AKYAN St. Petersburg hotel is located in the heart of Saint Petersburg, in the historical and business center of the city, 19 Vosstaniya st. in an old mansion built in 1904-1906, which is often called the "house of the angel": the rounded corner of the building is crowned with a gable depicting a sad winged female figure with a nimbus in the form of a celestial sphere with signs of the zodiac. Today, this house is ranked in the Top-10 of the most beautiful and famous apartment buildings in St. Petersburg. The bright exterior of the hotel building attracted attention from the very beginning. The unique exterior is decorated with majolica (which made the "house of the angel" one of the first in Russia to be decorated in this way), and the overall appearance is completed with a gable depicting a winged female figure. The mansion was appreciated by its contemporaries and in 1907 was awarded a silver medal at the city competition of facades. In 2009, the building was included in the Unified state register of cultural heritage objects of the peoples of the Russian Federation. Since the very beginning, it has been a tenement house. The traditions of hospitality and the unique spirit of old Petersburg are carefully preserved today. Developed infrastructure offers our guests a huge choice for an interesting pastime. Leisure is provided by two shopping complexes - "Gallery "and" Nevsky Center", and transport needs are provided by the proximity of Nevsky Prospekt, two Central metro stations - " Mayakovskaya "and" Ploshchad Vosstaniya", as well as the Moscow railway station. Those, who prefer sideseeing, will surely appreciate the location of the hotel: a 5 minute walk from the main street of the city-Nevsky Prospekt and just 20 minutes from the Palace Square. Museums, theaters, restaurants, cafes, creative spaces and concert halls are all located near the Hotel AKYAN St.Petersburg. The hotel occupies all 6 floors of the building, guests are greeted by friendly reception staff, and the lobby has a designer Elevator, designed in the same style as the building. Cozy and elegant decoration of the rooms is made in the style of St. Petersburg Art Nouveau. Bright colors in the design, comfortable furniture and modern appliances are great for a wonderful holiday. Beds with anatomical mattresses will help you get a good night's sleep and restore your strength. Rooms are equipped with electronic locks and double-glazed windows with noise insulation. Each room has wardrobes and safes for storing personal belongings, HD-TVs with satellite TV, mini-bars, bathrobes, Slippers, towels, hair dryers and makeup mirrors, cosmetic kits, air conditioning and heating, Wi-Fi, telephone with direct long-distance and international access. Bottled welcom-water is replenished daily in all rooms.

Detailed Reviews
The hotel is located 1 block away from Nevskiy prospect, it takes about 10 minutes or less by walk to get to this main street of St Petersburg. The price is more than good in my opinion, but this is what you have to decide for yourself. Quite adequate fresh breakfast, if it is not included in the room price it is about $10 per person (and it is not just Continental). The minibar in the room is (as everywhere) "somewhat" overpriced but I do not even consider this as a problem. VERY clean rooms. Right next door to this hotel is a very nice restaurant, the Check style beerhouse with nice foods an all this, but one should better make a reservation there and to start before 21:00 o'clock, I believe.
I stayed in this hotel twice with several years in between, and the second time was not disappointing at all. In general - yes, I would certainly recommend this hotel if you are traveling for either sightseeing or for business purposes.

The hotel is very good and we did enjoy our stay.
However some things can be improved:
1. You can request a tea cattle but it comes without tea bags. You can purchase tea or coffee in the restaurant however it would be a nice gesture to leave some tea bags or instant coffee in the room. Costs nothing to be nice!
2. Sound isolation is not 100% working: we requested a quite room which means we got a yard view, no street noise but we got the construction noises. Also you still can hear noises from upstairs and corridor.

1) gentlemen, excuse me, but there must be a forced exhaust in the bathroom. what has been done now is profanation, it does not fulfill its purpose
2) universal el. sockets for all types of plugs, including American ones - probably installed so that some lost American tourist would burn his laptop through them, or some other equipment that, let me remind you, is powered by 110 volts. and our plugs in such sockets dangle, the contact is poor, there is even sparking sometimes.
3) restaurant - the food itself is delicious, but putting small portions on giant plates does not make you a fine dining restaurant. increase the portions of dishes by one and a half times, especially for appetizers, use dishes adequate to the portions and the restaurant will be excellent. Now it’s better to go to any restaurant near the hotel.
4) in a room with a balcony, it’s time to paint the balcony doors and windows. vintage is good, but not that good
5) wifi constantly sags, especially in the evening, it becomes impossible to use, obviously the load is not taken into account. Mobile Internet works well
6) I liked: the breakfasts, the food itself and the organization; room cleaning; furniture and furnishings are relatively new and in good condition

I have stayed at this hotel for 17 days and honestly God it's an amazing one for the price and the quality we paid for. Centrally located on a quite Vostanya street. The room 328 was amazing and the amentias are top. Breakfast is very good with a variety of everything from coffee to Eclairs. Workers were soo friendly and helpful anywhere; Biggest kudos go to the cleaning ladies who do such an amazing job with a smile on their face.
Highly recommending if you are looking for hotels in St Petersburg. Thank you so much Akyan and looking forward to seeing you in the future.

I have stayed at this hotel many times, but this time was definitely the last. On my birthday, March 4, 2024, my friends sent me flowers, they lay all day at the reception without water, because I was not at the hotel, and when I returned, the hotel staff rudely explained to me that they were not obliged to put flowers in water, it was necessary to warn them. Birthday? Surprises? Service? They don’t know such words here. In normal hotels they put flowers in a vase and take them to the room or contact the guest and ask what to do with the flowers, but not in Akyan. They dried 2 bouquets for me, and when I entered the room, I found a dried cake on the table, which I was afraid to eat, apparently, this was the hotel’s way of congratulating me on my birthday and giving me a compliment. It remains to add that customer focus is not the hotel’s strong point; there are no such problems in Angleterre and Astoria. It was also very cold in the room and the pillows were very uncomfortable.

Very inflexible reservation service. I was only going to arrive for four hours and I was denied free early entry, even though there were hotels available. I always stay in this hotel and now I'm very disappointed. Apparently, I'll find myself another hotel with staff who value regulars. Too bad I liked Akyan...

Great location, Nevsky prospect just in short walking distance, numerous possibilities of food if you don´t eat in hotel´s restaurant ( very good food). The room was spacious, very clean , towels changed every day, welcome water filled regulary, really softest pillow I had ( from LA to Tokyo). Kudos to the hotel´s barkeeper Astrid who was actually only person who spoke english fluently. I chose the hotel because it was written that reception personel speaking different languages which is not the case. I understand russian a bit being slavic person by myself, otherwise I would do harder. Improvment in this field would be appreciated as service at the restaurant as well. Working in a hotel, restaurant by myself it was just very dissapointing to sit there, seing service running into the kitchen in and out not even greeting you or bring you menu , not talking about my New Years dissaster dinner. I will return if in the city again because the hotel was great but would organize myself better online not needing any help ( or improve my russian language, lol )

This is not the first time at the hotel. Why Akyan?
The question is not in logistics, the physical condition of the object, or the historical component, but in the atmosphere into which you are immersed upon arrival.
The hospitality and responsiveness of the reception staff is captivating. You can feel the high professionalism and qualifications of the management of the reception service, which creates a special aura of trust, a feeling that you are welcome and ready to arrange your stay at the hotel to the highest standards.
The hotel is developing and improving, which is noticeable and pleasant.
I recommend visiting.

This is not a hotel, this is an inn. Stopped for work. 3 days of inconvenience. WiFi is intermittent. There is no kettle, you have to ask 3 times to have it delivered to your room. You need to call separately to have the mug delivered)) and separately to have the toothpaste delivered. and remind you once again that you need hair conditioner. Breakfast for 3.

We also used an online agency to get our invitations. You just pay for it online and and they email it to you instantly. Unfortunately I am unable to include the web address as it against the trip adviser policy (it wouldn't let me post it).
My husband and I planned our whole trip to Russia ourselves and we had a wonderful time. Russian people are so helpful. We flew from Australia to Moscow and took the train up to St Petersberg. We stayed in the same hotel you are staying in St Petersberg. It is lovely.
Dear Tam, thank You for Your question.
Laundry service in our hotel is in aditional payment only, and it is not self-service. All information You can get at the reseption.
