Club Hotel Agni — Hotel in Литейный округ

A group of 8 friends decided to do the Helsinki-St Petersburg cruise to visit Russia visa-free. This hotel was one of the options that was on the affordable end of things. ||||What you should know:||LOCATION-This is well-located on Nevsky Prospekt. A quick walk to a metro station gives you access to all of St Petersburg. There are plenty of restaurants, shops, and even a grocery store within short walking distances. We did the 3 hour tour off of the cruise which dropped us off at the Hermitage. We walked from there to the hotel and that took us about 45 minutes with all of our suitcases/backpacks. Recommended? Probably not, but it was a nice day for it. ||||CHECK-IN: Quick, friendly, and they spoke English well. They offered a note to purchase in case we were stopped by the police for being in Russia on the visa-free tour. We all bought it and picked it up in the morning. Did we need it? Nope. But better safe than sorry. It was cheap enough where it didn't matter (about $5 US if that). Reception is one floor up from street level. The elevator is European sized. ||||THE ROOM: Beautiful tall ceilings were the first thing we noticed then the extra tall windows. The room was pleasantly sized with a desk and bathtub. Views of the side street for us and windows opened for fresh air (and closed which shut out most of the street noise). The room got dark enough to sleep, the bed was good, the pillows were skimped on unfortunately, but the water pressure was good. ||||INCLUDED BREAKFAST BUFFET: Enough options to keep it interesting. Everything was fresh. ||||CONCLUSION: Value for money. It's not a high end hotel, but what it does, it does well. We would all stay in this...

In the hotel card they wrote "come as guest, leave as freind" and that's exactly what happen to me. I liked Everything in this hotel, its rooms may not be large but it is well arranged, fridge, safe box , free tea and coffee at third floor 24/7. Breakfast was good and varied. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The location is amazing in the Nevsky Av. near the Metro, train station and bus stops and many major attractions are within walking distance from you. The cleaning of this hotel is great, you will back and see everything were cleaned. The most important thing for me is the nice gesture from the administration when they knew we are newly married couple and saw we were going to do photo session they sent us nice letter with free bottle of Champagne. I really liked...
