Secret gem in St Petersburg
Alexander House was beautifully located for our post river cruise extended stay in St Petersburg. We enjoyed being in a quieter part of the city, but close to smaller canals and within walking distance of the Neva embankment and the Mariinsky Theatre. The 181 and 49 buses also took us right to Nevsky. Our room and bathroom were spacious and comfortable with interesting modern art. The choice of food at breakfast was excellent including traditional Russian savory and sweet pastries and other dishes. We also loved the quiet courtyard garden where we were able to meet friends for coffee.

A gem of a hotel in a brilliantly beautiful city
I've traveled the world since 1978 for business and pleasure. Even though it's a small hotel, for me it ranks right in the top tier. The rooms are large, comfortable and functional. Breakfast caters to any taste or dietary requirements. They will prepare any meal off of their excellent dinner menu 24/7. Most importantly, the staff are all charming and efficient. Alexander House is situated along a quiet canal, with the only drawback being a long walk into the center of the city. I can recommend this hotel without reservation!

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.

Excellent stay
Alexander House Boutique Hotel is a reconstructed 19th century building with 20 different rooms - all named after famous cities. We stayed in Barcelona room for a week. It is a 2-bedroom apartment with a small kitchenette. The hotel is not centrally located but the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. It is very near St Nicholas Naval Cathedral and it is walkable to Mariinsky Theatre, Central Naval Museum and Yusupov Palace. The hotel exuded a warm and homely feeling and the reception staff gave us a very welcoming service. We felt right at home immediately. The Barcelona 2-bedroom apartment was beautiful, clean and spacious - the kind that you would love staying the whole day in. It was decorated with a Spanish theme - decorative Don Quixote ceramic plates and bull fighting paintings. The 4 of us shared a single bathroom which meant it took a bit longer before we could all be ready to venture out. The good point was the heated floor of the bathroom. The small kitchenette came equipped with basic cooking utensils. The hotel restaurant served good dinner and I especially liked the baked seabass. It was an enjoyable and comfortable stay. The staff was a real credit to the hotel - ever helpful, friendly and spoke good English. Although it was a big far from the city centre, moving around for the 4 of us was not a problem because we used car hailing app. Although Uber was not the preferred choice in Russia, it was enough to get our transport easily and cheaply.

Great choice of hotel
Excellent service from very helpful staff who sorted out a number of trips for us. The hotel is in a pleasant area of the city but about 30 to 40 minutes walk from the main centre. This is fine for us as we enjoy walking. The restaurant is very cosy , and they light a real fire , great when it's cold outside. We preferred it in there to the local Italian and ate in the hotel most nights. They don't serve wine or spirits but there is a good wine shop about 5 minutes walk away with a decent selection ( or a local mini market with less selection) , and the hotel serves it to you in their glasses. Wine is very expensive in St Petersburg and this works out a more cost effective way of eating out if you enjoy a bottle with your meal. Nice room with good wifi connection.

Fabulous small hotel in quiet neighborhood
The hotel and staff are charming. Could not hope for a nicer more inviting place. The only disadvantage is the fact that there are few restaurants in the area. No metro stop. The tram or bus is a good 3 to 4 blocks away. I like to walk so it was not a problem. The hotel offers 24 hour service in the restaurant. The staff specialize in cheerfulness and good service.

A little gem
We stayed there for 4 nights in September and were absolutely delighted. The staff are all super young, and helpful, they speak really good English and were always more than happy to help with directions and restaurant bookings. Our room was gigantic and the bathroom was very spacious too. Breakfast was delicious. Being welcomed with a hot tea every night after a day of walking around the city was also the icing on the cake! Location is good - although not quite super central but taxis/ Uber are cheap and there are a few sights really close by too (St Nicholas Cathedral, Mariinsky).

Great stay at Alexander House
The Alexander House is a boutique hotel in central St. Petersburg; it is just a short walk down the canal to the beautiful Nickolas- Epiphany Naval Cathedral and the famous Mariinsky Theatre. This is a super warm and relaxing hotel with a outdoor sitting area on the first floor and large den areas open to some rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors. Surroundings were quiet and it is about a 20-30 minute walk into the Admiralty. We love to walk so this was perfect to us! The breakfast was superb, it included fresh baked pastries every day also there are no shortages of dining opportunities within a short walk. The wifi connection was very fast and there was a computer located in the study on the 2nd floor in case you needed to print anything. The rooms are very comfortable; our deluxe room was quite spacious. First and foremost, we must say that we appreciated the awesome staff; they were so kind, so helpful, so caring, even to Americans visiting the Russian Federation. Can’t wait to go back!

Great stay, staff extremely polite and friendly. House is very impressive, as are rooms and bathrooms. Only downside is that there is some noise from other rooms/common areas due to nature of the building. Located in very nice area, although not for those who like to be right in the middle of town (15-20 mins to restaurants etc, 40 mins to hermitage but taxis are good especially UBER which takes all the communication issues out of the equation).

Wonderful gem in St. Petersburg
Our family really loved staying at the hotel. The people were very helpful and nice. Breakfast was great. We stayed in the Barcelona room, a 2 bedroom apartment, and it was very comfortable. I had requested a cot and it was already set up when we arrived which was nice. The only suggestion would be to include ceiling fans since the wall units were for heating only and being it was the third floor it did get alittle warm. We were able to open the Windows but it also let in the street noise too. Otherwise, Everything was fantastic and we would definitely stay here again.

Quite possibly the best hotel in St. Petersburg
I found every single aspect of staying here to be absolutely delightful. The staff were uniformly helpful, friendly, courteous, and committed to going out of their way to make my visit comfortable and enjoyable. The building itself is a marvel - dating back to 1821, it's rustic interior features wood floors and beams that make it seem like a spacious country home, yet the furnishings are surprisingly cosmopolitan, as though the former owners had traveled all over the world and brought back artifacts for guests to enjoy. The 24-hour service - from check-in to room service to dining and drinking in the restaurant - was a real bonus. I very much look forward to staying at the Alexander House again in the near future - in fact, it's one of the main reasons I am planning to return to St. Petersburg this summer.

Huge loft apartment. Really quiet. Even though we were there during white nights, excellent windows and shades block the light completely so it was our first time in weeks that we manage to sleep 10+ hours (wife super sensitive to light and noise). Shared library with fireplace. Decent wifi. Super polite and friendly staff. Surprise bottle of champagne in the evening for my wife's birthday. A truly great value stay. Just get ready to walk a lot as the downtown is pretty far. Walking to Metro + walking inside stations + the ride = almost the same as walking directly to Nevsky. Plus, Metro is super shady - rode it four times and was attacked by pick pockets twice.

brilliant boutique hotel
I really enjoyed staying at the Alexander House hotel. It was charming with friendly and efficient staff and it was wonderful that the kitchen was open at all times so you could get good food and drink whenever you wanted. They were extremely helpful about calling taxis for me whenever I wanted and everyone there was courteous and delightful. My only minor quibble is that one window in my room didn't have very efficient blinds so the light got in and if I had been there during the summer white nights that might have been a problem. But in general I loved the hotel, would definitely return if I revisited St Petersburg and would recommend it to friends.

Great Hotel
Only slight downside is that it is away from the centre however it is still within walking distance of most sights. A nice warm (almost too well heated!) hotel with very good and friendly staff who all spoke very good English. A good selection of good quality food in the restuarant and a nice touch is that breakfast is until 11am (11.30 at weekends) Can be throughly recommended.
