City of Rivers near Palace Square

Wonderful hotel with very friendly staff. Especially the staff at the reception speak English and graciously assist guests to feel at home. Localised central and the theatre (Marinakyy) and restaurants as well as the nevsky prospect are located nearby. Shall definitely visit and stay again and recommend to friends. The lounge bar and restaurant is cozy and serve excellent food and drinks, with prompt and friendly service.

We stayed here at River Palace Hotel the second week of June 2024. I will bullet point my review for clarity and simplicity. The good: Bedrooms nice large size, comfortable mattresses and pillows, clean, well maintained daily. Bathroom a good size with adequate lighting, mirrors and good shower pressure. Room cleaners were kind and courteous. We had lunch and dinner a couple of times in the hotel restaurant, all food was excellent, high standard and high quality. Reception staff were kind and helpful. Although they wouldn't change money for my wife - Russian Rouble large notes to smaller notes. All 4 star hotels happily change money at reception. Location was excellent for our needs - As tourists seeing the principle sights of St Petersburg. The not good: Breakfast was what I would regard as unacceptably poor. Firstly, no variety, only 2 types of cooked egg. There should be an egg station manned by a chef in any 4 star hotel. The sausages were not sausages. The croissants were very heavy and stodgy, they should be lightweight and fluffy in texture. One of the worst things is there was no cut fresh fruit selection, like berries, kiwis, melon, etc. Why?? One day, a group of people came to stay at the hotel from Iran, so for a few days only, there was freshly cut grapefruit and oranges, then it stopped when these people departed the hotel. There must be freshly cut selection of fruit every morning in any 4 star hotel! Also bananas, fresh bananas. The breakfast waitresses were very miserable, unable to smile and connect with the hotel guests. Why? Can I recommend the River Palace Hotel? Yes I can. Just avoid breakfast in the hotel restaurant.

I stayed 4 nights in River palace hotel . the rooms was clean and cozy and large enough .The only point about this hotel is their breakfast , it doesn't have variety
