Hotel Vera

Very satisfied in overall even it's a bit out of city centre but that doesn't matter coz the hotel comfy and cleanliness is replaceable.

The hotel is very lively. The staff is very good. Now about the negatives , there are mosquitoes in the room. The construction of the bathrooms is such that after bath , water comes to the room!!!

Hotel Vera is clean and - though there were no frills in my budget single room - all the basics (abundant hot water, comfortable bed, plentiful storage) were present and the little fridge in the room was a useful addition. Not a huge room but big enough; my only gripes: an uncomfortable hard chair to sit on and centrally-controlled air conditioning, meaning that unless you want to keep calling reception, you're stuck with the management decision of when to turn it on and off. The staff are friendly and helpful and happy to assist with arranging taxis etc, and though I didn't sample the breakfast offered with my room - I preferred to breakfast in my room - the other gusets looked happy enough, so assume it was nice. The hotel is a little off the beaten tourist track, but as reception advised, this isn't an issue as there are very frequent buses (40 roubles, conductor on board, numbers 5, 7 and 11 all go to the Hermitage or beyond), which whiz you around very efficiently and on the whole are better than the relative slow and not so easily negotiated Metro!

We had a comfortable, spacious, clean room with daily housekeeping. The staff were very helpful with city directions during our stay, and ordered our airport taxi for us when we had to leave at 4 am. They even provided a lunchbox for us because we would be missing the breakfast that morning. The breakfast buffet that was included with the room was excellent.

Excellent value, great breakfast. Beautiful building, elegant interior.

Amazing staff and clean rooms. Great place to stay with family.

We spent 5 nights at Hotel Vera. Excellent location within 10 - 15 minute walk of Nevsky Prospect and Metro station (trolley bus stop outside if don't want to walk). Extra helpful/ friendly staff. Good buffet breakfast. Room comfortable and very clean. Double beds a little on the small side but can be managed. Fantastic time in St Petersburg, easy to get around and loads to see. Hotel provides lots of information.

Very helgul and knowledgeable staff Great place for public transportation to tourist areas - very economical No amenities like shower caps like a 3 star hotel should have or coffee treapot No English news station on TV like BBC or CNN

My stay at the Vera Hotel was very pleasant and comfortable. My room was clean and comfortable and room service was excellent. I also recommend eating at the Vera Cafe inside the hotel, the food was great. The staff there were very helpful in everyway. Hotel Vera was very close to the trolley stop. The trolley was very easy to find and use and they come within 15 minutes.

The staff could not have been more helpful Translating Russian to English and securing a booking to Russian traditional folk evening.
