Before leaving for Russia we were a little apprehensive about the hotel due to some of the reviews on Trip Advisor. On arrival we were greeted and made at ease as the check in staff all spoke English (far better than the pidgeon Russian I have been learning). Our room was on the 6th floor overlooking the centre courtyard, very... more

i was in st. petersburg for business and was put up at the Petro Palace. The location is good but that's about it. It needs a major overhaul because it is a dump. there are a number of places to stay in st. petersburg and the better ones are very expensive. But having to pay a lot of money for... more

My wife and I have just returned from a five day holiday in St Petersburg and would certainly recommend the Petro Palace Hotel. Having read some of the reviews of this hotel on trip advisor, I have to think that some people are not happy unless they find something to complain about. Maybe they need to realise that they are... more

Stayed here for 5 days in the beginning of the year. Nice hotel in good location. Hotel is rather new but does not feel very modern, its a little Russian style, dark furnishings that feel a little gloomy.. Nice bathroom with heated floors. Room was large and really no big complaints. I made several complaints about the televison. It was... more

Hotel was in an excellent location for the price. Two to three blocks from hermitage, Neva river, closer to Nevsky prospekt. Room was larger than expected at the back of the hotel on the seventh floor. I can see how people might think the front desk was rude or cold but they did all that was asked, I think it... more

We spend 3 nights here between Christmas and New Year. The overall level of service was appalling. Our order for breakfast to be delivered to our room did not materialise and after 5 phone calls we arrived at reception to be given no explanation as to why. Only that it was by now too late to get any breakfast at... more

Petro Palace was an ideal place to stay - we were a group of four female Americans. The location cannot be beat, it is a fairly quiet street, only a couple of blocks from Nevsky Prospect (main street), 1/2 block from St. Isaacs, and the American Express office across the street. There are countless restaurants and sites within walking distance... more

We stayed at Petro Palace for 3 nights in September 07. After a crazy car ride from the airport by the ‘private transfer’ that was included as part of visa requirements we were happy to uncurl ourselves from the smelly car and get into the hotel. We choose this hotel because of the reviews on Trip Advisor after our travel... more

Not too sure why everyone is so positive about this place. Can't fault the location....everything beautiful St P's can offer is a short walk from here & that is its main sales point...especially if you don't want to spend a lot more for the Angleterre or Astoria 100m up the road.... but a palace it is not! Not even close.... more
