It was an absolute pleasure staying at the Rachmaninov Hotel. It was very good value, especially compared to Moscow hotels, and the location could hardly be better. The room was spacious and pleasant and had everything you would expect, bar perhaps small details like a hair dryer and a small bin in the room itself. We were very pleasantly surprised... More

We’ve spent a week in this hotel and I think it’s just excellent. The location is the best possible: 3 minute walking distance to Nevsky prospect and 10-15 minute walking distance to the Hermitage. The artistic atmosphere gives special charm to the place. There are a lot of nice paintings and photos everywhere along the walls and more over there... More

Great location near the Hermitage and lots of other sights. Staff are lovely - welcome and friendly. Really nice feeling about the place. Superb art works everywhere and a stunning salon where breakfast is served. The breakfast, while substantial, is quite repetitive; we were tempted to go elsewhere on a couple of mornings but it was included in the price.... More

Visited St Petersburg in early April 2013. What a beautiful City! Found the Rachmaninov hotel after browsing many sites looking for hotels. I wanted a mid range hotel in the heart of the city. Well, if that's what you also looking for, then look no further. The hotel is excellent. If arriving by plane, the journey on public transport could... More

The front door is somewhat off-putting but once you get inside, you'll love it. It's two flights up stone steps though, so certainly not disability friendly. The staff are lovely and the rooms are actually surprisingly large given that the hotel is essentially a one floor apartment. Lovely old furniture and comfortable beds. I was there in early April when... More

Very well located in an old and charming building but we didn´t know we would have to carry our bags three stories. As it some times happens in very old buildings shower from our first room was too small.

I live in Saint Petersburg and this hotel I reserved for my friends.The best feature of this hotel is its location. You can't imagine the place to live closer to the centre of the city. Only 5 minutes walk to Nevsky Prospect, 15 minutes walk to the Hermitage, 3 minutes walk to the Kazan Cathedral and etc. Other good feature... More

A charming little hotel in the center of St. Petersburg. It was certainly not a standard hotel in a good way. There were beautiful paintings and antique furniture. We had a very nice and large room with a little kitchen. The personal was friendly and spoke quite good English. The breakfast was nice, but the same every day.

Look past the gloomy, musty flight of stairs leading up to the hotel from the street and you will enter into a welcoming lobby, with friendly English-speaking staff. The hotel exudes old-world European charm but also provides amenities like free wifi. While hair dryers are not i every room, they are available upon request. I stayed with a friend for... More
