Astoria, St Petersburg

Accommodation in Russia

In the Soviet era, hotels in Russia had a reputation for having small rooms, poor service and even worse food. Thankfully, things have moved on since then, and in all the major cities there are well-managed properties offering good service and a wide range of facilities.

St Petersburg has the best range of accommodation, with not only some beautiful, historic five star hotels but also a large number of smaller, boutique options. Moscow is a popular business location, so although the quality of choices here is excellent, they tend to be less characterful. Outside these major cities accommodation tends to be in either simple guesthouses, or uninspiring business hotels, but we'll always find you the best available.
