Askur Hotel K  A little better than so so.   (No website.) St. Petersburg, Russia.  Phone: 7 (812) 234-4588

Rates: $68 to $80. Higher in summer.

Location Rating: Good. It's located on an island, near a park. It feels like you are in the country here, but it is the city, and a busy road is off in the distance. You will walk over the Neva River on your way to the metro.

Proximity To Metro: Good. It's about a 12 minute walk to Chernaya Rechka Metro Station, and it's an interesting walk.

Lobby Appearance: Inside it looks like it was a former mansion. And the lobby is huge for a hotel that only has 5 rooms. A fireplace is also in the lobby.

Room Appearance: These are the biggest hotel rooms in Saint Petersburg - palatial in size! And so big that the rooms seem a little lonely. There's not enough furniture to fill them. The bathrooms are old and ready to be updated. I found them unattractive. The furnishings of the rooms are also dated. 

Useful Nearby Businesses: I think there is a fitness facility about 5 minutes away. And near the metro there are plenty of little kiosk businesses.

Hotel Restaurants: For $7 they will make a custom breakfast for you.

Other Amenities: Russian billiards on the top floor.

Would I Stay Here? Yes. It's kind of interesting. But it would not be among my most desired choices.

Staff Speaks English? We were told the administrator speaks excellent English. She was an English teacher and spent time in the US and Canada.

Comments: The director is a very jovial fellow, although he speaks no English. The lobby is huge. The rooms are huge. It is unique among the hotels here. Far from the hustle and bustle with a long tree covered driveway from the main road. The area is considered prestigious. And although it is a curious place, the hotel is a bit dated.
