Nice hotel away from the tourist throngs
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Tradition Hotel. It was clean, comfortable, attractive and affordable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The front desk staff spoke well English, and were able to give us useful tips on where to buy specific items and interesting places to eat. The location was perfect for us, being central to the districts where we wanted be as well as a short bus ride (or longer walk) from the Palace Square and the Historic centre of St. Petersburg. The proximity to the Fortress and Alexander Park made for pleasant evening strolls. There are lots of nice restaurants and cafes in the neighbourhood, as well the stores where Locals shop. If you want to spend time among the Russian people rather than the tourists, this is a better choice of hotel than those on or near Nevsky Prospekt.

Great stay for price!
Great location! Great staff! Very clean albeit dated hotel. If you are looking for spacious but not pricey and ok with not luxurious this is your place. Vey roomy and beds were ok too. Breakfast was good but not the best, but the staff took so much care in making it beautiful from the China to the tablecloths. I would not get with breakfast and eat elsewhere. Location phenomenal and very very clean!

Great hotel, right across the river from the Winter Palace, and right by Sts. Peter and Paul fortress. Beds were European style - with two twin mattresses put together, though.

Great location - but a little noisy
Location: It is only a 20 minutes walk to the main sites of the city, Peter+Paul fortress is a 5 min walk away; Rooms are clean, ok in size and quality; Staff: Very freindly and helpful; The choice of breakfast was not plentiful but ok; Unfortunatley, the rooms were quite noisy during the night as they face to the main street

Nice big room at a good price
We stayed at Tradition hotel in October. It was very cool but we were lucky and missed the rain. The Hotel needs a modern revamp, but it still nice anyway. The bed was big, we stayed on level 1 and had fresh water, tea and coffee supplied to us daily. St Petersburg seems to be under renovation while we were there and this is true of the neighbourhood around the hotel. The hotel was about a 30 minute walk from the train stations. (the one where you catch the train to/from Helsinki and the one where you catch the train to Moscow we walked to both). It is 15 minute walk to Peter and Paul Fortress and about a 20 minute walk to Neveski prospect and Winter Palace. The staff were all friendly and the shower products include soap, shampoo and conditioner. It includes wifi, but we did not use as someone else mentioned being hacked while using wifi in Russia. We thought it was good value for what we got.

Very positive experience
I was very satisfied with the hotel – immaculately clean, nicely furnished, very well positioned, friendly staff. I found the breakfast to be a little overpriced, but it being optional one can easily opt out. The overall experience was absolutely positive. Highly recommend

Great place for a quick trip to St P!
The hotel is a great small hotel with clean rooms and a comfortable bed. The location is great, about 10 minute walk to the Hermitage Museum, and a little away from the main Nevsky Prospekt. Recomend 100%.

Enjoyed the stay in St Petersburg
Tradition Hotel is located at the River end of the main road through St Petersburg. Our room faced a main road but the windows were double glassed and the noise wasn't an issue for us. The windows also opened to allow fresh air. Across the road was the river and the Hermitage was directly opposite. The hotel was within walking distance of all the main tourist sites. If you really wanted to, you could also walk to the main train stations at the other end of the main road (Nevsky Prospekt). Breakfast was included and catered for all tastes. The staff spoke English and smiled!

Tradition Hotel St Petersburg...Must stay here!!!
We stayed here for one night and it was the perfect base to explore the beautiful city of St Petersburg. The hotel was really gorgeous, spotlessly clean, lovey decor amd super comfortable beds. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the breakfast was just right to set us up for our journey the following day. We couldn't fault this charming boutique style hotel and at the very reasonable prices, this will be our only choice of hotel in St Petersburg when we return.

Great Stay
Had a great experience with the hotel and staff. There was some construction in front of the hotel and it was not that centrally located to the main attractions (a bit of a walk). All in all it was a pleasant stay and would recommend to others.

Highly recommend and for sure will go back
The staffs are friendly, helpful. Hotel very clean, good breakfast and location is 10 mins walk to Metro. They help us to dry the clothings and shoes after heavy rain even we already check out and provide tea and snack while waiting for taxi pick up. We do like to thanks all the staff and the Manager who help me to carry luggage to taxi. Hope to see them all very soon.

Great Value and Comfortable Too
The rooms at the Tradition hotel are clean and comfortable. The bath is well done and includes a shower but no tub. The breakfast was included and very good though the breakfast room good get crowded. The hotel is on two floors and you must walk up to the second floor if your room is there no elevator). The only slight drawback was location. It is on the Petrograd side very close to the Peter and Paul Fortress. It will take about 15 or 20 minutes to cross the Neva River to get to the Hermitage and the sights in Central St. Petersburg. There is a water taxi stop very close to the hotel but the nearest metro station is 10 minutes or so away. We spent 5 days there in September 2011 and enjoyed the hotel very much. No hesitation about recommending.

Fantastic hotel in a lovely location
We loved everything about our stay in St Petersburg. The facilities were great and the room was really comfortable and clean. The breakfast was lovely and the staff were very helpful. Although it is a 20 min walk to the Winter Palace, the location was fab and it was very close to lots of other sights. We would definitely come back here again.

good value in SPB
I loved the feel of the hotel. It does not overlook the water though as it appeared in the photos. The hotel is on the street side ONLY. Their is no elevator as well, but we knew that in advance. I have nothing negative to say about the hotel other than we had a mix up with regards to my son staying in a roll away with us and they tried to charge us additional for that upon our arrival although I had previous confirmation that would not be the case. It all worked out in the end and they did what the reservation said.

Tradition Hotel - Convenient and comfortable
The Hotel is on the edge of the city centre and its a scenic stroll into town centre across 2 bridges. Its a small but very comfortable hotel. The neighbourhood felt safe. The excellent staff are very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The room was quite small but nice and the bed was about the most comfortable I've slept in. Great location, the view across the river at sunset as the floodlights light up the bridges and buildings across the river is spectacular! Would recommend the hotel to anyone, so long as you don't mind a short walk into the city.

Recommend in the fall or spring
The Tradition is a beautiful small hotel with comfortable rooms and helpful and friendly staff. I would give it a ten in terms of quality. The problem is that it is a good thirty minute walk to the Hermitage and it was very hot and humid. We were soaking wet with sweat when we walked to the museum each day. The neighborhood is safe but not really very nice. The park across the street is nice. The price is reasonable and the breakfast was excellent. We stayed in four hotels this trip and we liked the Tradition the best.

Great small hotel. Friendly and helpful staff.
Everything was perfect at the Tradition Hotel unless you want to be in the middle of the tourist area. We were able to cross the river by boat which was fine. The staff is friendly and helpful. Anton, the manager is terrific. We would definitely return.

Superb hotel, just be aware that it is a long walk
Superb hotel, just be aware that it is a long walk from the Hermitage and then even longer from Nevsky prospect. With the snow and wind added in, it makes for a long walk. 20 mins to Hermitage and more to Nevsky Prospect. The hotel is very good, has very helpful and friendly staff. The breakfast they laid out is generous. We checked-in and checked-out at very odd hours but there was always someone at reception to make sure that everything went smoothly. They were very helpful in arranging transport, getting information and finding a lost mitten!

Pleased with our choice
All employees were very friendly, and importantly, they spoke enough English to communicate effectively with my boyfriend and I, who don't speak any Russian. The location, while not as central as some hotels, offers beautiful views of downtown St. Petersburg, across the canal.

Tradition Hotel sets a new standard.
Lovely renovation, Quality furnishings. Great location. Great breakfast. Friendly and courteous staff. Only negative is that ouur room smelled of smore, although this was a non-smoking hotel. Seems that the smoke comes from the tenant (not connected with the hotel) above our room and seeps through the ventilation system. Will return to this hotel. Great value.

Good location and English speaking friendly
The Tradition was a great find. The breakfast was amazing, the rooms were really nice with comfortable beds. Free wifi made things convenient. The hotel claims to be fluent in English and is, unlike other places we stayed while in Russia. You can walk to almost all of the major sites in St. Petersburg from the location. We have already recommended this hotel to friends that may be visiting St. Petersburg in the near future.

Barest minimum
Outside of hotel was being repaired and we had to go under scaffolding and through a muddy and unpaved street to reach the front door. No elevator and no help in getting suitcases from second floor to front door when checking out. Room clean but small-no window view- and little space for suitcases. Desk clerks, though they spoke English, did not always understand our questions and gave us poor advice about public transportation. Walk to Hermitage about 1/2 hours through cold winds and heavy traffic. Not a hotel for the weak of body.

Very disappointed
Hotel was small and had work going on outside, I was very disappointed and the hotel was clearly nowhere near a 4 star hotel. Room didn't have a bath and there was a drainage smell coming from the shower - apparently the hotel was 'fully booked' and we couldn't move rooms. I would NOT recommend this hotel to anyone who is expecting a 4 star.

Excellent and reasonably priced
We had an enjoyable stay at the Tradition Hotel. The hotel is small and intimate, and has undergone recent rennovation. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, close to tram and bus stops. The air conditioned room was very welcome at the end of a long day tramping around Saint Petersburg on foot in record breaking heat. The room was equiped with a coffee corner, complimentary chocolates, bathrobes and slippers. The breakfast buffet included fresh fruits, yogurt, croissants and rolls, ham, cheese, eggs and cereals. The Tradition was quite reasonably priced compared to the hotels around the Nevsky Prospect.

Gemütliches Hotel direkt bei Peter und Paul
Das Hotel ist recht gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Zimmer sind nicht sehr gross, jedoch sehr sauber. Mein Zimmer war leider gegen die Hauptstrasse ausgerichtet, dies bedeutete doch recht viel Verkehrslärm auch in der Nacht. Die Lage des Hotels ist etwas abseits vom ÖV aber an touristisch sehr interessantem Ort, der Peter und Paul Festung. Am nächsten befindet sich die Metro Station "Sportiwnaja - Спорти́вная".
