Very nice people, good complimentary breakfast, but the only English tv stations are a few couple of news channels (for those where tv is important during down time). It could use some renovation, but overall a good experience, but far from the Marriott.

I stayed at this hotel with my 3 year old daughter and everyone was very friendly. The room (203) was spacious and had plenty of storage with good, modern facilities - free wifi was a huge bonus. The metro (mayakovskya) was a few steps away and a good selection of shops and resturants abound. The only negative for me was that the hotel resturant did not have a very wide choice of snacks etc which would appeal to children (spagbol etc) but they did try very hard to accommodate us where possible. It is very quiet which is a surprise as it is so centrally - but without doubt it is the friendly and very helpful staff that make this the ideal place to stay for any purpose!

The hotel was realy nice and espeacilly the very friendly staff was the best in this hotel!

For helpfull staff, Rooms are good, Location excellent. Although on one of the largest street in St. Petersburg you will find piece and quiet in this hotel.
