My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, while spacious and nicely furnished, had an odd layout with a dividing wall that affected the natural light. The bathroom was extravagant and large, but the added 'sitting room' felt cramped. The service was friendly but slightly cold at times, especially the individual named Tatiana. The location was excellent, centrally positioned near major attractions and dining options. The dining experience was hit or miss, with good local dishes but somewhat repetitive over multiple days.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had a nice view but were a bit odd with a separate 'sitting room' that made them feel small. The staff at the reception were polite, but unfortunately, they asked us to leave early in the evening. The central location was excellent for sightseeing, but the dining options left much to be desired with minimal choices and canned food.

I had an overall pleasant stay at the hotel. The spacious room with a beautiful river view was a definite highlight, but the isolated feel of the surroundings was a bit of a downside. The service was mostly good, with a couple of standout staff members, yet there were some moments of unwelcoming behavior. The fantastic location made it easy to explore the Hermitage Museum and the city center, although the crowded streets of St Petersburg were a minor drawback. The dining experience was so-so, nothing exceptional, and the facilities were adequate but not outstanding.
