Hotel Dostoevsky - St. Petersburg

Practical choice for tourists. Central location, decent breakfast, rooms small, but clean. Staff friendly, polite and responsive to ones needs. I would use it again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

An excellent hotel in the center of St. Petersburg. Every major attraction of this historic city is within walking distance for the active person (30minutes in every direction). Nice shopping center attached to the hotel and a 24 hour market.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is in a great location, and all the features and amenities were pretty decent and standard. One odd thing was that for wi-fi service, which is free, you had to get a login/password code that was unique for every device you wanted to use wi-fi with. The worst thing about the hotel is that with exception of one of the late night guys, the staff […] was typically unable and unwilling to help with anything outside of their immediate job function of checking people in/out and taking your money. Really frustrating.... Read more

Two floors of shabby small rooms, poor amenities and crowds of people. Resembes more a train station than anything cozy or relaxing. The shower so small you keep pressing the tap with your back. Although the location is enticing the overall quality is depressing.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Make sure your room has AC or is on the courtyard so the window will open. Rooms on the street side are hot and have mosquitos. Breakfast was varied so all had good choices/ Staff was helpful

This was one of the worst hotel we have stayed in. The staff at the front desk were unfriendly, the hotel lobby was horrible and the water in the bathroom had a fishy smell. This is only a 3 star hotel and not a 4 star as mentioned.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel has not the 4 stars category related. Service is terrible. we need 20 minutes for check-in. The good times of this hotel are over.

Was originally given a smoking room even though I was told it was non-smoking. A trip back downstairs to the front desk got me a non-smoking room but it was two single beds instead of a double bed. Ok, except that one of the bed frames was broken and it meant one of us was sleeping downhill! Room itself was basic. Bathroom was very small and the shower […] was too small IMO. And you had to step up to get into the shower. Room was too hot. Temperature control didn't work at all. Would leave the door open when we were there to allow cooler air into the room. We had to request a hair dryer. Location is very good. Decent number of restaurants within a couple of blocks of the hotel. There is also a 24 hour supermarket in the ground floor of the development which is nice - and there is a refrigerator in the room. The breakfast was a basic Russian breakfast buffet. Decent but definately not anything special. Eggs cooked in milk, salmon, sausages, bread, pastries and some fruit. Business center was reasonable for internet usage. But the fitness center had everything broken! Overall it was barely ok. If your young and want a central cheap place to stay then this hotel will work. If you want a hotel room to relax after a day of sightseeing then I'd look elsewhere. Read more

conveniently located, affordable, clean... good deal

the biggest problem was the load chatter amonst the cleanng staff early in the morning, combined with very poor soundproofing of the room making sleeping in impossible. also the quality of the breakfast was below average

Oh my. My husband & I were quite surprised & disappointed with our experience at the Hotel Dostoevsky. The front desk person was relatively friendly, but the room was (similar to other reviews that i read on expedia, but did not really believe...) more of a 2 star hotel quality. The "mini-bar" was just an empty refrigerator, the room was super small, […] even in european terms, it was incredibly hot with no airconditioning, they advertised 24-hour room service, but there was no room service menu in the room and when we asked for one they couldn't give us one (so we assumed that it probably didn't really exist), the concierge was a disheveled, sleepy, angry man who refused to give me a map and just kept saying "no english" over & over again, so i went to the front desk man, who also said they don't have maps, but i just stood there and kept asking, and then he finally walked over to the sloppy sleepy concierge man, they exchanged words and then finally gave him a map for me. The whole St. Petersburg experience was odd with this hotel. It was centrally located which was nice, but we definitely would have paid a LOT more for a real 4 star hotel if it was higher quality and service. Read more

Had to change room because of the terrible heath and no openable windows.The "engineering" didnt work... Good location near the metro station and by side of the shopping center. Slow service- but satisfactory level comparing average standard in the city. Ok breakfast. Suits to business overnighting better than for family holidays.

The Hotel itself is in good decorative order and has what is expected of 4 stars but small. Not within walking distance though of main sights unless you really like walking. Rooms were well but simply furnished and en suite was clean and modern but small and no window or ventilation. Very quiet. Bottle of bubbly with a welcome note in our room on arrival.Breakfast […] is disappointing. The food was stone cold if you arrived at 8.30 a.m. but you could have very nice fruit, salmon, herrings etc. Just be flexible, you're not at home. The staff were very helpful. Their English was adequate enough to understand all our needs and they did everything they could to answer our questions to our satisfaction. For sightseeing there are two Metros practically next door and a 5 minute walk takes you to Nevsky Prospect for the bus.191 takes you up and down Nevsky to Hermitage 21 rubles.Staff were very helpful in saving us a bundle on getting to Catherine Palace - Moskovskye Metro station and then bus to the gates - £1.25ish. Even better getting back to the airport - same Metro station and then no. 13 bus to Airport. Again £1.25ish and it took less than 30 minutes door to door compared with £38 and same time quoted for a taxi. Don't get many rubles before you go. We took Stirling and got 20% more at the Bank than was on offer at airport. Read more

Great hotel at not a bad price Only complaint is the windows didn't open and the AC was not very cold (a bit of a problem in the summer months), but apart from that, breakfasts were great, location is just off Nevsky Prospect, a nice safe touristy area. Great cake shop two doors down!

The staff at the hotel were extremely helpful prior to our visit and during our stay. There are high standards of cleanliness throughout the hotel. Breakfast was simple and catered for every nationality.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Stayed 6 nights. Good points: it's in a good location & within walking distance to most attractions & although expensive there is a grocery store in the mall connected to the hotel. The hotel itself is clean & the front desk staff speak English. Bad points: the rooms are very standard. Mini bar was an empty fridge that did not work. Did not see a room […] service menu. Nothing worked in the gym. Not sure what ‘welcome amenities’ were – is it the shampoo & soap? We paid for a superior room, its obvious it was not. Expedia & their website advise there is aircon but were given a room with none. We were in a group that had booked 10 rooms – nobody had aircon. Each of us complained. They advised the air comes on at about 11pm – after checking the vent through the night it did not. The following day we requested an electric fan which we finally received. After 3 days of complaining to the desk staff we were reluctantly given the room we paid for (we think) & sleep became a lot easier & more comfortable. The free breakfast was a real disappointment, if you were not in the restaurant by 7:00am when it opened you missed out because they would not replenish any of the food on offer & this went on for 6 mornings. Do not request the hotel to arrange for a shuttle it will be very expensive. We have traveled to a lot of countries & spent a lot less money for a lot more hotel. If you do want to stay at this hotel, pay for the cheapest room because that is what they will give you anyway! Read more

Well run hotel, very convenient for metro, and close to main street of Nevsky Prospekt, for restaurants and shops. Also it's possible to walk to most of the major attractions from this hotel, and the departure point foe boat trips on the canals is only 10 mins walk away.

Hotellin sijainti on mainio. Metro on ihan vieressä ja ruoka ja ostospaikat kävely etäisyydellä. Keskusta-alueen nähtävyydet hyvin saavutettavissa. Hotellin hinta-laatu suhde ei kyllä kohdannut lainkaan. Palvelu vastaanotossa todella huonoa, huoneet pieniä, ei hiustenkuivaajaa, ei ilmanvoihtoa muuten kuin ikkuna avaamalla, aampulalatila ahdas. Yleisvaikutelma […] kulunut ja tunkkainen. Ei vastannut odotuksia 4 tähden hotellista. Read more

Hyvin onnistunut valintaa. Fiksusti on rakentaja hotellin huoneistot sijotettanut,että yhtään ei kuulu ison kaupungin julkinen liikenne.Hotellin käytävät olisi voinut olla pikkasen leveämmät ja hissit myös vähän isokoisempia.Ymmärrän kuitenkin tilanteen,koska vanhasta asuin rakennuksesta on rakennettu ihan uusi,toisen tarkoituksen.Kiva kun talon julkisivu […] on säilytetty.Vanhan kaupungin miljöö on säilytetty.Hotellin sijainti on erinomaisella paikalla,Nevskin prospektille on n.10 min.kävelymatka.Metro asema on ihan vieressä,jos on joku pidempi matka nähtävyyksijen sijainnin.Upea vanha kirkko on hotellin vieressä.Hotellin ovesta päästyä ulos heti pääse vanhan kaupungin tunnelmaan.Mikä olikin meidän matkan tarkoitus.

Hotel in posizione perfetta, a circa 200 metri dalla via principale (Nevski Prospect). Annesso ad una struttura Centro Commerciale di ottima fattura ed elegante. Al piano terra presente Supermercato aperto 24h/24h. Economico per noi italiani praticamente su tutti i prodotti tranne quelli importati. Eventualmente per l' acquisto di bevande, e prodotti […] per riempire il frigo bar, ci si puo' rivolgere ad un piccolo supermarket. alle spalle dell' Hotel, ancora piu' economico di circa il 30% sui prezzi. Servizio Taxi in Hotel: costa un po' di piu' del servizio ufficiale di San Pietroburgo, ma e' pronto a partire in 7 minuti (in realta' 3 minuti). conducente educato, colto, conosce l'inglese, cose molto rare da trovare nei conducenti di Taxi in Russia. A 30 metri presente Metropolitana (fermata Vladimirskaja), dall' altra parte della strada c'e' la farmacia, a 20 metri il cambio piu' conveniente di San Pietroburgo sia sulla valutazione dell' Euro che sulla commissione di cambio. Insomma non manca veramente nulla. Anche alcuni locali per i giovani sono molto vicini, circa 2 o 3, tutti gli altri sono in giro per la citta'. Read more

Greit opphold , men dagen vi kom, var restauranten og baren stengt grunnet firmafest. Veldig lytt mellom rommene, og sengene var i overkant myke, (Kanskje slitt)? Betjeningen var veldig hyggelig, og de fleste snakket godt engelsk. Det luktet søppel i trappen ved restauranten!

Erinomainen sijainti lähellä metroa. Palvelu välinpitämätöntä. Meluisa, äänieristys huono sekä sisä että ulkopuolen äänille. Aamiainen vaatimaton. Kokonaisuus kuitenkin siisti ja asiallinen.
