Best Saint Petersburg Hotels

"I absolutely loved staying at this hotel. From the moment I walked in, the whiteness of the entrance, staircase and reception area was wonderful and it was so clean! The staff was very quick and courteous while checking us in. When we entered our room, it was a delight - spotless, gorgeous cushions and good windows. We were so happy. We had an extra bed added which did make the walking space a little less but since we were out most of the day, it didn't matter. We stayed for 6 days and in that time they responded to all our requests quickly and efficiently. The bathroom was super spacious and we loved the big tub, especially in the winter when you want to have a hot bath! The reception staff was very helpful with directions, booking a taxi, and in addressing all our questions. The breakfast staff was also very helpful and polite. There are 2 negatives I noticed - the breakfast plates were sometimes dirty and i had to request the staff for clean plates. And the shower curtains should be cleaned. Overall its an amazing hotel and we will definitely stay there if we go back to StP. The location is phenomenal, cant get better than this! One tip- breakfast is good but exactly the same every single day, there is nothing new and no change, so if you like some variety, there is a breakfast place opposite. You could go there sometimes. Definitely a highly recommended hotel!"

"Absolutely amazing! I'd recommend this place to everyone! First, the location: it's a 5-minute walk from the Leningrad Hero City Obelisk, very close to the train station and Metro Line 1. Within 500 meters, there are two 'five-star' supermarkets and a Kofevarim (a popular, affordable coffee and bakery chain in St. Petersburg, a must-try!). The entrance isn't easy to find; navigate to 'Nevsky Art Studio.' Go through the hotel's main entrance and walk inside the building, and you'll see a sign. As shown in P1, you can enter from either side of the building; just look for the 'Art Studio' sign. There's security at the entrance, and the elevator requires a key card, so it's very safe. You can store your luggage at the front desk. After checking in, an attendant will guide you upstairs to your room's reception area to swipe your card and open the corresponding locker for your coat and shoes. Disposable slippers are provided, and the common areas are very clean. For a hostel, the room is quite spacious. I could easily open my 28-inch suitcase inside (I recommend a bottom bunk – it's easier to access luggage while sitting). There's a full-length mirror, a three-tier shelf, a tall clothes rack, and two power outlets. One towel is provided. The privacy is excellent, but I imagine it might get a bit stuffy in the summer. The washbasins and toilets are separate and shared by both genders. Shower gel and shampoo are provided, and the facilities are very new. The mirror light is bright, which is great for makeup (^.^). I didn't fully explore the washing machine, but it looks fully functional and has instructions. The communal kitchen is as pictured, but there are only cups, plates, and two knives for utensils. It seems drinking water isn't provided. The refrigerator storage is a nice touch, with each room getting a small allocated box! Also, note that the drying rack is in front of the fridge, so drying personal items might not be ideal. There's an ironing area. The best part: all the staff are incredibly friendly! The front desk staff were smiling throughout, very approachable. After check-in, a staff member guided me upstairs and helped carry my luggage to the room's reception. The attendant at the room's reception was also super nice! Since I couldn't read Russian, I asked about the train station, and she enthusiastically helped me plan the route and gave me important tips. It was so heartwarming that this hostel made me want to stay in St. Petersburg a little longer (ㄒoㄒ) Highly, highly recommend!!!"

"We stayed at Hotel Saint Petersburg and found the location good for visiting the city. Unfortunately, not all of our experiences with the staff were positive: some people – in particular one at the reception and one in the restaurant in the evening – were rather unfriendly with us, perhaps also because we are Italian, and they were not even able to inform us that European Visa and Mastercard cards were blocked due to sanctions. One aspect that definitely needs improvement is cleanliness, both in the rooms and in the restaurant, especially considering this is supposed to be a 4-star hotel. On the positive side, breakfast was very rich and varied, and we would like to sincerely thank the staff members who made our stay more pleasant: the young man preparing omelettes in the morning, two receptionists, and one of the ladies welcoming guests at the restaurant in the morning. All of them were kind, helpful, and professional. Overall, the location, breakfast, and some of the staff deserve a positive mention, although we regret that not all the service and staff lived up to the expectations of a 4-star hotel."

"The room was a bit worn, but the bed linens were clean and of good quality. The towels were also clean and changed promptly or when requested, and slippers were provided. The bathroom was very clean. We liked it."

"Fantastic hotel! It's super close to Moscow railway station, and Nevsky Prospekt is on the same side. The Hermitage, major museums, and cathedrals are all within easy reach, whether you prefer walking, taking a bus, or the metro. The rooms are clean, the bedding is comfortable, and there's plenty of hot water. The front desk staff speak excellent English, which made communication smooth. The restaurant on the first floor offers a 10% discount for guests, and it's mostly Western cuisine with good food. A really great base for exploring St. Petersburg! 👍"

"Oтель удобный по своему расположению, на небольшой срок проживания. Номера очень маленькие. Радуют своей чистотой. Телевизор, чайник, 2 кружки, холодильник, стол, 1 стул😄. Матрас мягкий, белье и полотенца белые-хорошего качества."

"I forgot to take pictures of the room, but it was essentially a one-bedroom apartment with a living room, kitchen, and bathroom. It was very spacious, equipped with a fridge, washing machine, dining table, and a large sofa. Daily housekeeping was provided. It was perfect for someone who likes to prepare simple meals, truly feeling like a temporary home in St. Petersburg. The hallways were adorned with many oil paintings, and the staff were highly professional with excellent English. Luggage storage was also available. Since it was late March, early spring, the price was very reasonable, around 300 RMB per night. However, I chatted with one of the staff members, and he mentioned that during peak season, the price can be more than triple that – so I really lucked out!"

"This is the kind of hotel where the reality is even better than the advertised photos. A true British hotel in the heart of Russia's cultural capital. Chic English interiors, excellent staff, and state-of-the-art technology. Rooms with excellent central air conditioning. Views from the windows onto one of St. Petersburg's most beautiful streets. Excellent value for money!"

"I stayed at the Crown Hotel for three weeks, and it was an excellent experience. The service was outstanding—the staff were always happy, friendly, and ready to help with anything I needed. The room was very nice and clean, with plenty of space. The bathroom was excellent as well, and most importantly, it had a shattaf, which made my stay even more comfortable. The location is perfect: just a 5-minute walk from Nevsky Street and only a minute from both the metro and the railway station. I truly enjoyed my stay and will definitely stay at the Crown Hotel again when I return to Saint Petersburg."

"1. The front desk staff spoke a little English, enough for basic communication. The cleaning staff were excellent, knocking on our door promptly at 2 PM every day to clean and change the sheets. 2. The room was spacious and well-ventilated, though the window only opened about a third of the way. 3. It also had a kitchen with an induction hob, a wok, a saucepan, four plates, two small dishes, and one bowl. However, if you're planning a longer stay and intend to cook, I'd recommend buying your own kitchen knife; the one provided was incredibly dull 😅😅. The soundproofing was also very good, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. 4. Overall, this was the best room I stayed in during my month in Russia, and the price was right, at around 200 RMB per night. 5. The main downside was that the Frunze metro station, which is close to the hotel, was closed. This meant a 15-minute walk to another metro station. My advice for getting around is to walk to your destination and then take a taxi back, which usually costs between 120 and 300 rubles, or you could also use a shared scooter by scanning a QR code. 😄"
