Dvorets Molodezhi Hotel (also referred to as LDM Hotel)  K    St. Petersburg, Russia 
Phone: 7 (812) 234-3278

Rates For Foreigners: Single room with no TV $48; double room with TV $52; sixth floor 2 room doubles $120. Only the rooms on the sixth floor have been updated.

Location Rating: Poor. The surrounding area is dull and the location is a good hike away from the metro.

Proximity To Metro: Poor. A 20 minute walk to Petrogradskaya Metro Station.

Lobby Appearance: Interesting, because there is a major indoor entertainment center there.

Room Appearance: Very basic. Carpets need replacement. Bathrooms, especially the shower areas, were unattractive. The only floor in this building that has been updated is the sixth floor. The corridor is nicer. As for the 6th floor rooms, even though they have been recently updated, they still didn't seem that nice to me. And Tanya felt the same way.

Useful Nearby Businesses: Inside the same building is quite a large entertainment center. There are numerous pool tables, numerous Russian billiards tables, many video games, pinball machines, air hockey and miniature golf (old looking). They also have quite a nice bowling alley (looks brand new). And a room with gambling machines.

Hotel Restaurants: There is a nice looking restaurant, a few bar areas, a cafe where you can enjoy a "sharmeerva" and a small nightclub called Third Planet which, in my opinion, has a weird, distasteful and OFFENSIVE decor. Geez! - I can't believe they highlight this nightclub in their hotel brochure. Absolutely tasteless.

Other Amenities: You can buy flowers near the front entryway.

Would I Stay Here? I would prefer not to.

Staff Speaks English? No.

Comments: As I entered the front entryway, hot, unpleasant smelly air was blown into my face. So you need to hold your breath when you walk in the door. The entertainment area has a certain level of excitement in the air, but the hotel facility was a disappointment. The front desk was not polite and they did not seem motivated to provide good customer service. I would not like to stay in their older rooms. The newer rooms I thought were just so so, and I think the price of $120 is a greedy sum for what you get. The neighborhood is quiet and dull, with nothing beautiful or interesting to look at. And the metro is a hike. But as you walk to the metro, the surroundings gradually become more interesting. Petrogradskya Metro Station is located in an old, and very interesting part of the city. Lots of people, shops and cafes and everything else. The Dvorets Molodezhi might be an okay place to have a conference because of the interesting entertainment facility. But this is not the greatest place to spend a night.
