Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with classic antique furniture and friendly guests. The owners were fantastic. However, the rooms might be a bit small for some but they were spotlessly clean.
The hotel is located in an ideal spot within walking distance of various restaurants and entertainment venues. The rooms are small but nicely updated with modern amenities. The service was consistently warm and helpful throughout our stay, making it very welcoming. The dining options were sufficient, offering pastries, coffee, and fruit for a light breakfast. Overall, a convenient and cozy stay for those exploring St Petersburg.
I found the hotel to be a charming and cozy place to stay, centrally located near various restaurants and shops. The rooms, albeit a little tired, were tastefully decorated and clean. The service was outstanding, with enthusiastic and friendly staff who knew the area well. The dining options were simple but adequate, and the location was convenient for exploring the downtown area.
