The Sovetskaya is located a fair way from the centre of St Petersburg - in an area with little of note to visit, or little by way of places to go and eat. We did not explore the nightclub which is on the 6th floor or part of the hotel - which appears to be quite popular. The in-house Italian restaurant, which served a range of pizzas at affordable prices with a great view over the city on the 13th floor was popular with guests. The buffet breakfast was reasonable, although nothing really to enthuse about - the coffee was certainly not to be recommended.
The rooms are comfortable, clean and well-appointed - apart from the beds - the hotel still uses sheets and blankets - meaning that summer nights can be either too hot or too cold. Worst of all though, the pillows were exceptionally uncomfortable - and there was no choice or hard/soft pillows - I had really problems sleeping as a result.
The staff were helpful, the hotel secure and facilities were good enough, although the 3* rating of the accommodation, whilst in-keeping with Russian 3* hotels, would have struggled to be classed as 3* elsewhere.
