Pride — Hotel in округ № 78

OK Let's start up front where you are going to wonder what you have gotten into. There is no front. No fancy reception area, no fancy restaurant, etc... As a matter of fact it is a common entryway with the several story apartment building that shares the front door with this 7 room hotel. A security guard sits in the entry way keeping everyone sorted out and being most helpful to guests with more luggage than anyone had a right to be porting around Russia. Passing the 2nd door into the hotel area you will see that the owner (Andry) has gone top drawer on making things as warm and comfortable for his guests as possible. Rooms were larger than I expected and well appointed, not the Ritz, but not the price either. We were greeted at mid-day with welcoming tea and cake and it was clear our comfort was a main concern of the owner and his one member staff. Water pressure - check, internet - check, continental breakfast + - check and support service that even the Ritz would be hard put to provide.||We had made arrangements for Andry to pick us up at the River cruise port at 1100 and at 1045 he was there. My wife wanted to go out and do the 2 weeks of laundry from cruise 1 while we were on break and Andry not only found a laundry mart for her but drove her there and took her in to assist in getting her started (By the way it isn't self service $15 3 loads done and folded) and went back and picked her up. Drove us to meet friends for dinner and then on the last day drove us out to the main port to catch our cruise 2 back to the US. Now all of this, incl breakfast and the added support and a double room for 2 nights for the price of $155 TOTAL. We were in an off season period and obviously he can't drive 4 different couples around St Petersburg all day, but it does show how accommodating he is when he has the time. He was also able to assist us in getting the invitation letter for the added two days we needed for our visa support documentation, price included in above.||The hotel is located about two blocks from main shopping and 5 blocks from the Hermitage.||All rooms on ground floor, but stairs in entry. Wheelchairs would...

My husband and I stayed at Pride hotel in November, 2014. We wanted to choose something with home-like atmosphere, quiet and cosy, at the same time located in the center close to tourist attractions. We came across this lovely hotel that has only positive reviews. Most people would mention the owner, Andy Catman, who is said to provide the warmest welcome possible. And yes, they were right. ||||Andy gave us a super-warm welcome. He told us lots of cool stuff about St. Petersburg in general, his life and cats (he has lots of cat pictures and souvenirs in the hotel) :) He gives a lot of advice on where to eat, where to hang out and what to see. ||||As for the hotel. It's really quiet (despite the fact it's located in the VERY center), comfy and clean. Breakfasts are quite full and diverse. We really liked that Andy considers every guest's request and serves breakfast at any convenient for us time. We had our last breakfast at 6 am before we left for the airport. That's really nice and unique. ||||Thank you, Andy for the unforgettable stay! Hope we can come back again soon :) ||||Julia...

Different from any other hotel is the wonderful service and personal approach and attention. ( from Andy and personel)||One certainly keeps other visitors in mind to keep a little quiet evening and morning time. What is absolutely no effort, but feels good.||The rooms are basic, but al you need.|Located on ground floor one door behind a guarded small art gallery. Rooms all 6, are on one hallway and the backside of the room with big windows are located on an small private square..so no noices from outside.||The mini hotel feels like a warm embrace. |The location is just a little behind the main shopping street and close to Hermitage as well as most other 'must sees'.||Breakfast also basic, but fresh and nice.|Coffee and tea as much as you like for whole day.||I certainly would like to stay at pride mini hotel again when visiting the wonderful city St...
