Fregat Hotel   K They have a nice suite and a comfortable lobby, but the location is very poor.  
St. Petersburg, Russia   Phone: 7 (812) 114-9168

Rates: Double 420 rubles ($14); triple 630 rubles ($21); half luxury 1200 rubles ($40); luxury suite 1500 rubles ($50).

Location Rating: Very poor. The neighborhood is absolutely awful. Very depressing, and far away from the excitement. This hotel was also not easy to find. It's off of the main road behind some other big, tall, ugly apartment buildings. A port and the Gulf Of Finland are nearby. But you can't see any water from this location.

Proximity To The Metro: Poor. From Narvskaya Metro Station we took the 66 mini-bus. If you decide to walk to the metro, it will be a very dull walk.

Lobby Appearance: The first lobby you see is plain. The hotel is located on the sixth floor. And behind the entryway door was a surprising atmosphere. It was warm in appearance. I had expected much worse based upon the neighborhood. The corridors and lobby are clean and modern.

Room Appearance: Fairly plain. I would only recommend the suite. It was the nicest and had a modern bathroom. The half luxury suite was okay too, but the bathroom area, although modern, did not seem as nice. The double I saw had no bathroom.

Useful Nearby Businesses: I didn't see anything nearby. The area looks fairly dead.

Hotel Restaurants: None.

Other Amenities: None.

Would I Stay Here? I don't think so. I like the warmth of this small hotel. It has a nice atmosphere inside. But the neighborhood views are just too punishing for me. And it is too isolated.

Staff Speaks English? No.

Comments: The neighborhood has a ghetto feel to it. I would be depressed to live among the residents here.
