The hotel was clean, quiet and situated centrally in st Petersburg. So far so good. The room was supposed to have a bath, but didn't and was poorly planned, so that it was difficult to sit on the toilet. They tried to charge every little thing at horrendous prices. A bottle of water 10 USD, internet access in the room... more

I stayed here going on a sightseeing trip on my own in October 2009. The hotel is very centrally located, only a few steps away from St Isaac's Cathedral or Isaakievskiy sobor (Исаакиевский собор). The hotel looks great on the inside - there is a wide open atrium into which most rooms face, and a glass roof on top of... more

The hotel has good clean comfortable rooms of the known Renaissance standard. It has a great location away from the city noise but still close enough to the main attractions. Bus and trolleybus service is quick and efficient, so getting to most places is a breeze. The hotel service is not your typical 5-star, but this is a Russian thing... more

Great location. From 6th floor bar, you can almost touch St Isaac Cathedral. The service was not so good. more

We stayed here for nearly a week this September. It was a breath of fresh air compared to the Moscow Marriot, as the room service and bar prices were much more reasonable. We really enjoyed the 6th floor lounge that had a view of St. Isaac's for a drink at the end of the day. The location is right by... more

Reception on arrival great but porter at the door was not helpful with the luggage. Room super very happy. Breakfast in the morning poor service and poor choice. Had some sparkling wine two nights condiments only served on first night. On departure Saturday morning at 9am no porter available to assist with luggage. Concierge arranged for some tickets for us... more

My wife and I stayed 7 nights. Used points and our Marriott gold card for upgrade to a suite on the 8th floor. We were provided free breakfast for 7 days (due to gold card) but had to request adding my wife to the voucher which they did - they also provided 7 days of vouchers for a glass of... more

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. As Gold Elite members, we were upgraded to a small suite on the 7th floor. Instead of a suite, I would call it a room with a sitting room. It was very nice, comfortable, clean, with a big bathroom (what's the deal with the shower curtain? That's a big NO NO according to... more

I stayed here in July just for one night after spending a few days in Kempinski Moika 22. So, I am trying to compare the two. Renaissance is right across St Isaac. The location is great, but I think the location of Kempinski is better (right in front of a river!). Rooms: The room is Kempiniski is better decorated, but... more
