I couldn't be happier with my stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the small living room was a nice surprise. However, the lack of a window in one room made it a bit uncomfortable during busy times. The service was helpful overall, though there was a small issue with change that caused a slight inconvenience. The location was superb, right opposite St Isaac's Cathedral and close to many attractions. The dining experience was excellent with top-notch service and delicious food. The facilities were great, especially the charming Lichfield cocktail bar.

The hotel's rooms, though a bit gloomy due to historic building constraints, were stylish, comfortable, and fully equipped for a cozy stay. The service was generally attentive, though lacking apologetic attitude in specific incidents. The location, right opposite St Isaac's Cathedral in St Petersburg, offered convenience to major attractions. The dining experience, while generally good, was average for a 5-star hotel. The facilities were well-maintained but did not include luxurious extras.
