St Petersburg Hotels

large lovely room and bath. Great spa experience. Staff very helpful, especially the consierge. Hotel dining room is not to be missed. Best location in the city. Marginal and expensive Internet access.

This is a very nice hotel, with a very helpful and friendly staff. The staff did speak English and were very helpful with any questions that were asked. I would recommend this hotel, as it is also a good value for this luxury hotel.

clean hotel, great if your are just there to sleep

title speaks for the hotel. close to the city center. lots of stores around it.

Un petit bed & breakfast très familial, aménagé avec goût dans des appartements d'un vieil immeuble pétersbourgeois. Idéal pour passer qq jours à Saint-Pétersbourg dans des conditions confortables et sympathiques.

The Petro Palace is in the best location in St. Petersburg. It is on a nice quite street, and only a couple of block blocks from the Nevsky Prospect, main street of St. Petersburg. The concierge service was wonderful and booked us a private guided tour with Natasha for the Hermitage. One really needs a guide because the Hermitage is so massive it would take you weeks to see everything. [...] knew all the history about everything we looked at, and we wasted no time in seeing all the highlights, plus you don't have to wait in a very, very long line for tickets. The Hermitage is also only two and a half blocks from the hotel, so you can walk back there anytime you want. The hotel concierge also booked us a very enjoyable tour to Catherine's Palace. The beautiful Church of The Spilled Blood is another very close attraction, as well as many others, the souvenir stalls behind the church have the best prices in all of St. Petersburg, but if you don't have time to go there, the hotel shop wasn't so bad either as to selection and price. We also took the Hop on and Hop off Bus, which I usually really like, but in St. Petersburg, I wouldn't recommend it since it only drives you up and down Nevsky Prospect, and you can walk there easily from the hotel.The Petro Palace has really great beef stroganoff, we only ordered room service, but it was really nice. However, the restaurant has a dancing bear show if you're interested in that kind of thing. Don't get a room on the third floor because that is where their giant, laundry operation room is, and the whole third floor is always really hot and humid. The reason they call it the Petro Palace is because it was once a real palace, so some of the rooms are quite a walk from the elevator. If you spend any time in the hotel as we did, 10 days, you will notice that the hotel seems to be really two hotels in one. One side has basic decorations in the hallways and basic rooms, and the other half has stained glass windows and really nice carpet and wall decorations, which is where the suites are located. The hotel has free high speed internet service in the lobby where there is a bar you can buy drinks and some treats, if you wish, while checking your email and watching the exotic fish swimming in the tank. The Italian restaurant across the street "Da Vinci" has really great pizza, along with many traditional Russian dishes such as dumplings, which were delicious. We would recommend the Petro Palace to anyone visiting St. Petersburg. It is really a great location. As for the staff, they all spoke English, some may seem standoffish by Americans but this is Russian and not the US. They are not on vacation.

The location is right in the historic district. We could walk almost everywhere. Was close enough to walk to see the raisng of the bridges and walk back even as late as it was. Went to the bar on the 7th floor several times. Enjoyed the view from there.

The hotel concıerge was very polite and helpful concerning our questions and did her best to make us feel comfortable in St. Petersburg.

Room clean-up not attentive enough. We stayed for 6 nights and everyday we came back to notice... either the bathroom shampoo/ body lotion not replenished, or bottled water missing, or uncleaned coffee cups still lying there ... The currency exchange machine never worked.

Centrally located in St. Petersburg. 1 to 2 min from St. Issacs Cathedral. 10 to 30 minutes by foot from anywhere else you might want to be. Entrance is shabby, but do not let that scare you. The hotel is small but nice. It is only a 5 room hotel but everything is up to reasonably high standards (I think a stand alone hotel would be 3 stars) Negatives: doors in the hotel need insulation. I could not hear the other guests, but I could hear whatever happened in the hall. The staff person was conscientious, but without sound proofing on the doors, there are human limits to being quiet. Somethings that pleasantly surprised me: it is a small hotel. I would expect some details might not be right.... but they were. There was enough hot water at peak demand in the morning (though water pressure was a problem for a period of 10 minutes). Beds were comfortable. Rooms were very clean. Staff were friendly and fluent in English. Also, the restaurant across the street (Teplo) was amazingly good for a reasonable price (please keep in mind that I had just come from Moscow where a decent meal out for less than US$100 for two means McDonald's)

I traveled to St Petersburg by myself to celebrate my birthday. I spoke no Russian, but knew they spoke English at the hotel. This new little hotel was exactly in the location I wanted, since I would be walking almost everywhere- great location in the historic district. It is on the 3rd floor of an old building, so be prepared for a stairmaster experience, and the first two floors are a bit bombed out looking...but when you get to the hotel itself, it is very nice, clean and pleasant. It is small, which makes for a very comfortable homey feeling. The girls were all very nice and helpful. They went out of their way to make me feel welcome and help me with everything, from getting me flowers for my birthday to lending me a little clock for my room; from helping order a pizza to hiring a guide for touring the out of town Palaces. My room was pleasant and had modern amenities. Every morning a continental breakfast was served at whatever hour you wanted it, and you can come and go at any hour, since there is someone at the desk 24 hrs a day. The price was very reasonable. I would return and would highly recommend this hotel.

It was really hard to find the hotel. The room which we got (I think it's called economy) was teeny tiny, but had everything we needed. Great location with easy access to restaurants and see sites. Rooms are new and clean. Overall pleasant experience.

We had a party of 7 (friends/family) stay at Nevsky 78 Aparthotel. The purpose of our trip was to attend a family wedding and to see Saint Petersburg. I read some unfavourable reviews prior to booking the room and thought I would take my chances as it was a bit cheaper than other hotels and couldn't be all that bad.We had a Russian family pick us up at the airport and located the side entryway of the hotel and helped us check in. I booked 5 reservations online and 1 of them was not listed in their system even though [...]. The hotel was booked solid, so we found another hotel for that 1 person. Not sure where the gliche occurred. The admin office is located 1/4 mile away and temporarily fixed us up with a dual room, but it was still an inconvience as we had to move rooms and find another hotel for that 1 person's last night. The hotel entryway is shared with a Hostel and other apartments. Entryway was dark, smelled of urine, smelled of smoke, had homeless people sleeping on the stairway landings and food/garbage everywhere. There is a locked irongate on the 4th floor separating the hotel with cameras. I would be concerned for personal safety if by myself. But we had no trouble during our stay. We did get a phone call at 3am and said it was the police at the front door. We ignored it and did not further investigate it for fear of being ambushed at the doorway in the middle of the night. Having no lifts did not bother us as we were all physically capable of lifting our luggages. The rooms were basic and small, but clean enough. Beds are okay. The hotel is on a busy street, so it was noisy all night. My sister ended up rebooking at another hotel that cost $20USD more, but had breakfast, elevator, felt safer and no dark entries. If by myself, I would have stayed elsewhere also.The hotel is walking distance to restaurants, museums, shopping and other tourist attractions. The front desk people were nice and tries to help out. Kitchens were basic, but nice to have. They do not clean daily and have to pay extra for cleaning service. We stayed 8 nights and could have used cleaning inbetween. We definitely got some local flavour staying there.

Was there for business. The room is very clean, spacious, everything you need is handy, great staff, there are 3 restaurants a bar with great food from buffet to gourmet. Highly recommend even for stay with kids or fir business. Metro station is nearby.

Our stay in St. Petersburg was mostly centered around daily activities with a good family friend, but the relatively new Holiday Inn on Moskovsky Prospect really sharpened the finer edges of our experience. The staff, mostly young 20 to 30-somethings, were (extremely, in [...]'s case) helpful, energetic, and charming, and on a few occasions even helped us to understand the tricks of getting around town. The gym, while lacking in floor mats, was clean and well organized with new equipment. The hotel's restaurants, Korova Bar and Rodchenko, were a little overpriced, even as hotel dining goes, but offered a great sampling of local cuisine. The gift shop isn't really commendable, since the kitschy selection doesn't match the sky-bound prices. The hotel though, is situated 3 blocks from a major subway station, and for US$1 a ride, I'm sure better gifts can be found 3 stops away in the city center. For the ([...]) price, you can't really beat what you're getting here. You'll almost want to spend you whole holiday IN!

The staff make this hotel extra special . It is a very clean, comfortable well-run hotel with a special sense of intimacy and concern that many bigger impersonal hotels don't have. While not super slick it is more than pleasing in appearance. I was travelling on my own and more than happy to have made L'Angleterre my choice in St Petersburg. The position makes walking to most of the sites possible. The food is also excellent.

My wife and I are experienced, cosmopolitan travelers and had minimal expectations for our hotel in St. Petersburg. We were completely wrong. The Angleterre exceeded our expectations by a broad margin. The staff throughout is highly professional, competent, and reliable. Their English skills were excellent, their willingness to help was welcome and their demeanor was charming. The hotel's courier service is (while expensive) also valuable, as their drivers speak excellent English and protect against the maverick, unreliable cab companies operating in the city. Also worth mentioning as superb are: the quality of the 24-hour room service, the buffet breakfast, and the bedding. One thing we would recommend to anyone is the upgrade to a room with an intimate view of St. Isaac's (and the Square) which is monumental and awe-inspiring. Additionally, the hotel was wonderful in helping us secure our travel visas to Russia. As anyone who has done this knows, it is a complex, 2-month process filled with red tape, requiring a "sponsor" (in this case, the Angleterre) for admission to the country. Their concierge responded to all of our requests for assistance promptly and thoroughly, including faxing us the necessary documents. The negatives are few. Most signicantly, the hotel and St. Pete's itself are among the most expensive locales we have ever encountered (including Venice, Rome, Paris and NYC). Additionally, as with many European hotels, the Angleterre charges excessively for the use of WI-FI in the rooms. But these are insignificant quibbles compared to the wonderful virtues of this marvelous hotel. We would recommend a stay there to anyone.

Emplacement idéal (mais forcément très bruyant) canapés lits en mauvais état (un des 5 couchages était "en ruine"). On vous coupe l'eau chaude la veille de votre départ . Pourquoi ? mystère ! On se lave donc à l'eau froide fin décembre. Accueil inexistant : Ne pas arriver le soir si on ne parle pas le russe. On nous a fourni 1 clé pour 5 adultes.

Awesome location and apartment! Had a full kitchen and even a washing machine for my clothes. Only down fall was the smell of sewage from the drain and the difficultly in finding the location as it was poorly marked. Otherwise I would definitely stay there again and suggest it to friends.

This hotel was a great value for someone traveling for an extended stay. The rooms were spacious, modern, they had a kitchenette, laundry machines on site + offered free breakfast. Would definitely stay there again!

I could have easily moved right into this incredible hotel after my short 2 day stay. Vasilievsky uniquely combines internal comfort and class, with the external beauty of this island location in St. Petersburg. The staff are serviceable and friendly - a regular American style oasis in the middle of Russia! It's missing only a pool, hot tub, and room service - with those amenities, my stay would have been sheer perfection. Thank you, Marriott, for a wonderful visit all the same!

key personnel speak good english and concierge was most helpful and accessable

enjoyed the gym and buffet breakfast, good Russian buffet with table placed in a manner to make chatting with other guests easy.

We arrived at 10:00 pm. It was 95 degrees in St Petersburg. We asked if the hotel had AC and were told yes. Upon checking in the room we found they had AC however, it did not work and had not worked for the past three days. The hotel lobby staff were rude. Dirty ash trays littered the lobby. The hotel was dirty and felt like I was in the ghetto.

No wifi in rooms. Great staff. Hotel ok if on budget
