I knew that hotels in Sankt Petersburg are expensive and don’t offer the best services. It turned out to be true for this hotel also. Here are some facts I did not like: - The rooms had no opening windows; the view was to an inner court. When we asked for one of our 4 rooms to have a window... more

This hotel is 3 long blocks on Suvorovsky Prospect, off Nevsky Prospect beyond the Moskovsky Station roundabout. It is newly built 3 or 4 years ago, to a very high standard. Rooms are large, nice storage, spacious modern bathrooms, and a chadelier! Half the rooms face the streets and half are facing the central atrium. Staff was very helpful and... more

From the moment I arrived at the hotel, everyone was really friendly, the room was super, with a large bathroom, everything looked very new and the hotel and my room were spotless. The restaurant in the Hotel was very high quality, excellent choice of wines, good, prompt service, and even something for vegetarians, with a special 'lent' menu. You can... more

We stayed at the Grand Emerald between Dec.18-Dec.22, 2006. 126 Euros per night (standard room), including breakfast, and this through Expedia webpage. Best availiable price, I can say that this was worth every single penny. A 5-star at the price of a 3-4 star. And this is the best I can find in St-Petersburg, forget the Astoria, the Angleterre, The... more

Not too much out of the way and there is no problems walking the area in the day, its a... more

The Emerald is really fine especially for a business traveler. The staff speaks English which was a "must have" for me, the room was large and comfortable with a sitting area and a huge bathroom. The breakfast buffet is complete and the service is courteous. On the whole it was a pleasant experience and I would stay here again on... more

Booked this hotel for a 2 night stay - very disappointed. Booked after looking at their website which states its close to main attractions - this is not the case. There is no possible way you could walk to any of the main attractions and would need at least a 10 min cab ride which cost $20 each way -... more
