The only one of its kind, Radisson Sonya Hotel is an exclusive Hotel with a special St. Petersburg charm and unique interior. It is also a hotel with a quite distinguished individual character, the main feature of which is the conceptuality of its design. Being very much impressed with one of the most famous literature masterpieces, the novel "Crime and punishment", by Fyodor Dostoevsky, the designers decided to reveal the versatility and unpredictability of human nature in the Hotel interior concept. As F. Dostoevsky is widely considered to be the greatest researcher of the infinite depths of Russian soul, the spiritual metamorphosis of a human soul becomes the concept basis. A remarkable detail in this case is the character of the main heroine: this poor and destitute yet fragile girl becomes a great supporter of strayed and misguided Raskolnikov. Therefore, in honor of this kind and compassionate little woman Radisson Sonya is named.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stayed for a night with my husband in Radisson Sonya , we had a nice experience. The bed in the room was amazing , I felt like I m sleeping in a cloud . Also liked the food , it was really tasty . I even managed to visit hamam in the evening, after a long day it’s a perfect way to spend time . The choice of food for breakfast was rather wide . So I would definitely come back to this hotel ! Big thanks to personnel of the hotel for doing a great job !

Stayed here solo in Sep 2023. The location and pricing were the reasons to stay here, along with the availability of online booking…Radisson is one of the few large hotel chains that allows bookings in Russia currently. The hotel is in a nice but quiet (not manic) neighborhood….and a 25 min walk from the main sites like the Hermitage and the Cathedrals. There are several lovely restaurants/bars/coffee shops in a few blocks radius, and also grocery stores nearby if you need it. I had a Standard Room (payment is cash only currently for foreigners), with a City view. The room was small and I think it would have been tough for 2 people to stay here…especially the bed was on the small side (maybe a Double, at most). However it was very comfortable and I slept well. And also the rest of the room was high spec, including the cozy bathroom. Lots of powerpoints available, which is a positive. And the room was silent despite overlooking a somewhat busy intersection. WiFi was good enough to stream video. I didn’t opt for the Breakfast, but it looked okay. I didn’t eat in the restaurant either. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping was the only downside from the service point, as the rooms were never made up when I returned…only done around 4.30/5pm. Laundry was on the expensive side. Overall I would stay here again…it has bit more local vibe than the main tourist area hotels. main downsides are the 25min (2km) walk to the main sites and also the small rooms.

It is a good hotel, especially the good receptions and service guys. The breakfast was delicious. The location was near to shopping centers and also some places like Hermitage muesum. Also I could have some small workout at the small fitness room. However I enjoyed this hotel. Thanks for your good services.

Writing a review of Radisson Sonya's cosy small room is like writing a review of a mediocre flim with great actors. "They are doing their best with the material they were given." Radisson Sonya is reasonably centrally located. That's a plus. It has a very nice restaurant, Metamorphos, and offers wonderful breakfasts with large selections of all kinds of foods. That's another plus. Radisson Sonya is built along the lines of Marriott Marquee in Times Square in that it is a hollow rectangle with rooms along the perimeter. However, where the Marriott has a lobby and doors facing it in the hollowed-out center, the Radisson has a breakfast restaurant with rooms facing it. So it would make sense to ask for rooms overlooking the street and not the "inner courtyard." The rooms are decently appointed, but more on that and in detail a bit later; bathrooms have good quality toiletries. Soundproofing is great making for a good night's sleep. The hotel is named after Sonya Marmeladova, apparently, and every room's number is accompanied by a quote from "Crime and Punishment." That's just sweet. The floors in the rooms are tiled, and I really liked that. Much cleaner that the ubiquitous carpeting. Slippers are provided. I stayed at what is termed a "cosy small room," and I can only speak for this type of room. I have no problem at all with "small," in fact, I love small cosy spaces. My problem is with the rest of the room. It did not have clothes spaces with doors. No closet, no armoire. Just a niche probably a foot and a half wide that your outer garments share with the ironing board. And I don't care about the board either, I just want a door there! Worse still, there was not a single drawer in the entire room (if you don't count a safe as such). Drawers are important. Drawers give people a feeling of privacy, illusory though it may be. A drawer draws a line (pun not intended) telling people coming into the room "This is where privacy starts." And I suspect that the hotel's staff may not be too eager to see their customers' underwear and other similarly personal items. If space is a concern, well, they did put in a desk. Let at least the desk have one single drawer! No, no such luck! So, my slushy suitcase (no luggage rack either, and St. Petersburg in winter can be horribly slushy and you will be dragging filth everywhere) went on top of the white desk (where else?), and served as my dresser for the duration of my stay. What is great about Radisson Sonya, though, is its staff. Personnel at reception was very friendly and attentive. In a slushy winter, it's really easy to see if housekeeping does a proper job, and they did. Both at breakfast and at a la carte dining, they are courteous, attentive, and prompt. So basically, I would say the good outweighs the problematic areas. Yet, caveat emptor.

If you're not that eager to spend much of your time just around the noisy Nevsky prospect you'd better try this spot where you'll find less cars and less pedestrians although still get a chance to reach the Winter palace simply by walking from the hotel via Neva embankment with a fabulous view to the St. Peter and Paul fortress and the famous bridges. It is also a great option of a start point for a night walk around the almost empty old streets of central city. All the usual travaller's cravings inside the hotel is also great!

I’m a big fan of Radisson hotels for some reason - I find them original and not boring as most of the chain hotels. So when I was planning to visit St. Petersburg I was very excited that the Radisson hotel I will be staying in is themed and dedicated to Dostoevsky (famous russian writer). I’m holding Gold status with Radisson - that gave me a double upgrade to a large corner room on the 2nd floor and that was the only thing I enjoyed. Unfortunately hotel personnel consist mostly of young people without proper hospitality experience and the second very unfortunate problem is that the hotel's only restaurant is open only until 23.00 and this includes room service. Yes, you get it right - you can’t get anything to eat or drink at the hotel after 23.00. This is not advertised on the website (if i knew this information in advance i would never have booked that hotel). Of course you can order take-away using local delivery services, but the hotel will not give you the opportunity to reheat food (they said it’s based on local laws). Twice I was ordering cocktails from the bar and twice I saw it was prepared “by the book” by the immature staff without proper experience. Breakfast which I prepaid for all 6 days of my stay was below average for that price and not a single dish was switched during my long stay. I’m not planning to come back to this hotel and can’t recommend it to anyone travelling to St. Petersburg.

ROOMS: spacious with big bathroom, but decor is rather unusual for hotel industry because of dark interior design. It was cold inside the room and especially I want to put your attention that floor in bath was cold too. LOCATION: convenient walking road (~15 min) to the Summer garden (Letniy sad). There are some groceries nearby. FOOD: we ordered in-rooms service. It was fast, food was tasty.
