One of the best small hotels in St. Petersburgh. Not so cheap, but really unique. Each room differs. Lots of common space for relaxing with sofas, books and fireplace. Nice courtyard. As for minuses, well, the are some. Breakfast is ok, but not very good. Can be better, especially in this city with lots of marvellous food places. Also, for me, very importnat when it is really dark in the room during nightitme. And even if it is designer hotel, I want heavy dark curtains, notably there are 'white nights' in the city. And as for me, it was to dry air in the rooms and one night they've forgotten to put water in the room. But anyway it is reall one of the best, if not to talk about big luxurious hotel chains.
