Bed N Breakfast       K     St. Petersburg, Russia     Phone: 7 (812) 315-5635

Street Address: Kazanskaya 11, 2nd floor

Location: Excellent

Nearest Metro: Gostiny Dvor

Staff Speaks English? I don't think so.

Would I Stay Here? Hmm... well, probably not. I'd like to have my own bathroom and a tv.

The organization that runs this operation is also an apartment rental service. I found their advertising to be a little bit deceptive because their advertising gave me an incorrect impression. When I visited their first office I was surprised there was no hotel, only an office for apartment rentals. ??? The woman I spoke with there was rude. And afterwards I was certain I would not include them in my reviews.

Later while hunting down more hotels, I was surprised to come across another office of their's which I believed to be a hotel. Again it was an office for apartment rentals >: ( But then I learned they indeed had a real bed and breakfast. Okay, so we went there. It was at Kazanskaya 11.

It turns out the location is quite good. You walk 5 minutes or so down a sidestreet and you are at Kazanski Cathedral and Nevsky Prospect.

The facility at Kazanskaya 11 has 11 rooms with no bathrooms, televisions or phones in the rooms. It is a budget facility. Things look new, but the one room I saw was not decorated with interior design finesse. It's new. It's okay. But the real mini-hotels do a better job of creating a comfortable room environment.

The facility features 4 private toilet rooms, 4 private shower rooms, and 2 combined shower/toilet rooms. There is a very small, tight kitchen. Posters of Saint Petersburg are thumb tacked on to the narrow corridor wall, as well as a large map of the city. A few letters from their previous guests are also thumb tacked to the wall. There are Polaroid photos of the letter writers also, and they all commented on how happy they were and how they will recommend this facility to others.

They told me the cost is $40 to $50 per night. Compared to B & B Nevsky Prospect, Kazanskaya 11 has better value. While the rooms are smaller than B & B Nevsky, Kazanskaya 11 is more modern, has no clutter, normal beds that tall people can fit on, and more toilet and shower facilities, and the location is almost as good, yet the neighborhood is quieter, so you should not be affected as much by the local street noise.

This facility is on a different, lower level compared to the new mini-hotels that have recently opened. Kazanskaya 11 is appropriate for the budget adult traveller who does not mind sharing toilet/shower facilities.
