Good day, everyone. We stayed at this hotel during our tour of the northern capital. The Inn is practically in the heart of the city. You can walk to Nevsky Prospekt and Palace Square. About half a kilometer away is the metro station "Sports" and grocery store. The staff were very kind and welcoming. On the ground floor there are cozy relaxation areas where you can relax on cozy sofas and armchairs. We had a great room! Very large, spacious, clean and cozy. The presence of drinking water bottles, a kettle, a bathrobe and slippers was pleasing. The plumbing is good. Everything worked fine. All the traditional toiletries are in place. The room is spacious, clean and cozy. The beds are very comfortable. The availability of a kettle, tea-making facilities and drinking bottled water was encouraging. The plumbing was working properly. There was no hot water outage. Breakfasts are delicious and varied. We rested in this hotel after a long move and moved on. We really enjoyed staying at this hotel. We recommend it.

We stayed at this hotelfor 3 nights (June 2023) and had a pleasant experience overall. Despite the lobby being on the smaller side, the hotel more than made up for it with its excellent location near the river, which provided beautiful views and convenient access to local attractions.
The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, offering everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Breakfast each morning was good, with a variety of options, although there is something for improvement.
The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. Their warm hospitality truly enhanced our stay.
Overall, we enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend this hotel to other travelers for its great location, comfortable rooms, and wonderful staff.

The bedroom is just a bomb, I’ve never had such a good night’s sleep, the mattress is simply airy, the body doesn’t even get tired after spending a long time in one position, I definitely recognize the manufacturer, and the pillows are just a masterpiece, as if clouds are enveloping you. The room itself is not very sophisticated, but tastefully furnished the style seemed baroque to me. View from the window of the embankment. From the hotel, the metro and other city attractions are within walking distance. In general, everything is super.

Thank you River Palace! Invest in a room with a river view and a balcony. You will get the most beautiful views of the city at sunset. Special thanks for the birthday wishes. While we were enjoying the sunset, room service brought a fruit basket and champagne.

I went on a business trip to St. Petersburg in the spring. Of the many hotels in the city, we decided to stay in this one. We were very pleased. Nice polite staff. The rooms and corridors are very clean. The location of the hotel is good, not too far from the city center. To summarize, the hotel is great; on our next trip to the northern capital, we will definitely check into the River Palace Hotel

The hotel is great, came with my wife, to celebrate the New Year. First time in Peter. The hotel was chosen on the basis of the reviews on potpotpothel - we liked it.

Very high street audibility. Glass packs are failing. You can also hear everything in the hallway. Keep this in mind when booking - this is not a quiet hotel.
They couldn't change the number. I couldn't sleep in this hotel. Bad.

ROOMS: a little bit outdated. Normal size room with spacious bathroom. Comfortable bed, fridge, safe, teapot (tea bags and instant coffee are provided). Very very bad soundproof - you can literally hear your neighbors. There are rooms with a river view. But be ready there is a road in front of the hotel - you can hear a lot of noise from the street as well. LOCATION: 3min walking distance to the metro station, 40min drive from the airport without traffic jams (we’ve arrived at night). There is a grocery shop (24h) next to the hotel. FOOD: restaurant, bar (works till 11pm). Breakfast is very average - food covers only basic needs as in 3 star hotel. FACILITIES: gym, meeting rooms. STAFF: polite and helpful.
