Currently on my first trip to Russia. Started in Saint Petersburg and now my wife and I are on our way to Moscow. This is a wonderful hotel that is in a perfect location for tourists on the main street of Nevsky. All things considered, though, I would probably save at least 50% if I came back by staying in...

I keep coming back to this hotel - it steeped with an atmosphere of history and makes a wonderful change from bland lookalike modern hotels. Breakfast with a pianist and the smell of freshly baked bread. Excellent and friendly service, which is not always easy to come by in Russia. A central location to explore the city in any free...

I love everything in this hotel: Location, service, stuff, atmosphere, room, Breakfast. It was my second visit and I am looking forward to return again. There is really nothing negative in there. The best of all stuff is the Bell Boy that even speaks a few words in Greek (!!!). I highly recommend this Hotel to business and leisure travelers.... More

A wonderful hotel with professional and friendly staff. Great restaurants and a Congierge's desk which which can arrange any tickets, tours and similar. Clean and comfortable. High prices, but worth it.

Very nice, 5 star hotel. Lots of history in this building, let alone the city itself. Rooms are very good but there is a wide selection of types, so make sure you know what you are asking for. Dining was a great experience. Only place I have been where a woman in an evening gown plays a full size harp... More

The hotel is situated right next to the Nevsky Prospekt, and is just minutes away from popular tourist attractions. The quality and atmosphere of breakfast is very good, and the room is extremely comfortable. The hotel staff makes me feel very welcome, and I would love to come back again!

Great location, and good atmosphere, but for a 5 stars hotel and given its price, the rooms need to be refreshed, a little too old fashioned for my taste, even if the hotel is a good representation of old palaces ! The service was very good. Breakfast experience was perfect, but DO NOT have diner there, we were the only... More
