BOW Hotel on Nevsky 136

The experience wasn't great. The location was convenient, yes, but the rest... The room was dirty and old, there wasn't a single chair (and there was nowhere to put one), so you had to eat on the bed, which was incredibly uncomfortable. The shower smelled damp, and there was mold on the ceiling. I understand it was economy class, but it wasn't that bad. The hair dryer was terrible. The refrigerator was so loud it was impossible to sleep; we had to turn it off at night. Overall, we'll never come back here again and certainly won't recommend it to anyone!

Good hotel for the price Good: cheap for the city center, clean, friendly staff, great location. Bad: the rooms are not very well sound-proofed, the bed was rather lumpy, and be sure to bring mosquito repellent in summer months.
