Best Western Plus Hotels in Saint Petersburg

The Best Western is very well located in the heart of St Petersburg. It is just across Ploshcad Vosstaniya from Moskovsky main line railway station on Ligovskiy Avenue, near to the junction with Nevski Prospekt. The building is quite old as are many of the fixtures and fittings in the rooms. The one lift was also somewhat rickety. However, my room itself was large and comfortable with plenty of storage space. There was a safe, complimentary bottled water, a fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. There was a slight whiff of drains in the bathroom but it was fine with a powerful hot shower but no bath tub. Breakfast was served in the adjacent Du Nord restaurant and it was different but pretty good. The breakfast dishes were named after various cities. On the first morning, I had the ‘Moscow’ which consisted of granola followed by Russian pancakes, with coffee and orange juice. On the second morning, I went for the ‘Amsterdam’ which was porridge followed by brioche rolls topped with poached egg and bacon, again with coffee and orange juice. I enjoyed both selections, although on the second morning, they were late opening the breakfast room, so I didn’t get to finish my meal as I needed to get to the airport in a hurry. The staff were very helpful and were able to direct me to a nearby clinic in order to get a PCR test. I couldn’t say the same about the clinic called Invitro - absolutely hopeless ! I stayed at the hotel for two nights and paid £68. Great value.
