  : Room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Lovely bathroom, and quiet, facing away from the street into the centre of the building. I really appreciated the reception staff using Google Translate to communicate with me, and having hard-copy maps of the city and the metro available at the front desk - not everyone is tech savvy, and I actually prefer a paper map!
  : There were a lot of mosquitoes, which was annoying. Breakfast wasn't great - a sort of porridge, and an additional pancake or pastry. Also found it odd that guests were required to wear plastic coverings over shoes while inside the the hotel (even at breakfast, and fines are incurred if guests don't wear the protective coverings! :)), and that there are surveillance cameras everywhere (barring the rooms and bathrooms). The location, albeit on Nevsky Prospekt, is okay - but the distance to the main sites of attraction at the top end of Nevsky Prospekt is far. Expect to take a bus (about 25 minutes) or metro to get there. The metro station is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

  : - The location - was very close to the metro station and the bus stop, and easy to get to from Moscovsky Rail Station which is convenient for me;- Good water pressure;- Close proximity to decent breakfast places - was needed!
  : - I was appalled to find a cockroach in the middle of my room on the second day! - Tiny room - I was on my own but I still would like some space to put my things;- The abysmal standards of cleanliness - I was there for six nights and not once has my room been cleaned. Not ONCE. I wasn’t going to wear any plastic coverings on my shoes or spend money on slippers thank you very much! I know you get what you pay for, but there are basic standards every human being is entitled to, and cockroaches and dirty floor and bedding have no place there;- No toiletries in the room;- Very very little breakfast variety, just porridge and a cottage cheese pie, neither of which I like.
