Good times

No complaints at all. Stayed one night there in terminal 2 on arrival floor. Sleeping was comfortable although the benches were not really soft. High presence of police and security staff, but they didn't bother anybody who was sleeping. As it was hot summer, the temperature inside was just right.
Not a bad place, but not great either

I've been in SVO-2 several times. I always arrive in advance so have to wait an hour or half before check in will be announced. And there's not enough seats in the airport. So when u travel with a company u hardly can hope to seat all together. But i've never seen homeless people there. The thing that always annoys me is the rudeness of the staff. I try to be friendly but sometimes they even didn't tell me hello. But when u pass the customs things change. U can go shopping, spend time in cafes or just lay on the seats. No one will disturb you! But as for me there's no enough room in waiting areas and halls. So it's not the best place for trolley racing)
Um, you may want to rethink sleeping in this place

This was the most disgusting airport I've ever been to after 10 years of traveling. I had an asthma attack due to all the cigarette smoke, the toilets overflowed and the floor was covered crap and there were piles of trash all over the place. The few staff that spoke English only knew how to insult visitors. My 1-hour connection seemed like 1 month.
