My partner and I stayed at Tradition Hotel on a very hot summers night in St Petersburg. Though our stay was short (one night - we had previously stayed at an airbnb belonging to the hotel proprietors) we nonetheless had a wonderful stay. The room was large and airy, impeccably clean and had an air-conditioning unit, which was very welcome in the heat! The room had bathrobes and slippers for us to use, which was a pleasant surprise - it seems many hotels no longer provide such luxuries! ||As well as being comfortable and well presented, the hotel is located very centrally so makes a great base from which to explore the city. The Neva river is right by the hotel and all central attractions are in walking distance. There are also plenty of river and canal tour boats nearby from which you can discover the city.||I am very glad to have been recommended this hotel and would certainly return to stay here again when I come back to beautiful St Petersburg. Thank you to all the staff who made our stay so comfortable - from Anton and Anna to the lovely lady that was cleaning the next door room, all staff were friendly and helpful and contributed to an enjoyable and memorable holiday in...
Read moreWe stayed here for a long weekend visit to St Petersburg. The concierges had workable English, but other staff didn't. All were friendly and welcoming.
There is a breakfast option which can be pre-booked or requested on arrival. It is a self service buffet system, with no restrictions on what you can eat. I thought the choice was reasonable.
There is free wifi.
It is a reasonable and pleasant walk to attractions such as the world renowned Hermitage art collection Hermitage and other cultural sites. It's worth visiting St Isaacs, Museum for the view from the roof.
Taxi travel by booking through Uber is exceptionally efficient, safe and...
Read moreMolta sostanza poca apparenza. ||L’hotel si trova al pianterreno e al primo piano di questo stabile che a prima vista non promette nulla di buono, anonimo e grigio. Ma il palazzo si trova sul fiume Neva, proprio difronte all’Ermitage e vicino alle cattedrali di San Pietro e Paolo. A San Pietroburgo le distanze sono enormi quindi per attraversare il ponte vi ci vorrà un quanto d’ora ma si tratta di una bella passeggiata e poi, date le distanze, ovunque allogerete sarete distanti da qualche punto di interesse. Oltre l’hotel,dall’altra parte rispetto alla Neva, la zona sembra più insicura ma non ci sono motivi particolare per inoltrarvici, e la metro si trova sulla strada principale a circa 10-15 minuti di cammino.||Gli interni dell’hotel sono curati e molto puliti, la camera grande e confortevole, il letto molto comodo, lenzola bianche, nuove e morbide, bagno pulitissimo, cosa non sempre scontata in altri posti.||Bagno nuovo, arredi di legno, parecchio spazio dove poggiare cose e armadio spazioso, in camera c’è il bollitore per thè e caffè e il wifi è gratis.||Le ragazze che lo gestiscono sono gentili e parlano bene inglese, da non fumatore concordo con la loro intransigenza nel vietare il fumo in ogni area della struttura, ma c’è comunque una piccola saletta per chi volesse. Buona la colazione preparata e presentata con cura.||Non so le camere che danno sulla strada, ma la mia dava sul cortile del palazzo, e sebbene la vista non fosse di alcun interesse, la camera era sempre tranquilla e silenziosa in tutti gli orari del giorno e della notte.||Insomma,...
