Nevsky Contour

Very convenient, quiet, clean hotel. Hotel staff is also very friendly. Overall, a great choice for St. Petersburg!

I liked this hotel very much. Travelers should know that it is a little hard to find at first. It is in a courtyard off of #88 Nevsky Prospect Street. Right near a Subway sandwich shop.You enter an open gated arch, cross the courtyard, through a second arch, and Nevsky Contour is on the left. It is in the Ananbel Hotel. Look for that sign since there is no sign for Nevsky Contour Hotel. Enter the doorway on the left of the Anabel Hotel and take the elevator to the third floor.

Very good experience. Bed is awesome, shower is great. Overall comfort room has good size and is very clean. Sound insulation and breakfast were OK, free tea and good quality coffee is a great addition. Personnel is very welcoming and helpful.

This is a great hotel right on Nevsky Prospect. It isnt that easy to spot - the directions on the website are out of date (the shop/bar they mention have changed) - a sign outside would be helpful! You walk through a metal gateway opposite the Nevsky Palace hotel, signs are all for Hotel Anabel. Sign over the door is also Hotel Anabel, Nevsky Contour is on the 3rd floor of that building. You dont see any signs for Nevsky Contour until you get inside the lift. Having said that the locals are really helpful and will point you in the right direction. Our room was beautiflly clean and all in pristine condition. Not the prettiest or plushest hotel I've ever stayed in but we certainly had no complaints. Breakfast was basic but adequate. We would have liked a bit more information from the staff at the front desk - there were no leaflets about tourist attractions and when we asked questions the staff looked things up on the internet. I'd read a review from someone who'd got an entry voucher from Peterhof from his hotel - the Nevsky staff were unable to help with anything like that. Also my friend had her purse & phone stolen by a pickpocket - despite this being a common occurrence the Nevsky staff couldnt tell us how to report it to the police. Again they just looked up the local police station on the internet, which resulted in a wild goose chase. Russian customer service isnt like Europe - you just have to accept that!

For pepole who had never been to Russia before and do not know the language, we initially had some problem finding the hotel. Because it is inside the Nevsky Prospekt, we had to ask a few people to find the exact location of the hotel. After we found the hotel, everything turned to be surprisingly nice. We enjoyed the stay. The location is good, it is quiet (you won't hear the heavy traffic on the Nevsky Prospekt), the service is nice and friendly and the room is nice. It is absolutely value for money!

Good, budget accommodation In a central location. The hotel occupies the third floor of a building populated mainly by Hotel Annabel. There are literally no signs which made finding the hotel in the middle of a downpour a nightmare. I appreciate that there might be problems in having a sign put out on the Main Street, but something within the courtyard - as other businesses have done - or at least a standing blackboard sign. It was only after a Google search in a local cafe that I figured out where it was and then going in and asking the security guard if it was located in the building, did I eventually find it.

The room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast was nice and there was free tea and coffee throughout the stay. The hotel send instructions a few days before the stay how to find it so it wasn't difficult, although without those it would have been as there are no signs for the hotel on the street.

For a small hotel they deliver great service with 24 hour desk service, breakfast, anytime coffee/tea, laundry service (at a fee), security, wifi, quiet and clean.

Booked a triple room and got given the Green Room (312). Looked exactly ljke the pictures and is the biggest room available. Clean room, but bathroom was very cosy. Based on the 3rd floor of the Hotel Anabels building, it was set within an oasis off the main Nevsky Prospect road (similar to Oxford Street in London). Didn't need the metro or bus as we walked everywhere within 30mins. But plenty od busses, trolley busses and 2 metro stations nearby.

Nice little hotel in a good location on a courtyard off Nevsky Prospekt, close to buses making it convenient for taking in all the sights. The hotel is on the 3rd floor of a larger building. They serve a nice breakfast. Reception is excellent and includes complimentary tea or coffee during the day. The room is clean, comfortable and quiet. There are about 8 steps to reach the elevator which may be a concern if you have luggage.
