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.
