Three points: 1) the hotel itself (room and the building) is horrible: it looks like it hasn't seen any repairs for like 30 years. Rooms are clean, but look like they are not because of age. All equipment is severely out-dated. It's hot in the rooms. 2) The view from the river-side rooms of the hotel is simply gorgeous: I... More

I stay in a lot of hotels around the world and while this certainly isn't the worst it is in the bottom 10%. The major faults are: -The rooms have vents for air conditioning but no controls in the room ,so I guess it is controlled centrally, but it is either broken or not switched on. - The beds are...

Walking distance from Finlandskiy railway station, reasonably priced. I stayed there on two occasions (once in a room with the Aurora view and once on the opposite side), both rooms were clean and comfortable - simply standard for this price category and this city, if I may judge. Definitely nothing as horrible as some of the reviews would suggest -... More

Unless you want to experience the Soviet times as a student in a hostel. I came there to see the great wiev to the Neva river, Aurora cruiser. But met also the great disappointment. You can find much more convenient hostels in around. More

This was our second visit to Hotel St. Petersburg and, again, we were very pleased with our stay. We had a Superior room with a beautiful Neva view. We can say nothing about other rooms, but our was clean and comfortable. We stayed for two nights. The weather was very nice and sunny throughout our visit (mid-April). Service at the... More

The phone didn't work, the TV didn't work, lights didn't work (only the one in the bathroom). I doubt the room I was in had ever been cleaned, the carpet was so grotty. When the shower was turned on, the heating also automatically came on. Great in those cold winters but not so great in a hotel room that's already... More

OK, firstly the positives - the location is superb and the view from the window was amazing, those that complain about the lack of amenities in the surrounding area clearly need to open their eyes a little has the area had plenty of bars/restaurants and a decent well-stocked supermarket within "throwing" distance! The main attractions and sights are within a... More

Sells by afforable price and great view. But procedures are pretty lame. Actually one day of a trip was screwed because of poor management. More

I agree with all of the previous comments. We arrived late in the evening to check in and were met by the most unhelpful staff who obviously had never been taught how to smile. When we eventually got our rooms we could hardly believe our eyes! It was the hottest St P had been for years and yet no AC.... More
