We chose this hotel because relatives stayed here and because of TA's positive reviews. We were impressed that it lived up to our expectations on most counts. Herzen House is perfectly located in the heart of the old St Petersburg and closer to Palace Square than all of the upscale hotels close to the cathedral (Corinthia hotel, Grand hotel Europe... More

You couldn't get a better placed hotel for exploring the heart of Petersburg. The staff are helpful and friendly, and while the hotel is not luxurious, the room and public areas were all spotless. Wednesdays they even lay on a traditional Russian tea with blinis! Thoroughly recommended

It's arriving and immediately being recognized as the travellers from the Netherlands and welcomed with "how was your flight". It's finding a personalised letter in your room explaining that the Babuschka keychain is a gift from the hotel. It's the triple flags on the desk - The Russian, hotel and Netherlands' flag. It's the very friendly receptionists with amazingly good... More

Herzen House, Herzen House, Herzen House = Location, Location, Location This strategically located hotel in central St. Petersburg was a true find. In addition to the proximity to the City's gems the hotel staff made our trip an extraordinary experience. Weeks before our arrival and throughout our stay the entire staff answered questions, arranged a tour guide, selected restaurants and... More

The Hotel location is good as it is only a 5-10 minute walk from Nevsky Prospect and we walked to the Marinsky Theatre from the Hotel where we saw a ballet that was in our opinion a better performance by far than the ballet that we saw at the Bolshoi in Moscow and the tickets were hundreds of dollars cheaper...

Somewhat spartan, but decent breakfast and so very close to every major site in the city. Our daughter found a place not far from here - much nicer and about the same price. I'd check out a few more options before settling for this.

We spend 3 nights there. The hotel is clean and the location is the biggest advantage of the hotel. The rooms are clean, but little small. Staff was friendly and helpfull.. except ot the airport transport. They proposed us choice between regural taxi for 800RUB and hotel taxi 1600RUB.. just for your information, airport taxi FROM Pulkovo cost 900RUB. Its... More

We stayed in a Superior room for 5 nights in June/July. The superior rooms are very spacious, clean and comfortable. The aircon is efficient and silent, and the staff are friendly and helpfull. On the downside, the breakfast consists of the cheapest grade of mass-produced bread, meat and cheese, the walls are thin so if your neighbour likes to play... More

You can't go wrong with this location. 5 minutes walk to Nevsky prospect (wgich is the center of the universe in St. Pete's), 6 minutes to palace square, hermitage (and the hydrofoil station for Peterhof) and 3 minutes to the metro. Do spend the 450rup for a taxi from train station if you happen to take the sapsan from Moscow)... More
