Stayed here the 3rd week in Oct and it was FANTASTIC! First of all, the people there were absolutely STELLAR. Alice, Anastasia, Natalya, Evgeny...SO charming and helpful and PATIENT! The hotel is in a GREAT location, walking distance to SOOOO many things, restaurants, grocers, the Post office, shops, metro, and of course attractions. The room was SO lovely, and SOOO... More

Stayed here in October 2011 and was so impressed with it that I had to write a review. The hotel was brilliantly located, close to all main sites. It was spotlessly clean and had everything you could possibly need. However, the best thing about the hotel was the friendly, helpful service with a big smile! All staff went out of... More

We stayed here for 5 nights in September 2011. Good location, less than 5 minute walk to Nevskiy Prospect and 10 minutes to St Isaac’s Cathedral. Free computer for guest’s use in reception area. Good if plain breakfast with the same items every day. The Russian Tea Party on Wednesday night was a nice touch. Quirky elevator that jerked and... More

This hotel, in an apartment building,was a real find. Though the rooms were a little small, with very small beds, the location could not have been better. 10 min. walk from the Hermitage and most tourist locations. The staff spoke great English (not easy to find in St. Pete) and were extremely helpful with restaurant suggestions and other tips. The... More

As most reviewers have said, this hotel is centrally located and less expensive than most others in the area. You can easily walk to most tourist attractions, and the staff all speak English and are both welcoming and helpful. The rooms are what I'd call "basic," but they're clean, and ours, which faced away from the street, was extremely quiet.... More

This so-called mini hotel in the very centre of St. Petersburg is perfect for exploring the nearby top sites of the beautiful city. I come to St. Petersburg regularly, and this time I wished to stay close to the main sights. The hotel is situated in Bolshaya Morskaya, a few steps from the Isaac cathedral, The Winter Palace and the... More

The location of Herzen House could not be bettered, half way between St Isaacs cathedral and Nevsky Prospect, and closer to Palace Square than all of the upscale hotels close to the cathedral (Astoria, Angleterre, Petro Palace and the coming Four Seasons). But it isn't competing with upscale hotels at all. The premises occupy two floors of an old apartments... More

Situated close to many of the major sites,e.g. 5minutes from St Isaacs and the Hermitage. Close to a great selection of restaurants ranging from very expensive to inexpensive. Hotel is clean, breakfast is good. Staff speak English and are very helpful. We have been here for eight nights an give it a thumbs up. More

Had a wonderful 7 nights at Herzen House,. Staff very welcoming, helpful and certainly a comfortable hotel. No flash but hotel very clean, breakfast healthy and position- you can't get better. Good restaurants nearby and Nevsky Prospect very close but not so close that you feel its busy-ness. I had made a mistake with my booking but that proved to... More
