It is a truly 5* (not always tough reality match the official rating) Situated in the heart of the city, the hotel is located on Nevsky Prospect, the main street of St Petersburg. Not far from the major city attractions (25min walk from Hermitage, 20 min from the Spilled Blood Church or the Marinsky Teather). Elegant, stylish, classy in an... more

The SAS Radisson Royal is located on busy Nevsky Prospect in the heart of the city, and is relatively close to major attractions, although some require a bit of a walk or the use of transport. The Metro is about 1 block from the hotel. Rooms are pretty standard "western" hotel rooms, and are clean, with all the standard amenities.... more

Because of an economic conference, this was the only place I could get into. I was very nervous having read the reviews, but it was the only place that could take us. But it was amazing! Clean, polite, not nickeled and dimed for water, safes, internet access, extra pillows, etc. I know good hotels (Four Seasons, Peninsula, Mandarin Oriental, etc.)... more

I stayed there regularly from 2003 to 2007 and had a wonderful opportunity to observe the deterioration of the hotel's service. It started from minor stuff like roommaid failing to clean or room service jamming orders. It grew over time to include more problems and failures. My last stay with them was some sort of 'achievement' in hospitality: 1) They... more

The Radisson is an excellent hotel. We stayed in a business class room which was very spacious with all the extras that make a hotel stay comfortable and relaxing. Sightseeing in St. Petersbourg is hectic and we looked forward to returning to the Radisson. The hotel staff were courteous and professional. The location of the hotel is good although you... more

We stayed during a heatwave, so found the distance from the hotel to the main sights a bit of a chore. However, all buses go up and down Nevskiy Prospect to the centre, and are cheap, although they can't go very fast because of the traffic. The hotel is OK 3 star, with small and pretty basic public areas, and... more

This pricey Radisson is located perfectly for the traveler in St. Petersburg, Russia. It's on the main street and you can walk everywhere from this location. Free Internet terminal downstairs so you can skip lugging your computer with you. My room was on the 6th floor and had a skylight view which was fabulous. My friends' rooms didn't. The room... more

I was able to stay at this hotel on short notice during a very busy schedule. Their staff is very friendly, the hotel is clean, their breakfast buffet is very good and the location is fantastic. I would not eat dinner at their restaurant "Barbizon". It is a far cry from decent and the prices are ridiculously high. Judging by... more

Our travel agent selected the Raddison SAS Royal Hotel for us, and I was impressed by its location on the Nevsky Prospect (more on this in a moment). The hotel was extremely efficient in sending us the necessary paperwork to finalise our Russian visa application. When we arrived, we were met by friendly staff --- particularly Elena Donchenko, the Front... more
