It is a little hard to find as the entrance is thru a vehicle arch in a building that was under renovation. Another hotel of the same owner is accross the road. The room was small for a double but everything worked was clean and new. Although the construction workmanship was a little scrappy. Breakfast was suitable but not lavish... more

Very friendly staff, great continental breakfast, free internet and very centralized. I could walk to all the main attractions like the Hermitage Museum, St. Isaac Cathedral, Church on Spilled Blood and much more. The Hotel was quite clean, that would include the bathroom and bed linens. The carpet as well the bedspread could really do some cleaning! I was afraid... more

Dirty courtyard, unprofessional staff, harassing manager. Refused to refund me when I wanted to leave immideately. Steep and uneven stairs, no elevator. Dirty stairwell. First, was offered a room size of a jail cell - literally. Later, was given "DELUX SUITE" - it was a joke. No clock, no radio, no coffee maker, no drinking water. Dirty rugs, swarms of... more

Prior to booking, I found out about this hotel by using both Trip Advisor/Frommer's Moscow & St. Petersburg. I booked this hotel through American Express and got a good rate as well as free breakfast from the Nevsky Grand (a higher end hotel that is part of the Nevsky group), which is literally across the street, as part of my... more

I bought a week stay on the internet and didnt pay that much and was very satisfied. I was with my girlfriend on the famous fourth floor, which is really very calm and nice. The rooms there are much bigger. On the other hand, they dont have wireless internet. The only thing I could have wished is that the boy... more

Firstly the hotel wouldnt accept that I'd paid a deposit which I am now chasing with the agent. The room was a "double" but it was probably smaller than any single room I'd ever stayed in - could virtually touch both walls. The hotel was really noisy - buzzer system which goes all night The breakfast is listed as being... more

Nevsky Aster is in a great location, easy walk to the Hermitage. Its a smallish hotel, on the second (1st) floor, it is off the road so its pretty quiet. We had a fairly small room, but some of the others were bigger. Bathroom was new & kept clean. Good selection at breakfast - cheese, cold meat, yoghourt, juice, cereals,... more

We honestly had a wonderful experience. Some of the reviews we read were alarming but we found the answer! The Aster Hotel is one of a group and when we expressed concern about the size of our room they unhesitatingly transferred us to the DeLuxe Hotel just down the road where we enjoyed a very pleasant sitting room with a... more

I was staying at Aster for one week in dec 2007, and found it to be convinient but nothing more. I was placed on the famous forth floor, which required walking up four floors in a staircase that was under construction. The room itself was for a woman travelling alone very spacious, but unfortunately ice cold. The problem seemed to... more
