We visited St. Petersburg at the end of April for close to a week, and were surprised at the beautiful look and feel of the city and its numerous well-preserved buildings and churches. This hotel is well situated, overlooking St. Isaac's Cathedral and only a short walk from other major sites, such as the Hermitage Museum and the Miriinsky Theatre.... More

This hotel has the best location.Rooms are nice, newly refurbished. We stayed in Junior Suite with superb view on St.Isaac's square. Breakfast was good. Astoria Cafe, hotel restaurant, is sooo nice. Kind of modern Russian cusine. Hotel bar, even is the smoking place, has a nice ambience, good drinks. We were very happy with our stay. St.Petersurg is just so... More

This hotel has a lot going for it. The central location is excellent, our room was freshly renovated and had well sealed double windows to block out noise but that could be opened, and the perks were nice. We had copious bottles of water always replenished, a coffee machine and tea kettle (with excellent teas provided), a welcome gift upon... More

Stayed for three days in St Petersburg at the Astoria. It is in the perfect location - from the moment you arrive you immediately soak in the atmosphere of this remarkable town. It is easy to walk everywhere but it is also fun just to sit having tea at the hotel watching the square and St Isaac's outside. Our room... More

I stayed in the hotel several times over the course of a month or so when working locally. It really is a top class hotel, with services to match. Location is excellent, a few minute's walk from Nevskiy Prospect and the history of the hotel, and of the famous guests, is impressive. Well worth a visit.

A perfect place for discerning and demanding traveller yet reasonably priced. Fabulous food, outstanding courteous service everywhere, style, comfort. Special thanks to fabulous Lidia Leontieva, Astoria's Director of Guest Relation who for making us all (a group of 15) to feel at home, her attention to details and to each of her guest is truly remarkable, she treats everybody like...

I stayed here for five nights in April and the standard of service was outstanding. It seems almost unfair to single out any particular group but I have to say that I have never encountered a concierge desk such as that in the Astoria. All the staff were terrific - booking tours, restaurants, the Mariinski etc. The hotel is located... More

Unfortunately just in the past. Astoria reminds me a broken creaking wagon, drawn by the old blind horses that pull it in different directions. Maybe it will split in parts soon. What can save this hotel? Very sad impression...

Loved the location across from St. Isaac's and the trolley/metro stops are just a few minutes away. The property is spotless and gorgeous. I arrived on the early train from Moscow (Grand Express = awesome!) and was allowed to check in around 9:30 am. Presumably because it was the low season, I got an upgrade to the 7th floor/spa level... More
