AAnonymous UserPros: Excellent value. Very close to the train station, convenient for those traveling in and out of Moscow. Nevsky Prospekt and the metro station are both very close, and the Bull Restaurant is just over a 10-minute walk away. I bought a three-day St. Petersburg pass, which made bus and metro travel very convenient. The hotel was very clean, with a bar on the first floor offering free snacks. The breakfast was excellent, with hot dishes suitable for Chinese palates. The family rooms also had kitchenware, allowing for cooking vegetables. The staff were also very friendly, and the front desk spoke English. On my last day, I had to catch a train and had breakfast at 7:30, which they readily agreed to.
Cons: The hotel is difficult to find. After exiting the train station, go past two traffic lights and into a small alley, turn right. There's a bakery on the corner, next to a bank. There's a small white door (see the third picture, the small door next to the green shop). Ring the doorbell and go up to the second floor to check in. The hotel is a converted old building, so there's no elevator.
