Nice rooms put some fairly large issues. It was a relatively warm night, so I opened my window to allow for a breeze. Although I was on the 6th floor, I must have let in dozens of mosquitos. As soon as I noticed 5 minutes later I shut the window again (deciding that stifling heat was better than mosquitos), but it was too late - I was bitten all night long and only slept less than 2 hours because I was so uncomfortable. While I thought this was a totally random experience, at breakfast the next morning a colleague of mine shared the same story! Apparently this is only bad on rooms that are facing towards the sun...

Room service was also a bit of a challenge - for dinner first night it took almost 80 minutes and pre-ordered breakfast the next morning was delivered 40 minutes late - good thing I wasn't counting on a knock at the door to be the thing that woke me up!

Visited the hotel before opening with some of my friends when coming to St. Petersburg last week-end. Looks fantastic, really, and at the same time cozy. Friendly staff - showed us around though they are not operating so far. Promised to open in January (7th January - Russian Christmas). Asked for rates, they offer something at 155€ per night for single room - not bad for 5 stars :)
sorry for the pictures' quality :) they are not of a best quality but at least something )
