Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were a bit hot and located next to the housekeeping office but had proper acoustic insulation, making it easy to sleep. On the bright side, my room on the 9th floor offered an excellent view of the city, including the impressive dome of St Isaac's Cathedral.

The hotel's rooms aren't very modern but always clean and tidy, being heated rather too well making it impossible to go below 20 C in winter, featuring a double bed with two single duvets. The service was exceptional, especially from the Concierges, Svetlana and Olga, who went above and beyond to assist with various needs.
