Directly in the city centre, minutes of walk to the museums, surrounded by numerous restaurants and markets, locationwise it's perfect. The rates are good too. There are 2 sets of elevators, leading to different part of the hotel, location on the 2 sides of the horseshoe reception. If you go in the wrong elevator, you might end up walking 3-4... more

This is good hotel and a nice place to stay for visiting St Petersburg. Firstly it is within easy walking distance of all the main sites, avoiding the need to take taxis, buses or the metro. Nevsky Propsect is 5 minutes walk as is St Isaacs Cathedral. The Hermitage, Winter Palace and River Neva is about 10 minutes, and the... more

I had read many reviews before proceeding to book our 4 nights at Petro Palace through an Opodo hotel & flight package which included our BA flight from Heathrow. The price was for a standard room - we were given a rather dark room on the 3rd flr facing the back - no view and quite a meander along narrow... more

Been there for some days. Reception desk staff quiet annoied when you ask something, concierge staff good service. The room itself it's very big but totally unpersonal, avoid the breakfast. Location is perfect, near to the main attraction in the core of St Petersburg, next to the all main attraction, 2 minutes to the Nevski Prospect. Catching the public buses,... more

This hotel was a great find through expedia at $150/night. The staff was friendly and spoke English, and the hotel was set up perfectly for the american tourist. A tour-concierge could put together any tour you wanted through the hotel. Our tour of the city included a guide for two people in a hotel car for four hours for only... more

I thought when we paid more for a St. Petersburg hotel than a Moscow hotel, we'd have a good place. The Petro Palace was adequate, clean and met all the basic needs but nothing more than that. more

Just came back from a week at this hotel. The location and price (for a 4 star hotel) could not be beat. They had an internet rate for the standard room of 150 euro which was well below the price of other 4 and 5 star hotels (i.e., Corinthia was over 500 euro). The room was neat and clean and... more

I booked this hotel through Expedia and it strikes me that if you go through a third party like this, you get one of the hotel's basic rooms, not one of the nice looking rooms in the original part of the building - those are the ones featured on the website, not surprisingly. The room was clean, the bathroom was... more

Staff very helpful, the hotel is a little on the pricey side as the rooms are not 100%, but they are good, I'd rate the standard room at around 75%. Perfect for walking around the city, everything is on your doorstep. My fiancee and I had a wonderful time more
