What guests loved the most

“The tasteful decor and personal atmosphere, coupled with 5-star service. The perfectly bi-lingual staff were charming: nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious, with lots of local gourmet touches, while the fire-lit restaurant was a cosy haven after the imperial splendours of the city. Loved the library!”

“The wine, the food, the people. Excellent service and great extras. Really enjoyed my stay. The place is wonderful with so much history. It has made me want to come to St Petersburg again for Christmas. Thank you ! :)”

, Australia

“The hotel is approx 20 minutes walk from the major sites - Hermitage, St Isaacs Cathedral etc - but an interesting walk past the Majinsky Theatre ( 7/8 minutes walk) and the Yusupov Palace. Nice breakfast and good standard of cleanliness and comfort in the rooms. However what really makes this hotel exceptional is the people who work there - front desk, concierge, catering etc. They could not have been more helpful.Prefer this hotel over many of the 5* chain hotels in St Petersburg - more than happy to book again should we return.”

“Alexander House is not an ordinary hotel. It is a beautiful house from which it breathes history, tradition and hospitality. Beautiful interior furnishings, large and comfortable rooms and a pleasant atrium make the house unusual. As if coming out of a fairy tale. There is a team of young people working in this historic house. They are very friendly, willing, perfectly professional. They are ready to fulfill every wish, it is obvious that their work is very interesting to them. I felt like a rare visit to my best friends. Thank you very much. I always love to go back to this fairy tale.”
