stayed her from march 25-march30, 2008 . room 201, the whole floor is non-smoking our rooms were beautiful with nice views of the cathedral of the spilled blood and the russian museum. Buffet breakfast was good. room service was good. The restaurants at the hotel were dead (we were off season....) so we preferred to eat in our room twice.... more

I really don't know what hotel the other reviewers stayed at, but it couldn't possibly have been the Grand Hotel Europe. The self-proclaimed opulence of the hotel simply isn't translated into reality. The building is shabby and cheaply renovated though grand - feeling very communist in its atmosphere. The staff too, feel vaguely Soviet - their training promoting a vague... more

We stayed at the Grand Hotel Europe for 3 nights at the end of January. Our reaction as we walked through the doors was 'WOW' and that was the case throughout our stay. From the moment we arrived to the minute we left everything was perfect. The trip was for my husbands birthday and upon arrival virtually every member of... more

This really was a fantastic way base from which to explore St Petersburg, one of the most comfortable and friendly hotels I have ever stayed in. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and the room was great, with fresh fruit and Chilean wine waiting for us. When we celebrated with a birthday dinner in the dining room, we... more

i have been in St. Petersburg a number of times for business. It is a great city with a paucity of great hotels. The Grand Europa is great though a bit snooty. It is well situated in the city and an easy walk to the Hermitage, Church of the Spilled Blood, the canals and the good restaurants along the main... more

We stayed at the Grand Hotel Europe for 5 nights over New Year, the hotel is very grand and traditional, there's a great sweeping staircase taking you up to the first floor. We stayed in an historic room on the first floor, although the room was not up to the five star standards of other 5* hotels we have stayed... more

Grand Hotel Europe is, from my perspective, one of the best hotel in the world. Decor is fanstastic, room are comfortable, staff is devoted, breakfeast is fabulous and, the location is perfect. It is an expensive hotel but, if you are off season, it became a « must ». On a different note, in my last stay, I have hired... more

Stayed at the Grand Hotel Europe in December, 2004 and it is very grand for Russia. It has the best location for tourists of all the hotels in St. Petersburg. Hotel room was clean and well kept daily by the housekeeping staff. Gym was adequate for my stay. No pool but a small jacuzzi which I did not use. The... more

My last stay here was 3 yrs ago andnow with the hotel rooms re-modeled, it was just simply perfect! The only complaint I have about our suite which was beautifully decorated, by the way, is that the bathroom and closets were by the door. So we had to go thru the LR to dress etc. The walk in closet, while... more
