the place is not bad but it would not be my first choice. This means that there is everything you need but all things are a bit old and not of high quality. The toilet is old and water makes noise when neighbour is using the shower (at least in room 301, you can still manage to sleep). There is not elevator (third floor is ok still). The staff does not talk good english (but you are in Russia after all) although it is friendly, nice and helpful when you need. Room's fornitures are a bit old and not really fresh. the rooms are very very large and bright anyway. The breakfast was the worse I had (milk, yogurt and simple packed croissant, some cereals). The worse aspect of the place is the location. It is not in the periphery in a large metropolis such as St.Petersburg, but it is not even in the centre. To go to Hermitage you need to take two busses. This is ok, they are direct and very frequent but at rush hours you might get the traffic jam. Let's say in 20-25 minutes you are at the hermitage. The price is good after all.

The hotel is a bit out of town centre but well served by bus services and it's only a 5 minute walk to a brand new Metro station. There are no good restaurants in the vacinity and the breakfast was limited and lacking in variety. However the staff were very friendly and the bedrooms were clean, comfortable and modern with all necessary facilities. At the price charged we could not complain. There is no lift so try & get a room on lower floors (preferably at the back as the busy road outside is noisy all night long!)

Nice and clean hotel. the services are good and the staff are friendly , they speak English and always willing to help .
The TV in the room is with Russian channels only, you won't hear anything in English .
There is a free wireless internet 24 hours and if you don't have your own laptop you can borrow one from the reception .
The hotel is little far from the city center ( Nevsky Prospect ) but this is should not be a problem because the public transportation is available until midnight and the bus stops just few meters away from the hotel entrance.It takes about 10 minutes by bus to get to the center.
there's no elevator in the hotel and that gives you a chance for some exercise (running up and down the stairs) .

I stayed there 5 nights with my husbend and two little daughters, and really enjoyed my travel. The price is cheap and reasonable for a 3-star hotel. The hotel was enough small and friendly and in an excellent location within easy walking distance of the Ligovsky Prospect and Railwas station, Nevsky Prospekt . The staff was very helpful and spoke english fluently. St. Petersburg met us with snow, but it was nice and warm inside even when very snowy and cold outside! Our room was cleaned to a high standard every day. If I went to Saint-Petersburg again, I would have no doubt to stay in the City Hotel Comfitel. We had a great holiday and thoughly recommend this hotel.
