Everything most people need from a hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Efficient checking in. Good, clean room. Excellent breakfast on the 9th floor with a stunning view of St Isaacs, efficient concierge service, pick-up service from and to the airport worked fine. A small criticism: a socket for a computer should be more practically placed than under the desk close... More

A very nice hotel at a convenient location and excellent value for money in St Petersburg. Front desk staff were very helpful and spoke excellent English (not that common in the city). Concierge was helpful with the travel tips to other places and I liked it that they did not try to sell us the trips through their agencies. They... More

I liked really clean and comfortable room and friendly staff. Breakfast was also one of the best in SPB. Easy to access by subway from train stations or Moskovskaya subway station near the airport. Luckyly I was upgraded to junior suite also.

Stayed at this hotel for 6 nights in March 2013. The hotel helped with the Visa invitation. I booked the transfers from the airport to the hotel which was very helpful as I don't know a word of russian. The reception staff are helpful and courteous. The room was comfortable and clean. It's a great base to explore St Petersbrug.

A deceivingly large hotel which is internally very attractive, warm and welcoming. A good sized bedroom with Sat TV, free Wi Fi and a small seating area with desk and chairs plus an attractive bathroom / wet room. Great views from our 7th floor room over St Isaacs Cathedral and beautiful old St Petersburg. Pleasant pool and sauna but spoilt... More

When you enter this hotel it feels grand and lovely, but then you realize that you are paying very dearly for every tiny bit of it. We had dinner one night after an exhausting rainy day in the main floor restaurant. The prices were beyond outrageous, the service, nonexistent, and the food, barely edible to hungry travelers after a day... More

I found this hotel through 'booking.com' deals accidentally, while brousing for a short break in the New Year holiday for me and my daughter. One of the reasons - a spa with a swimming pool and also a convenient location in the center of the lovely and historic city - St.Pete. All in all, everything has lived up to our... More

It doesent have that many amenities but what you pay is what you get actually, no surprises there. Check in was a bit let down as I... More

I am living in Russia and my parents booked this hotel to come and visit me for a weekend. Considering I was not even staying there the staff were very good to me, and always acknowledged me cheerfully when I arrived (unspeakably early in the mornings) and left (indecently late at night). They were also very good with my parents,... More
