Arkada Hotel

Location is excellent. Very cozy and comfortable room, quiet and has all facilities. Good bed and linens. Staff is nice and very helpful.

Breakfast is quite poor. Second floor without lift.

Great location right by Rubinstein Street, with all it’s bars and restaurants. Quiet and clean rooms. Nice personnel.

No elevator.

The hotel staff were very helpful. The room was kept clean and the bathroom had sufficient toiletries. The en suite bathroom and toilet was very spacious. This was a big plus to our comfortable stay as not many budget hotels in Saint Petersburg are able to provide this.

The air conditioning was very weak. Access to the hotel was via stairs only and it presented a challenge for our luggage. Our boss was with us and being the only male, he carried our luggages up several flights of stairs. If only there was an elevator!

Location Location Location! A short walk from Nevsky Prospekt, the Main Street of St Petersburg. Close to Restaurants, Banks and shops; and the Faneege museum - also close to Hop on Hop off Red Bus as well as the Hop on Hop off Canal boat service near the Faberge Museum. Staff were excellent! Breakfast suited us. Eggs, pancakes ( crepes) Cereals, Yoghurt , Cheese, Russian sliced sausage, bread/toast juice and coffee/ tea ( various teas) for less than $5 each. Not more than a 15 minute maximum taxi ride to all the good theatres ( Mariinsky; Michailovsky) both of Which we attended and only 5 minutes by taxi from the excellent Troika Restaurant Which has an excellent variety show!

It is a 3 star hotel ; there is little to complain about really. Entrance and stairs a bit difficult for either the old or infirm. However the staff were willing to help us with our considerable baggage!

The hotel turned out to be quite small but I consider it as an advantage - people around were very helpful and friendly. We also had some questions/wishes before coming and the staff replied very fast to our emails and provided us with all requested things when we came. The rooms are well maintained and very clean. Me and my friends appreciated a lot the possibility of having coffee/tea in the reception hall not only during the breakfast but also throughout the whole day. I would highly recommend this hotel to everyone.
