I stayed at the Nevsky Inn on Kirpichniy Pereulok for almost three weeks in October 2009. As others have said, the entryway is not very inviting, and the trek up the stairs can be tough especially after a day of walking, but it makes what one finds on the 4th floor all the more special. Once inside the hotel, it... more

This is the 3rd time I've stayed here and always appreciate the location and the staff. Just 6 rooms, biut also a nice dining/living area. It is on the 4th floor with no lift, so keep that in mind for handicapped or elderly guests. My colleagues (3 others) also loved this B & B. I'll be back the next time... more

Totally agree with Imgmar53 who wrote the previous review but we didnt experience communication issue with the matron. Yes, she couldnt speak any English but she led us to the communal computer, typed Russian in an online translation website so that we could communicate through computer. It's hard to tell whether the B&B is value for money. I booked through... more

In Aug-Sept ’09 I stayed at the Nevsky Inn for two weeks. It was my first trip to Russian, and I spoke almost no Russian. I was a little anxious about this and my Hotel selection but needn’t have been. You couldn’t find a better location – just a block from Palace Square, The Hermitage, the banks of the Neva,... more

I agree with what Oliver wrote who reviewed earlier--you can't find a better location at this price in St. Petersburg, just off Nevsky Prospect and steps to the Hermitage and other historic sites. I must say, my first impression as I entered #2 location was not optimistic. You enter through a bare metal door off the street into a dark... more

It was my first trip to St. Petersburg and I was quite anxious, whether I had picked a nice hotel, especially since the trip was a birthday gift for my 70-year-old mother. The "main hotel" is situated on (I believe) the 3rd floor, but when I wrote to them asking for a room with easy access (there is no elevator),... more

We booked 3 rooms in the Nevsky Inn during August 2009. The rooms were all great, very clean and pretty spacious. They were all cleaned on a daily basis as well. The outside of the hotel is pretty bleak, especially as there is a construction site just across the street. Once you go through the heavy metal door you then... more

I have been to Saint Petersburg 6 times now, and have stayed here 4 of those times. I absolutely love this hotel. Yes, the rooms are cozy, but for the price, and the location, I can definately live with that. I am not there to stay in my hotel room all day. So, the definate pluses here are the cost,... more

We stayed here for two nights from 5th August 2009. Upon arriving, we were met by a large metal door with the correct number on it but with no obvious way of getting in. We pressed all the keys on the electronic key pad, to no avail, before walking around the back of the building to see if there was... more
