Currently on my first trip to Russia. Started in Saint Petersburg and now my wife and I are on our way to Moscow. This is a wonderful hotel that is in a perfect location for tourists on the main street of Nevsky. All things considered, though, I would probably save at least 50% if I came back by staying in...

I keep coming back to this hotel - it steeped with an atmosphere of history and makes a wonderful change from bland lookalike modern hotels. Breakfast with a pianist and the smell of freshly baked bread. Excellent and friendly service, which is not always easy to come by in Russia. A central location to explore the city in any free...

I love everything in this hotel: Location, service, stuff, atmosphere, room, Breakfast. It was my second visit and I am looking forward to return again. There is really nothing negative in there. The best of all stuff is the Bell Boy that even speaks a few words in Greek (!!!). I highly recommend this Hotel to business and leisure travelers.... More

The service was very good. Breakfast experience was perfect, but DO NOT have diner there, we were the only... More

Great warmest welcome ever! Perfect service! Relaxing atmosphere with live piano during breakfast. Perfect location, very central. Two times housekeeping service. Can't be better place for romantic stay.

I first visited this hotel in 1996.... I was amazed, totally shocked by the luxury and gold... I visited again now, and the hotel is the same. I could not see any differences. So is this good or bad...? well, I am found of "old money" and I think they have succeeded in keeping the original atmosphere. The rooms are... More
