A lovely little hotel, the guys on the front desk were particularly helpful and friendly and spoke very good English. My room was spacious, clean and tidy with a well stock mini bar and good Wi-Fi connection. The hotel seemed to be traditionally furnished but with all the mod cons. The only downside is the walls are very thin and... More

We just arrived and had requested early check-in. I was nervous when arriving at 9am but they were very accommodating. Alexander at reception is probably one of the nicest guys I have had the pleasure of dealing with in over 100 hotels I have stayed in. he quickly changed my room to a double with smoking and because it was...

I stayed here during July 2012 on a week long city break and may I start by congratulating the hotel staff, not only were they friendly and competent but also spoke very good English and were also keen to share with me their knowledge of their city.

This meant that we had to take an elevator to the third floor and then walk up from the... More

After I had had enough of the terrible Oktiabrskaya I booked one week at the Happy Pushkin at a really good rate through booking.com. It cost less than the Oktiabrskaya, so despite the good reviews on tripadvisor I did not have great expectations. But I was wrong! I had a lovely room with a big bed and flat screen telly,... More

Although it did not start of very well - they lost my reservation-, they overly compensated me for this; I booked a single room and I got an enormous suite (probably around 100m2) with big comfortable bathroom. The hotel is clean and colourfull with a lot of Dali inspired paintings in the rooms and hallways. Staff is alsovery helpfull. One... More

There are problems with this place, but I suspect a return visit in a year or two will be well rewarded. The location is excellent, midway between the Hermitage and the Mariinsky Theatre, both of which were locations I wanted to visit, but you should be aware of a few negatives that prevail for at least the time being. The... More
