Stayed 14 nights May 2013. Overall this hotel takes some beating for location, comfortable convenience and price bearing in mind this is St Petersburg. General hotel standard - a large hotel (but you know that before you go) and as a consequence corridors are quite long although a walk to the room is not going to kill you. Lifts can... More

On the plus side, the hotel is well located making it very convenient. It is right next to the following: metro station, 24-hour supermarket, shopping center, and lots of dining places that stay open quite late. It's one metro station away from the train station from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Bus 27 stops 2-3 minutes away from the hotel and... More

Location is good, close by center and cross road to all directions in city and out. Nothing more... Easy and old hotel with rebuild facade. No sauna, no swimming pool etc facilities. Staff is average with max 3 stars customer care skills. Howaver, its not 5 star hotel, so it should be as it is - cheap and low 3+... More

I really haven't got much to add to the other comments. The hotel dates from Soviet times, when Big was considered to be Better. Check-In is fuzz-free. There's are enough cash-dispensers and opportunities for changing money. The 'bar' really doesn't deserve that name: I think they want people to go into the beer restaurant which is in the basement. Corridors... More

I thought other reviewers were kidding about the long walk to the rooms. They weren't kidding. It was a really long walk (5 minutes from the lobby to my room), so don't forget anything in your room and expect to "run back up and get it" really quickly. The drapes don't block the light, so don't expect to sleep late... More

This is a huge hotel that is well located but seriously functional. An extremely long walk to rooms at the far end of the corridors -they should think about offering taxis! Rooms small but functional - don't expect any luxuries or niceties. Staff are fine. Restaurants are fine. When i was there the room temperature seemed to have a mind... More

Good location. There is a metro station right next to the hotel and downstairs there is a supermarket that is open 24/7. Hotel rooms are decent, they have fridge, safety box and decent shower and a very old TV. Cleaning staff was not very efficient, but it did not bother me too much. The hotel lobby and the bar inside... More

I and my friends stayed hotel for two nights in february 2013. Cheap hotel, allthough we liked. Nothing fancy but excellent for sleep. Breakfast was OK. Good location, friendly service. Rooms are kinda cheap too but do their job. Clean and quiet hotel. Hotel is huge size. Lots of walking involved when entering your room :)

stayed here for 3 nights. Excellent location, the metro station is just next to it. clean modern rooms. The rooms may not be of the latest design and decor but for what you are paying its good enough. Its close to everything and a good point to start walking and wondering around.
