We stayed in a suite over a weekend in June. What was amazing was the attentive service and eye contact, from the bellboy to reception and even the housekeeping- which is totally NOT Russian. As for the hotel itself, the lobby and general areas are quite charming, but at the end you can tell it's quite dated. There are some... More

I have just returned after a stay at Grand Hotel Europe and would definitely recommend it to everyone. The location is very good. I generally prefer that part of the downtown compared to the area where W and Astoria are located. I had a deluxe room, which faced a lovely street. The fact that Nevsky avenue, the city’s busiest, was... More

Located in heart of the city , it is very near to the busy business district and situated near to every important cathedrals, shopping malls and banks. The hotel interiors and exteriors are very elegant, contemporary and higky attractive. Rooms are big, clean and very well... More

This hotel is in a great location, and is really grand. Other things I liked, were the breakfast buffet (though I think it was a bit pricey) it had a great selection, and they made omelettes and pancakes to order. It also had free wifi! The room was really quiet despite the noisy road outside. On the downside, the bed... More

This is supposed to be the best hotel in Russia. It's certainly very classy. The breakfast buffet is amazing, shame about the pianist playing cheesy music while you're eating it. Restaurants are good but much overpriced. The most disappointing aspect was the reception staff. They didn't seem to be interested in their guests' needs and any request for service (perish... More

The Grand Hotel Europe is in a wonderful location, right on Nevsky Boulavard, steps from the Russian Museum, the Church on Spilled Blood, the St. Petersburg Philharmonic and Mikhailovsky Theater. The staff are extremely attentive and the level of service is excellent. I had a very nice stay, but I just came out of the experience feeling like the hotel... More

Great location and impeccable rooms. Much larger than you think. The eateries are VERY overpriced, do yourself a favor and venture out for meals. There are 2 very nice breakfast places out the door and to th double right. One is a PIZZA? Place where people are drunk at 6 am, but great coffee and local color. Another block to... More

For one of my last birthday vacation, I wanted to experience one of the 50 top palace hotels of the world. Each night here costs you one week in an average hotel (and I decide to stay 3 days!), but you have to do that once in your lifetime. I will never forget it, nor regret anything. I even took... More
