Will stay again!

This was such an inspiring stay! A piece of St Petersburg history restored. The food here was your standard fare for a B&B, you can order cooked to order eggs, omeleted etc. Fresh fruit was avaialbe and the coffee wasnt bad. The rooms are nicely appointed, the beds are comfortable, and clean. We were in town for a funeral and this gave us a comfortable place to land at the end of each busy day. I will stay here again. Thank you to the care team, for 4 days of hospitality and kindness.

Beautiful and historic hotel with a refreshingly healthy focus which I could feel immediately upon entering the building. Excellent buffet breakfast, very friendly and personable service, and interesting surrounding area to do some leisurely exploring. I would recommend this delightful hotel.

8/10 Very good

website video showed a lovely veranda with chairs which was part of my final decision to stay here....coffee early in the morning. On arrival the veranda had a sign posted that it was only available to guests with rooms off the veranda...the rest of us had to wait until 11 am. Disappointing particularly as I never saw anyone out there in the mornings
