The location of the hotel is excellent as it is right in front of the Nevsky and all attractions are within walking distance from the location. There is also a great 24 hour local restaurant called Brynza downstairs and we ate there almost every day during our 5-night stay. They have English menus and they serve Russian as well as some western food. We were very happy. The room is well heated even without turning the air conditioner on. Overall, we had a really nice experience and given the price, I would definitely stay here again.

This welcoming hotel has only nine, differently sized rooms, so make sure to book on time because you will want to stay here! It is newly renovated with tasteful decorations in a modern but still Russian style. Beds are good and despite its central location not much noise can be heard from the street. The AC worked really well and the shower was hot with a good flow. A station with self service of coffee/tea is available. For breakfast you must turn to the coffee house next door, but no loss - it is a really ambitious place.

The hotel is situated in an old typical St. Petersburg building, does not look nice from outside but it has been very well renovated. It still kept the brick walls which gives an authentic style to the hotel and rooms. Reception open 24h, clean rooms, tea & coffee & cakes & Russian sweets are available in the common area. Friendly & very helpful staff. We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel and will definitely stay there again next time.

The stay was very pleasant! We arrived at 5 am and were met by Timur. He was extremely helpful throughout the stay and genuinely very welcoming guy. The room was very clean and with lots of small touches like earplugs (not that we needed them), russian sweets, extra toiletries, daily cleaning service. The location of the hotel is great, easy to get to the iconic places, nice pubs and restaurants around. I can highly recommend this hotel.

The location of this hotel was pretty good, 10-15 minutes far from downtown by taxi, 10 minutes far from underground. So it was really easy to arrive at this hotel. The best feature of it is the stuff! The girls were very positive and reacted very fast for all questions and queries: iron, coffee, extra pillow and so on. If I'm going next time to St.Petersburg I'll stay next time for sure. Thanks for your hospitality!

The location is very good, within walking distance to Nevski Prospekt, the main street in St. Petersburg. The breakfast was decent and it included a few samples from the Russian cuisine. The hotel is nicely decorated and has a cozy feeling. Around the hotel you can easily find small grocery shops and also a few interesting restaurants. We really liked the place and we think it was excellent value for the money.

I’ve been to luxury hotels and resorts worldwide and I’ve been to some Russian-run hotels in Russia. I’d say HIE Sadovaya is one of the best price/quality hotels I've ever visited, and outstanding for Russia. The service is impeccable, the rooms are extra clean and very well-equipped by premium-level amenities and the location is ultra-convenient and romantic. The front desk staff are very friendly.

I visited St Petersburg for the history and architecture of the city and the hotel was close to most of the important objectives for surprisingly low price. The room was upgraded to a better one for free and it was better than expected. The staff were nice and helpful. I liked the fact that the technology is used where it really makes sense (e.g: having sensor readings outside the room).

- Unexpected luxury design of the room and the hotel. It is the former palace, many details are preserved and restored. Feel like a Russian tsar. - Very polite personnel - Awesome location, just really 5 minutes from Kazansky Cathedral and Hermitage, Letniy Sad (Summer Garden) - Despite the central location, the room was very quiet - The breakfast was excellent

The best hotel in St. Petersburg with professional staff. Great location. Amazing spa zone. Happy with the service!!! Planing to stay there again during my next visit to Russia and would be great to receive some luxury offers. Stepan, Valentina and Julia were very helpful and friendly with charming smile! :)

I like the hotel very much. The friendly and helpful staff, up-to-date facilities, excellent location, all suggest that they live up to the 9.5 ratings. But if I compare Helvetia with another St. Petersburg hotel which is rated 9.6, it pales a bit in pricing and breakfast.

Excellent location, 5 minutes walk from main shopping and cafes street Nevshiy Prospect, 10 minutes from Hermitage, metro and Russian Museum. Friendly and helpful service. Hotel has character - was once a Nobel family's residence (Rachmaninov the composer).

- Hotel was easy to find and access. - Reception spoke english and checkin process was fast. - Location was good for restaurants and also bus station is located just next to the hotel - Water dispenser on hallway as rooms in Russia are kept hot during winter

Hotel have great location, in the center of St Petersburg, staff is very helpful, they helped me with my stuff that I've forgot in a room. I really liked their approach, and want to stay in a hotel one more time.

For the price, there is no better place to stay at in Saint Petersburg. The metro stop is a ten minute walk and there are plenty of cafes and stores within a 5 minutes walk. I'd recommend this hotel for sure!

Greet staff , very friendly the night reception can’t speak English but she is very nice lady.. the hotel has good idea about russian history.

A good quiet hotel, not too far from the Hermitage. Close too the underground and a traditional Russian center, with bars and cafes.

Good hotel at the heart of the city. Most important-it's near all historic places of Peterburg.
