Ajur Classik Hotel

Plus: Staff very friendly. Always willing to help. Rooms are huge and very nice! Hotel across from the river. You can walk the river to many of the main sights. Only 1.7miles to palace square.

Minus: There is no sign outside of the building tell you it's the hotel. You have to go by the building number only. Once you get inside the door, there is a sign for the hotel.

Plus: The location by the Neva River – 2 km walk on the river bank to the Winter Palace and historic centre; helpful staff; nice and clean room

Minus: Taxi drivers cheat - be careful (book in advance!)

Plus: Quirky hotel - formerly a waterfront apartment. Genuine feel of staying in Russia. Great location Good off road parking

Minus: Quite hard to find by car - no sign outside, just a small name plate.

Plus: Room with windows facing north had an excellent view of the Neva as well as the midnight sun. We had our breakfast inside our room and it was tasty.

Minus: Another layer of window might be necessary to make the room much quieter since outside traffic is a little bit noisy.

Plus: service! we were happy to have a wonderful service! i was very busy, but i had to do manicure. I wrote to administrator in vk that i need manicure to be done tonight. best way to do it in hotel. ...

Minus: we had some problems with water, and it was a bit louder at night, cause of traffic. also, there is no toothpaste with toothbrush. other hotels contains it.

Plus: Nice room, good continental breakfast, spacy room and bathroom

Minus: Harder to find-no sign or number on building (have to check small golden sign saying 'Ajur hotel' on the door)
