Lots of reviewers talked about the great value, decor and cleanliness of this gem of a B&B. I would also like to add that Elena and Irina, the two Russian ladies that greet and clean and generally manage this B&B are incredibly helpful, friendly and welcoming. The Swiss owner is well represented by these lovely hosts. Recommendations on restaurants, transportation,... More

My friends and I stayed at swissSTAR during 7-10 April and so impressed with the service. They provide clean facilities and breakfast. The location is perfect for us. We can walk to Nevsky Prospekt and Mariinsky Theatre. The staff is also nice.

No problems with booking - the owner responds very fast, the booking was confirmed and paid for within a few hours. Our stay itself was great (we only stayed for 1 night). It felt like we were welcomed guests in the house: the staff was friendly and helpful (they gave us an umbrella when it was raining outside), the rooms... More

They have self-serve breakfast available, which worked... More

It's a very small and cosy B&B: 8 rooms total. It's immensely clean, and very comfortable in terms of beds, and functionality of all appliances. The availability of a communal kitchen is very helpful too. The staff is very professional and extremely friendly. Self served breakfast is a verygood idea bcs it gives one a flexibility of choosing the time... More
