Meridian — Hotel in Palace District

We have booked this property for business trip and should acknowledge that the place is indeed the best thing at this property. However, would not reccomend it for single travelers and especially woman. The lock of the dor was very poor - there was always somebody trying to get it or knocking to my door. Drunk man voices in the corridor didn't make me feel safe as the door can be opened with stronger push. ||It was warm in the room and no air co - and there was only around 20 degrees outside.||The noise of the toilet or douche was amazing :D you could hear the flush from all rooms around.||Breakfast is very poor and you need to walk around 500m for it - it is in the neighbourhood bar.||And finally.. when my earplugs have fallen I have seen that this place is dirty as well.||I have cancelled the booking for the rest of the stay as one night was enough to see that it is far below my expectations.||However, there were some positive points - like wifi and staff. Staff was pretty friendly and for people who expect to live in hostel it should be fine stay. I would not consider this Hotel as 3...

Great location - a 15-minute walk to the Hermitage and just 300 meters from Nevsky Avenue with nightlife and metro access. Spotlessly clean. Very comfortable beds. Quiet. Excellent staff. For $60 Canadian a night, in the heart of old St. Petersburg, this is very good. However, there is no elevator and if your room is on the third floor you will have to lug your baggage up 63 stairs (yes, I counted). Staff were helpful and speak some English. Their website shows pictures of bathrobes, but there were none in our room and we didn't care. There were slippers, however, as well as a hair dryer and a small refrigerator that is on the floor and therefore required a bit of a reach to get at stuff in the back of. It should be on a piece of furniture to raise it up. The hotel is across form Malaya Sadovaya Street - a pedestrian-only area of shops and restaurants including a 24-hour market (downstairs, on the east side, mid-block -...

The only good thing in this hotel is the location. Very small rooms, smell of canalization in the toilet and no soundproof at all. When we did arrive it appears that there is no safety box in our room. The receptionist immediately got the brilliant idea: instead of offering us some other room he simply brought the new safety box and told us that we can use it as is, no need in attaching the box to the wall. At night the fire alarm started to work. Hopefully it was the false alarm, and the reason was the failure of smoke sensors. Maybe next time there will be undetected event. Next night somebody was screaming half night and as it was mentioned above there is no soundproof at all. All in all, it was one of the worst experience of staying in a hotel in my life. I guess there are tens of hotels in downtown with the same prices that can provide...
