Great location for bars and shopping and plenty to do close by even later on. The staff were friendly and spoke good english. They served us a breakfast which was passable and... More

Our family stayed at this hotel with our friends last summer. The location is great! A few minutes from the Kazan Cathedral Nevsky and Nevsky Prospect on foot, next to the bridge with Griffon. Great view from the window on the Griboyedov Canal. But everything else... 1. The building is old and there is no elevator there. So, to climb... More

It was designed by the architect Keiser and raised in 1879. The Russian Society on pharmaceutical goods trade placed here its offices and storehouses. The owners of the hotel tried to keep... More
