This small hotel is a big surprise. It only offers six to eight rooms on the third floor of an older building which offers a balcony in the lobby overlooking the city's most famous street. So, the location is excellent, a block or more away from the fascinating boat ride through St. Petersburg's canals and waterways.||||The other direction on Nevsky Prospect takes you by the largest department store in the city which is about two American city blocks long, an antique musical theatre which offers ballet, countless upscale restaurants and finally to The Hermitage, the world's greatest museum which was founded by Catherine the Great in the 18th Century.||||For those snobs who are worried about the introduction to a hotel on the street level, forget about the Anichkov. You don't know what you are going to see until you arrive on the third floor of the building and walk into the door opening into the hotel. And the breakfast was to die for -- about a half-dozen options for guests are on the single page hand-written menu.||||So, I loved this place, had a nice large room with lovely bath, and would go back in a minute if St. Petersburg ever looms on my travel schedule again. The staff is very, very nice and will do anything to accommodate the hotel guests.||||Mike Wilson, Atlanta, GA. USA
