This hotel, formerly knew as Nevsky 22, is comfortable, if you desire to spend your stay in the city centre of Petersburg.
In fact, it takes just a few minutes to get to the Hermitage (what a museum!). What is more, Nevsky Prospect is amazing: this boulevard was built in the 18th century and it is full of Italian and French influence: Saint Petersburg is really the union of two different cultures!
10 Bolshaya Konyushennaya St, 191186 St. Petersburg.

This is a three-star, going on four-star modern hotel, fairly recently built right opposite St Vladimir’s church. From a small foyer, access is via a lift to floors five – seven where the hotel is located above four levels of shops built around an atrium. The rooms are modern, clean and comfortable, the views vary from the atrium itself to the more usual street scenes. The restaurant and top floor bar are both pretty good, but my favourite feature is a multi-language cash machine in the foyer - Dostoevsky would not have approved.
