You can choose and change the pillow... More

We have just returned from a four night stay at the Taleon and cannot fault it. It is in a great position for all the sights of St Petersburg and with some of the best staff we come across (Olga on the concierge desk in particular). Originally we had been directed to stay at the Grand Hotel Europe, but when... More

I can not stop myself telling people about the wonderful Taleon. Many nights spent there and in Saint-Petersburg, it will always be the only hotel I ever will book. The personnel, the rooms, the food (except breakfast), the building are just excellent. Restaurant Taleon will please you with excellent russian food, piano music and high-end service. Trust the official pictures.

We stayed here the week before Christmas and loved it. Stunning decor , lavish and opulent; beautifully decorated and fabulously furnished . The staff could not have been more helpful and spoke good English. Never stayed anywhere where the carpet in the lift was changed daily! The breakfast offered everything you could have wanted, and more for breakfast - continental,... More

Excellent location, historic building! Our weekend there was lovely! Great Christmas decoration and atmosphere!

We had a fantastic stay at the Taleon, I highly recommend it. Natalia (concierge) was one of the best concierges that I've worked with, ever. Rodian (butler) was also excellent, as were all the ladies at the front desk. I had tons of restaurant resv and they were patient and accommodating. All places were great...Tsar (went twice, which I have... More

The Taleon Imperial Hotel was a wonderful experience. The staff were extremely helpful and took great care of us. The rooms were divine. Linens were perfect and the amenities were top notch. The location was perfect. It's right on Novensky Prospect and walkable to the Hermtage, the Marinsky Theater, the Blood Church and other lovely attractions.

Have just come back from St Petersberg, having spent 4 nights in the Taleon Imperial. A deeply disappointing hotel: all show and no go! Fantastic location and large comfortable rooms, but service from the dark ages. For example, it took 20 minutes to check in because whilst there were 5 staff on duty, only one poor chap was allowed to... More
