It is also very cool that right in the room there is a kitchen - you can not splurge on expensive restaurants, but eat inexpensively and at home.
Also very good service at the front desk.
Keeping in mind the high season, we began to look for a suitable hotel for a very long time, as much as two and a half months!
We had the following requirements for a hotel: a reasonable price for a room, a convenient location in the center, a comfortable room with all modern amenities.
Looking through online booking sites, we soon realized that the best option would be to stay in some mini-hotel in the city center.
We compiled a list of mini-hotels that met these requirements and began to call them and visit their websites. Most of all, we were interested in the discount system and special offers of the Akme mini-hotel. Bookings more than 2 months in advance receive a 15 percent discount. It was just right for us!
For those who are interested, I will immediately say that in St. Petersburg there are two Akme mini-hotels, positioning themselves as three-star hotels, and one Akme apart-hotel. We were not interested in the apartments, so we chose a mini-hotel on Malaya Morskaya 7. The main and most important "trick" - the advantage of the hotel - its location in the historical center of the city, in the "Golden Triangle" in a couple of minutes walk from the main street Nevsky avenue and 15 minutes from the Moscow railway station.
We easily reached the Hermitage, the Russian Museum, St. Isaac's Cathedral, and reached the Summer Garden. My friend, who loves to read, visited the House of the Book, next to the Gostiny Dvor metro station.
Overall ten points out of ten for the location!
The mini-hotel has three types of rooms: standard, economy and comfort. Standards and economy have all been booked. Still high season! ! But we did not regret for a second that we had booked a more expensive comfort. Its cost is 6000 rubles. for two per night (high season)
Spacious room, decorated in pleasant green tones, with air conditioning, TV, telephone with city access, kettle, and hair dryer, and included in the price a light breakfast and daily thorough cleaning - all this was certainly worth the money. And yes, I almost forgot! Couldn't be happier with the free
Wifi in the room. This allowed my friend and I to continue to work in the same rhythm - after all, we came to St. Petersburg not only as tourists, but also on business.
The 24-hour reception and extremely polite, sensitive and always ready to help administrators fully compensated for such “deprivations” as a mini-bar, free bathrobes and slippers. But there's nothing you can do about it, since most mini-hotels are still equated with three-star ones. But when we needed an iron, it was provided to us at all times along with an ironing board. And special thanks to the lovely receptionist Lena, who gave us her umbrella when we were late for a meeting, and there was a real downpour outside the window.
By the way, for those who do not tolerate tobacco smoke (like me), this place will seem ideal - smoking is prohibited in all Akme hotels!
It was very sad to leave! We spent four nights at the hotel and got used to our room and staff very much.
In general, a good option for those who care about the convenient location of the hotel and good rooms.
We were very satisfied and will definitely come again, as we were given a Loyal Guest Card. As they explained to us, with each arrival, 10% of the cost is returned to the card))
We stayed at the mini-hotel Akme on Malaya Morskaya7
Liked. Traveled with wife and kids. To be honest, we thought it would be worse... And there is air conditioning and breakfasts to choose from... and cakes and pastries are fresh, delicious. )
The staff is friendly, helped us with everything, and with excursions and booked a table in a restaurant.
Moreover, we visited this city during the white nights…
Come to Petersburg! there is no such beauty in Russia anymore. . (
the only negative on Morskaya is a narrow elevator, we went twice, because we had so many things with our children.
As it always happens, pragmatics inexorably intervened in romance. Vacation, alas, did not coincide with the date on which our wedding was scheduled. So our honeymoon, along with tickets to sunny Ibiza, had to be postponed for a month.
But, nevertheless, Masha and I wanted our wedding night to be remembered for a long time.
We looked at a bunch of hotel websites with honeymoon rooms before we found what we liked - mini-hotel Akme on Rubinshteyna 23. The photos of the wedding decoration of the rooms were amazing and my fiancee liked it, and I liked the reasonable prices of wedding packages and we decided go and see for yourself.
We were greeted very friendly by the receptionist and showed us the available rooms. My fiancee, as a very passionate person, at first liked the Gatchina room, decorated in rich bright red colors, but then we settled on the Peterhof suite. It was much larger and personally I was insanely pleased with the air conditioner. A chic bed and a jacuzzi inspired even such a cracker as me. What can I say about my girlfriend! She was delighted! We booked rooms and were immediately offered to complete all the formalities, from payment to filling out all the paperwork that usually needs to be filled out upon arrival. To be very thoughtful! It is unlikely that the tired bride and groom are eager to fill out questionnaires after the wedding!
We expressed our wishes regarding fruits, chocolates and champagne, as well as the decoration of the room, and left, looking forward to a great holiday. And we were not disappointed: everything was just great. My Masha liked everything: from the heart of rose petals on the bed to the beautifully lit jacuzzi with candles! Chilled champagne and fruit came in handy as never before. As it always happens, the restless toastmaster didn’t let anyone eat calmly =))) I’ll omit all the most interesting)) and end with a story about a delicious breakfast that the receptionist girl brought us to bed in the morning. By the way, after that we were able to lie in bed, as we had a late check-out. In general, everything was just great!! ! I advise!
In the mornings, delicious breakfasts were brought to our room, and after refreshing ourselves, we went on an excursion to the city! By the way, excursions can also be ordered directly from the hotel, but we decided to walk around and see for ourselves, especially since, thanks to the good location of the hotel, we could always return there and take a break!
We are very grateful to Akme for the hospitality, we will definitely come back to you again!
