“This family-owned hotel has a superb location close to St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the airport, that's a fact, but be prepared for a basic experience and cigarette smell. I believe the sofa area in reception provides a cozy spot for relaxation and a drink, but the stories I read point to a possible language barrier and a variety of attitudes.”
