I stayed 3 weeks. Without me asking for it I was offered a larger studio on the 3 rd floor when it became available - most appreciated! Staff are very friendly. You get a little tray with staff for breakfast which they will cater to your wishes. I felt very much at home and shall be back should the occasion... More

We had a wonderful 6 night stay at the Austrian Yard Hotel in early September. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful - thank you Olga and Svetlana. Our room was spacious, clean and quiet and we especially enjoyed the breakfast food left in the fridge and replenished every day. We loved St Petersburg and if we are ever... More

We trawled through the 'Lonely Planet Guide' and found this 'super secluded place next to the Austrian consulate'. The German and USA consulates are also further down the street. We arrived off the overnight train from Moscow and were warmly welcomed. Our flat was on the third floor (lots of stairs) and the private, gated courtyard below us was very... More

A very comfortable and clean hotel with friendlly and helpful staff. In a quiet situation but plenty of small shops and restaurants nearby. Easy reach of undergroud or an easy walk into the centre. A bonus was the 'kichen' in the room with breakfast provided - a good touch. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The hotel staff was extremely polite and willing to fill all your request. Room was renewed, well equipped with a little kitchen and so, so clean. You felt like being home. Hotel is very nicely situated near Metro station and if you come by your own car, there will be a safe place to... More

This is a very cosy little hotel for those who wish to avoid feeling just yet another tourist in a big city. Only a short metro ride or half-hour walk from St Petersburg city centre, a stay at the Austrian Yard is far enough out of town to really give you the feeling that you have been to the "real"...

To make a long story short: The mini-hotel "Austrian Yard" deserves a recommendation, a very good value for money was provided. The hotel is located in a convenient, safe and quiet area close to the Austrian and German embassy. The metro station "Chernyshevskaya" can be reached in only three minutes by foot. Tourist features like Nevskiy Prospekt, Ermitage or Peter&Paul... More

This small out-of-the-way hotel was a wonderful fine. Spotlessly clean and comfortable (though small) room at a bargain price. A generous breakfast was included and the staff handled visa and registration formalities efficiently. The beds were a little small and not up to 4/5 star levels, but were comfortable. The nearby metro stop is a short ride from downtown, and... More

My wife and I stayed at the AY for 8 days in the middle of September. Although it calls itself a hotel, it is really four studios on separate floors. It was a perfect place for travelers like us who planned to stay for extended periods. If you expect to be in SP for a few days or do not... More
