  Affordable Hotel Walking Distance to the Tourist Sites

  The receptionist is a nice lady that unfortunately does not speak English. You have to work on your hand gestures or some Russian words to communicate with her. I do not speak nor understand Russian thus my interaction with the reception is very limited. The room is relatively clean and nice. I had a great view of the canal and it was quiet. There is no AC but this is ok by me as the St Petersburg weather was cool during our stay (early September) Going to the hotel is quite tricky and creepy at the same time. There was no visible hotel sign on the entrance. The nice Uber driver had to ask around about the hotel. I recommend you have the hotel address on hand preferably in Russian. I am posting some pictures of the entrance, the creepy way to go inside and the intimidating stairway so you can find the hotel. If you have heavy bags prepare to bring them up to the 3rd floor with no elevator. No one will assist you to bring bags up to the hotel. This is not recommended for handicapped guests or old people. The toilets were clean with 2 shower areas (1 was not working during our stay). There is no kitchen but there is a common microwave oven. There is no free coffee nor tea. Internet is fast. The location is great it is very near and walking distance to the tourist sites Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, Kazan Cathedral, Isaac Cathedral, Hermitage and more and main road - Nevsky Prospect. There is a mini market around the corner where you can buy your water and snacks. There are many restaurants (russian canteen, Korean, Chinese, Japanese food) and fast food places (KFC, Burger King, McDonalds) within the area. You can also find souvenir shops n the area but i do recommend that you to the Izmaylovskiy Market for cheaper priced souvenirs.
