Imagine you bought four old luxury houses and a palace and wanted to put them together into one hotel but were too cheap to hire an architect...you would have the Taleon Palace. A rabbit warren maze of hallways and secret passages. Overpriced ( double any other) restaurants with average food at best. On the up side, the service is very... More

Arriving at this hotel, as we drove through the beautiful city of St Petersburg, was just the icing on the cake, our room can only be described as pure luxury, it was extremely spacious with a gorgeous bathroom which was complimented with heated floors and towel rails. We had a small balcony off of our room, which was also a... More

I loved everything about it. We spent out first wedding night there and we were happy about our choice. I want to come back there for the anniversary $-) The most fascinating place is the swimming pool on the top floor. There was nobody at 10 a.m. , so I enjoyed the whole pool tiled with mosaic all alone.

This is a member of the LHW and yes, it is luxurious with spacious rooms,gold and crystal, infact a bit too much...but every one's taste...it also misses some central point, a cosy bar or something. Now, the bar is somptueus with big chairs, just like a palace, but stil, rather small. Service is very good. We had no electricity fore... More

I visited Taleon on May 2013 for 5 nights with my family (2 kids 6 and 5 years old). Staff is very polite and especially concierge service is far above average. The room was very spacious and clean. We had an upgrade to a superior suite without additional cost. The decoration and the style of the hotel is very conservative,... More

This hotel has been renovated with style and the service is good if not excellent. The major attractions are within waking distance. Also the metro station is nearby. I do recommend to use metro. It is very modern and safe. The rack rate is high, but if you get a good deal this hotel is defenitely the place to stay.

My wife, daughter and I spent a week here visiting St Petersburg. It was an excellent hotel - nice rooms, nice staff and good food. In addition to being a great hotel in its own right, it is also in an excellent location and within easy walking distance to most of the main sights of the city. It is also... More

Our family with 3 kids below 10 spent a long weekend at the Taleon. The location is excellent close to the Herimitage as well as restaurants and shopping around Nevsky Prospect. The best thing with the hotel is the large pool on the top floor which was a great asset during days with bad weather and to relax after sightseeing.... More

My 13 year old daughter and I visited St.Petersburg for 4 days in February. The Taleon was recommended by friends so we stayed there. The pictures do not actually represent what the hotel is like. The Taleon seems to be primarily a conferene hotel. The lobby, while decorated nicely, is a long and circuitous way from the guest rooms. The... More
