Stay with my wife for 5 days in St Petersburg at Hotel Vera. Staff was very friendly and helpful, with directions, making reservations and all of our other requests. The rooms were clean, and although a little small, we're great for what we needed them for. Our laundry was done for a reasonable price (although not folded very well -... More

The Hotel Vera is right on the trolley bus route making the journey to all the major sights a breeze. The rooms are small but comfortable, and all have fridges. With so much to see and do in St Petersburg there is no need to spend too much time in the room anyway. The food is inexpensive and high quality,... More

I chose this hotel based on tripadvisor reviews and it was a great choice. For this price range it's very good. I arrived at 9am and they immediately checked me in without any extra charge. My room was upgraded after it turned out that TV in my room had some problems. The customer service was very impressive. The girls in... More

If you read my review of Vera Hotel from 2010 (below), you already know that I love this hotel. If you did not, I recommend you do as I described it in great detail and don't want to repeat myself. It is de facto my "home away from home" in St. Petersburg. In September, it was my 3rd stay in... More

This was my first visit to Russia and I like to travel independently so I was slightly scared about the language barrier and the visa issue.

A group of 12 people went to Hotel Vera. The personnel organized all our stay for us, including guide, bus, driver, restaurants, boat tour, etc. Everything went absolutely perfectly (we were expected every day on time) and the guide had a lot of knowledge and practical sense. It is also worth noting that we were a group of firemen and... More

This was a fine hotel. We were a group of 3 so we had a suite. It is in an older building that has been nicely renovated. The rooms (and bathroom) were fine. Not sure if this is only available with the suite - but we had a refrigerator, microwave, cupboards, plates, silverware, glasses. So you can eat some of... More

I actually considered the Hotel Vera because of TripAdvisor recommendations. Before my trip, all my questions were answered promptly via email, making me feel comfortable. was anxious because I would be arriving before my friends and this was my first time in St. Petersburg and I don't speak Russian. The hotel is pleasantly decorated with little details of historic design.... More

Hotel Vera was a brief walk from the train station. We were pleasantly surprised when we were given choice of rooms, requiring a room for a family of four. Like many reviews mentioned, the rooms were orderly and clean. It was great to have drinking water on our floor since you can not drink tap water in Russia. The breakfast... More
