This hotel is fantastic! You have buildings inside buildings here! You get restaurants, bars, a lobby with fireplaces, one out of the only 5 restaurants in the world that offer dining in the darkness (your taste and smell senses are stronger cause sight is removed), waiters are serving you with night vision goggles. Also this place has "the best" spa center in the city of Saint Petersburg making it such a great place you might end up not going out at all. The breakfast is really good, it caters food of any sort from Russian and western continental. Don't forget sparkly wine is served at breakfast for free which makes it more exclusive than ever.
I hardly ever give 5 stars, it really has to be a great place. This one deserves it.
2 negative notes that still din't make it go down to a 4 star rating:
The waiters look extremely exhausted and unhappy. At least some of them. The beds are a bit uncomfortable and the blankets are single blankets, so if you're a big person you might end up uncovering yourself in your sleep.
Toiletries are fantastic, view is outstanding if you're lucky to get the river side. Lobby is outstanding, reception could be better they make you wait on some occasions I've been put on hold twice both times I called.
Location is great, 15 minutes walk from the winter Palace.
Super recommended, the spa is included in the stay....

Read moreA very good hotel, service is excellent we stayed for 2 night during FIFA World cup time. Location on the vasilievski island is a bit away from main tourist sites but walkable. Concierge to room service all were polite and gave excellent service. Rooms are very modern and clean, good beds with clean linens, modern designed bathroom with everything functioning. Elevators with security card access to only your floor.
Spa is a must go. It has 5 different types of Saunas yeah five!! Russian, Finnish, Turkish, Roman, Cave and cold (snow/freeze) room, a cold 10 degree centigrade dip pool. Warm water dip tub. Cold water bucket flop shower. Hot and cold shower with light therapy The pool has water jets massage and 2 Jacuzzi's in the corners. No slides for children, but enough fun for them, although they are restricted from the pool after 6:30pm (under 12) , so take them in first thing in the morning and then enjoy the scrumptuous breakfast afterwards Breakfast table service was excellent, promptly supplying tea or coffee on arriving at the table and clearing out the used plates. The choices are plenty for every taste....
