Business Hotel "Belvedere-Nevsky" — Hotel in Palace District

Pros: |location, absolutely. Rooms are clean, furniture cheap but new. Excellent breakfast. ||Cons: |The hotel is located inside a business centre: there is no lobby, no lobbybar, no rest area. The reception ladies are not trained to be customer-oriented. They seem to be fired from a soviet theatre and hired at this hotel, all of them. Talking to customers as if we are a disturbance to their vacation. Never told me there is a minibar in the room: I never even imagined there was one but they asked if I used it at checkout. Keys get demagnetized, customer is to blaim, of course. Unfriendly attitude in general. Aircon never gets cleaned: you can feel strange odor every time you switch it on. Complained, was told that a technician ''will see it on Monday" but I left on Sunday. Amenities really cheap. Toilet paper: two rolls for three days for two people. Bedside lamp burnt out: complained by email, email receives by reception (they confirmed), never got a reply,...

I do not recommend this hotel. I’ve stayed in many different hotels in St Petersbourg before, and this is one of the worst.|The elevator is not working, the floors make sound at your every step, both in corridors and in the room. The room furniture and curtains are old and dirty; the room air stinks. The shower cabin is very small and the shower itself works only 15 seconds, after that you have to re-push the button again.|It’s VERY loud if your windows go to the B.Konnyshennaya street; parties, honking cars with loud music and street singers are a disaster and will not let you sleep peacefully.|The breakfast is poor. The “hot” meal is cold.|The pluses are: location (right on Nevsky) and friendly staff.|If this hotel didn’t pretend to be a 4* one, I wouldn’t care to write a review, but if you expect a good solid hotel, this one would be a...

From this hotel is only short walk to number major sights of the St. Petersburg like Hermitage Museum, Church of the Savior on Blood, Fabergé Museum, Nevsky Prospect with all those cafes etc. ||The hotel itself was quite small average three star hotel. Outside it was unobtrusive (and there was kind of renovation project going on). Hotel located on the second and third floor of the building.||Some rooms of the hotel was very spacious but smaller ones was normal size rooms. Breakfast was quite standard. ||This hotel was something we expected from three star hotel. Nothing surprising, but it was not a disappointment either. ||One detail. In the room, there was small safety box in the wardrobe. It was totally useless because it was not attached to the wardrobe at all and it would have been easy for the thief to take the whole...
