This review is a mixed bag of impressions, both positive and some negative. Let's get the negative out of the way and finish with the good stuff. 1. The bathroom smelled like a sewer, as if a siphon wasn't functioning properly 2. The restaurant is overpriced for the quality of the food and the service Now the good part: 3.... More

The rooms are clean, although the bathrooms are small and the water pressure is weak. The location is fantastic-- it's minute away from Saint Isaac's Cathedral, not too far from Nevsky prospect, the Hermitage/Winter Palace. The breakfast buffet is delicious! You definitely get what you are paying for. More

This is not a five star hotel, but I give them a 5 rating on quality of service and cleanliness. They assisted me with car service to and from airport, and everything else I needed. Great location, within walking distance of the museums and sights of St. Pete. More

Enjoyed the Renaissance, which was a great base to explore several tourist attractions during a brief stay in St. Petersburg. Outstanding location, good service, and typical accommodations for a European Marriott-branded hotel. Would happily stay there again. More

I stayed two nights at the hotel in December 2011. This time of the year is not popular for visiting St. Petersburg and the hotel was not overcrowded as usual.

The Renaissance is conveniently located and a good choice for a visit to the city. It is within walking distance to the Hermitage and many other sites. The hotel is comfortable, has good service and the staff is very helpful. More

Wonderful location with access to key areas of the city, especially to the Hermitage, Nevsky, etc. Warm welcome and genuinely gracious service. I like the personal touch of a wake-up call by a person and the front desk even followed-up to ensure I got up (very dark days at this time of year in SPB). Very nice rooms - furnishings... More

I'm a native of St. Petersburg. Take my word--it's the best location for a hotel. It's in walking distance from major attractions but it's quiet. We really liked our room, it was very clean and comfortable. Great breakfast. The restaurant space is a bit small so it can get crowded during morning rush. But selection was good, including champagne and... More

Recent trip was the 4th visit in two years and every stay has been pleasant and almost trouble free. This time after an horrendous days travel including three delayed flights I arrived at the hotel and they had lost my booking. After 20 mins of confusion, which was now 2am, I eventually got into the room which was (as usual)... More
