Glass of champagne on arrival was well appreciated. Very comfortable light rooms, rather large for Europe. Very clean and well presented. Terrific breakfast. The staff were very helpful and eager to assist a great benefit for first timers. The location is unbeatable only 5 minutes from the Hermitage...what a wonderful experience, we were more impressed with the decoration ofnthe rooms... More

Overall the hotel is what you might expect for an 8 year old property that allows smoking throughout. It is Russia however, and that being said the hotel is nice and in a great location at a fair price. Fairly easy walk to many of the sites in St Petersburg and a fair choice of restaurants. No executice Lounge, however... More

The hotel is a very short walk from some great spots like the Hermitage, so I went for a look almost every day after work. Everything was nice in the hotel and the service was good.

If you want a view, just book a table in Mansarda... More

Was a difficult choice to find the right hotel for our first visit to Russia and Saint Petersburg as there are many that have decent Trip Advisor reviews – and we had no idea what to expect. We chose the Renaissance Saint Petersburg based on its proximity (walking distance) to a number of attractions we wanted to visit and it’s... More

I was very pleased to stay in this hotel. Very helpful staff, always ready to help. Rich breakfast. And very comfortable room, clean and spacey.

Were staying in Rennaissance Baltic Hotel in the end of January. Was quite cold outside and were spending few evenings in a hotel bar. The hotel is lovely. Rooms are nice and big enough. But prostitute in a lobby - that is too much! I tried to talk with people who work there and asked them what that kind of... More

Greeted with champagne when we checked in, upgraded to have a view of St Isaac's, walking distance to the great sights, museums, cathedrals, excellent breakfast with champagne and crepes, very good concierge presence .... only weakness seemed the room service staff ...
