My family and I enjoyed our stay at Northern Lights. The location makes all the fuss with carrying luggage up to 3rd floor (which is not that bad, anyway) worth it. The staff is friendly and helpful and there is hardly anything they wouldn't assist you with. Breakfast is filling and they are flexible in what you can have each... More

We (my partner and me) stayed here for a week in January 2012 - turned out to be the ideal choice. Friendly staff, warm, comfortable and quiet. The location is excellent - walking distance to so many places. The idea of breakfast in bed seemed strange at first - but really worked. We will certainly return to St Petersburg -... More

We were a little daunted approaching the Northern LIghts at 8:00 am after arriving in St. Petersburg by overnight train from Moscow, as it appears just as a small sign on the wall by a door, with little advertising. You go up four flights of stairs, and once inside, they let us check into our room early which was much... More

The Northern Lights Hotel in St Petersburg was a great choice for our family of 4 for our 4 night visit to the city. We were walking distance from everything (a good thing as the traffic in the city is horrendous). The hotel is one of the new 'Mini Hotels' that provide accommodation in the city centre. Most of the... More

Climbing those three flights of stairs does get a little old after 4 days of walking all around town but it was worth it (and good exercise) because the location is good, not too far from any of the main sights, the rooms are basic but clean and quiet, and the staff is very helpful. Did hear a little talking... More

After not such a great arrival to St Petersburg the staff at northern lights were very helpful and went out of their way to ensure our needs were met. My husband and I stayed for 3 nights and found it's location great to access most of the impressive sites. I would recommend contacting the hotel to organise a transfer to... More

Northern Lights Hotel is located in the residential section of the City Center. Many of major historical sites are in short walking distance. Yet the area is quiet and safe. For back packers like us, it is a perfect place. Two metro stations (Nevsky prospect and Sennaya pl.) are in about 5 -10min walking. Also, more than half a dozen... More

Stayed with a friend in mid-September at the Northern Lights hotel and it was perfect. Good sized-room and bathroom (especially welcome after staying in Moscow hotels), clean and efficient, and the staff there was wonderful and helpful. The neighborhood is great and the hotel is perfectly situated for tourists. The entrance is a little daunting at first but it's worth... More

We went with another couple, had email confirmation from the hotel the day before re our reservation, when we were picked up at the airport I received a mobile phone call from them to say we as two couples were going to be split up. Two could stay there but the other couple would have to go to an apartment... More
