Friends Smart is a 26–room hotel. It is located in a very quiet courtyard of the house on Nevsky Prospekt, a couple of minutes walk from Moskovsky train station. All rooms of the hotel are separate: most have shared facilities, the rest have their own shower and toilet.
The film "Budapest Hotel" served as an inspiring element for the creation of the hotel's design. The result was impressive, but only vaguely reminiscent of the on-screen prototype. We are sure that guests will appreciate the interesting design elements: arched structures with beds on catwalks, abstract collages commissioned specifically for the hotel, exclusive wallpaper with floral ornaments and much more.
The Kino Hostel on Pushkinskaya provides a great place for travelers to relax after a busy day. Visitors to Saint Petersburg will find that the Kino Hostel on Pushkinskaya is a fantastic accommodation choice. Traveling to the hotel is easy with Vitebsky Railway Station located approximately 500m away and Pulkovo Airport roughly 22km away. Being just minutes away from Pushkinskaya Metro Station allows guests to explore the city with ease. Seeing Saint Petersburg's sights from this hotel is easy with Yekaterininskiy Sad, Yusupov Palace and Dostoevsky Museum all close by. At the end of a busy day, travelers can unwind and relax in the hotel or go out and enjoy the city. Our guests consider this hotel to have excellent service.
The Friends on Vosstaniya Hostel is located a stone's throw from the main thoroughfare of St. Petersburg, Nevsky Prospekt. Moskovsky Train Station is a 5-7 minute walk from the hostel, and most of the city's attractions can also be reached on foot or by taking a couple of stops on public transport.
The entrance to the hostel is located on Vosstaniya Street. Next to it is perhaps the most original and unusual outdoor advertising in the city: a yellow Zaporozhets, stylized as the Beatles' Yellow Submarine. Administrators are on duty at the counter on the second floor 24 hours a day. Guests of the Friends will be warmly welcomed, helped to accommodate and given the necessary information about the city. Next to the reception there is a spacious and cozy living room filled with interesting retro items and souvenirs from Soviet times, with soft leather sofas, a large TV and table football.
Friends on Vosstaniya has 37 separate rooms for two and three people, and 8 multi-bed rooms. All rooms have a bright interior, as well as practical and comfortable furniture. The windows of individual rooms mostly offer a quiet courtyard view. The spacious multi-bed rooms offer Vosstaniya street view.
Each floor of the hostel has the necessary amenities: bathrooms with sinks, showers and toilets; kitchens with a refrigerator, microwave, electric kettle, and a set of dishes; washing machines and dryers. You can connect to the free Wi-Fi network both in the rooms and in the common areas of the hotel.
FF AlmazroueiThe Four Seasons Hotel in St. Petersburg is truly luxurious and high-end in every detail. The service is exceptional, and the staff go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. The restaurants are outstanding, offering excellent food and atmosphere. It’s one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had, and I highly recommend it.
ผผู้เข้าพักClean, neat and tidy room equipped with cooking equipment, hair dryer, clothes iron, usb charging ports and other useful amenities for a comfortable stay. The bathroom is likewise neat and tidy, with a towel dryer, sufficient lighting and personal care products available .
The staff was very helpful and conversational in English, the signages and announcements are translated into English and Chinese which makes it a very hospitable place for non-Russian speaking travelers.
The hotel itself is situated about 15 minutes away by car from Pulkovo Airport and in walking distance of buses which bring you to the metro station/St Petersburg city center. Across the hotel, there is a supermarket (Pyaterochka, opened until 11pm) and some small restaurants.
Definitely worth it!
KKumnataОчень понравился отель Трауберг!!! Во первых он расположен рядом со станцией метро Горьковская,ост трамвая и автобуса так же.во вторых почти в этом же доме и к нему примыаающих находятся самые вкусные, с отличным обслуживанием и ( цена= качество)кафе, рестораны и булочная. Сам отель представляет собой подьезд когда то жилого дома, на каждом этаже 3 комнаты справа и 3 слева, этажей 5. Во всем отеле очень чисто, на ресепшен приятный и доброжелательный персонал. Сама комната ( нам досталась на 5 этаже( без лифта!!)) Внутри- современный ремонт и мебель ,и санузел. Есть шкаф+вешалки; минихолодильник, тв, микроволновка, чайник. Приветственные чай, кофе по 2 пакета; шампунь, гель д/д, зуб.щетка . Были 7 дней больше не пополняли. Кровать 2спальная с удобным матрасом и хорошим бельем, полотенца чистые( но тоже не разу не меняли!!!это странно). Прибирали каждый день. Снизила 1 звезду за сервис и чистоту, по описанным выше фактам. Ах да отель предлагает заказной завтрак 600₽ с человека, думаю не стоит он таких денег, вокруг столько вкусных и атмосферных мест, что за эти деньги уж точно можно отзавтракать.
ผผู้เข้าพักI absolutely loved staying at this hotel. From the moment I walked in, the whiteness of the entrance, staircase and reception area was wonderful and it was so clean! The staff was very quick and courteous while checking us in.
When we entered our room, it was a delight - spotless, gorgeous cushions and good windows. We were so happy. We had an extra bed added which did make the walking space a little less but since we were out most of the day, it didn't matter.
We stayed for 6 days and in that time they responded to all our requests quickly and efficiently.
The bathroom was super spacious and we loved the big tub, especially in the winter when you want to have a hot bath!
The reception staff was very helpful with directions, booking a taxi, and in addressing all our questions.
The breakfast staff was also very helpful and polite.
There are 2 negatives I noticed - the breakfast plates were sometimes dirty and i had to request the staff for clean plates. And the shower curtains should be cleaned.
Overall its an amazing hotel and we will definitely stay there if we go back to StP.
The location is phenomenal, cant get better than this!
One tip- breakfast is good but exactly the same every single day, there is nothing new and no change, so if you like some variety, there is a breakfast place opposite. You could go there sometimes.
Definitely a highly recommended hotel!
VViktoria AndreoliWe stayed at Hotel Saint Petersburg and found the location good for visiting the city.
Unfortunately, not all of our experiences with the staff were positive: some people – in particular one at the reception and one in the restaurant in the evening – were rather unfriendly with us, perhaps also because we are Italian, and they were not even able to inform us that European Visa and Mastercard cards were blocked due to sanctions.
One aspect that definitely needs improvement is cleanliness, both in the rooms and in the restaurant, especially considering this is supposed to be a 4-star hotel.
On the positive side, breakfast was very rich and varied, and we would like to sincerely thank the staff members who made our stay more pleasant: the young man preparing omelettes in the morning, two receptionists, and one of the ladies welcoming guests at the restaurant in the morning. All of them were kind, helpful, and professional.
Overall, the location, breakfast, and some of the staff deserve a positive mention, although we regret that not all the service and staff lived up to the expectations of a 4-star hotel.
ผผู้เข้าพักNice property with all facilities required in the room. The room was large and spacious. Breakfast was good. The reception staff were helpful. The property was clean and also close to the main street and the metro station. Food, souvenir and metro station was all close by.
A safe and good choice to make.
AANUBHAV2386We stayed for 3 nights in Saint Petersburg. So 1) location: The hotel is in a quiet locality and is almost unrecognizable. Does not look like a hotel from the outside 2) Staff support: The staff speaks minimal english 3) Service: The hotel does not have breakfast or a restaurant, but there are restaurants and cafes within walking distance (10 minutes), so workable; and the elevator makes quite a noise, but it's workable/safe. 4) Overall experience: Bad - Mediocre: No one helps you out with the luggage, even when they see you are struggling. I am not sure if that is the norm here in Russia. no courtesy, no support/ no extra help for any sort. I guess kindness is chargeable in Russia. Not just this hotel, every hotel we stayed in Russia, I saw no one helping families or even asking for help. Just cold, transactional behavior.
ผผู้ใช้ไม่ระบุชื่อVery clean hotel and pretty good location, friendly staff. I arrived early at the hotel, but since they had a free room, they let me in at 12pm. I was grateful for that. The room is clean enough. The cooler with a water is located near the reception( has hot and cold water). They also have a restaurant with breakfast, lunch and dinner (quite a lot of people were there). Unfortunately, I didn't have time to try, but ... I think that people went there for a reason, and most likely they offer decent food, which they cook themselves. For that kind of money, I think it's a very good option.
I want to note that the sound insulation between the rooms is not very good.
