskaya street. It takes 15-20 walk to get on foot to Kremlin and Red square. Overall hotel is very nice with mid-sized rooms. Rooms are clean and well-maintained. The staff are quite friendly, speak several languages. Free Wi-Fi. The only downside is that they didn't have tea/coffee making facilities in the room and have expensive additional services.

Good value for Moscow”

Moscow is not easy for independant tourist, sometime walking is the best solution as Taxi try to rip you off and subway is all in russian!!. So Marco Polo was quite good because walking distance to main attraction, little bit of a walk but possible. Also good restaurant around especially one opposite to the hotel on the left.. Amazing.. Internet was good and fast.. And the breakfast was very good especially with a lot of fruits!!

great location and friendly staff”

with a great location, close to red square and 10 mins walk to the metro station. hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. the price that i paid was 275 usd include gst, consider the location which was not a bad idea.

Distinguished hotel in historic environment”

we enjoyed the spacious rooms and floor heating in the inviting bathroom. the breakfast buffet was delicious. the hotel was situated in a quiet neighbourhood on a tree lined lane with well-kept buildings close to the historic center of town.
