What guests loved the most

“Really elegant hotel, in a perfect position in the city center, very close with the central station.Staff always available, they did everything to make me at my ease. They offer you also a welcoming champagne and the quality/price is really good. Absolutely recommend!”

, Italy

“The staff was nice and helpful, especially the guys in the restaurant. The building itself is a bit old and used, but it has a very interesting lobby area: next to the reception there are some comfortable sofas, a bar, and some shops - along with an artifical waterfall. I would highlight the quality of the food in the restaurant. We tried plenty of things, all of them has been excellent! The hotel is in a walking distance from some of the most popular places in St Petersburg.”
