Metropolis Hotel — Hotel in округ № 78

We had the 'crime and punishment' room with a sideways view towards the winter palace. Really nice room which was very new. Bed was comfy and there were two English TV channels. ||||The hotel is located right near the Winter Palace and within easy walking distance to the Chuch of the Spilled Blood, St Isaccs and the Metro. ||||I am giving four stars only as our AC didn't work one of the nights and the room was warm. I asked the front desk person to have a look at it and when we returned she told me it wasn't fixed. I am not sure she had informed the owners of the problem. She advised that we would have to stay in the room again at which point I asked to speak to the owner. The owner was apologetic and moved us right away. We were in the 'nose' room for one night and then went back to our normal room. All in all not the end of the world, but an entire day should have been enough to get the problem resolved. ||||There is an elevator to the hotel but as it is small this hotel is not suitable for someone with mobility issues. ||||The owners could make the hotel more comfortable by having four pillows in the bed and getting better toilet paper. ||||Would stay again if I was...

The location of Metropolis Hotel can’t be any more perfect – Hermitage/Winter Palace are located just across the street; Kazan Cathedral is down the road and opposite of that is the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood; St Isaac's Cathedral is a couple of blocks behind the hotel; and restaurants all around, as well as a supermarket. ||||I stayed in the Pushkin room which was clean, modern and spacious. I loved the shower which allows you to set a constant temperature. Would have liked a luggage rack and a full-length mirror in the room, but other than that, everything else was perfect. ||||Staff spoke good English and was reasonably friendly and helpful. There was a bit of street noise but I wasn't too bothered. Oh, I also appreciated the small, ancient lift. My hotel in Moscow was also on the 4th floor but without a lift and it can get very tiresome having to go up and down 4 floors sometimes just to retrieve something...

Lets give them all a tums up for the time I was staying there almost 8 nights ( November 2019). That was perfect! Basically the location is 5-star you can get to the places u must go just by walking, can u imagine Hermitage is just around the corner! 2 minutes walk. The building I loved it, u can feel the uniqueness and the old classy russian vibe just few moments after u get in. All receptions were always ready to serve at anytime, they were really helpful. The breakfast was on-time, well prepared and tasty. What can I say more? I Would highly recommend them and definitely go back to...
