The Hotel Eurasia opened in May 2003 and has 18 rooms on 4 floors with 5 different types of rooms. There is no elevator. The facility has central air conditioning, and small hangout areas are on the first and fourth floors. The hangout areas were not comfortable looking to me. I liked the lighting in the corridors. I didn't like the lighting in the rooms, but I loved the color combinations of tile in the bathrooms I saw.

The entrance to the hotel is directly from the street and signage makes the hotel easy to locate. Rates are $80 to $110 per night as of 1/27/04. Breakfast is included. There is a possibility to check your email for free, but you can only fiddle with their computer for a few minutes.

In May they will open a new hotel about 2 blocks away. The location of this hotel is in the Petrogradskaya section where the local architecture is interesting.

This hotel was opened in 2002. They have 2 singles, 7 doubles and 4 triples. Prices are good: high season prices range from $32 to $66 as of January 2004. If you want to stay here, you can make your reservation by email or fax. Unfortunately, the hotel does not get involved with registering visas.

The corridor and kitchen have air conditioning. The rooms do not. Rooms with a courtyard view are much quieter than rooms with street views, but the courtyard views are not attractive at all.

The entrance to the hotel was difficult to find. There is no signage whatsoever anywhere. And you will need a code to enter the communal stairwell. The communal stairwell was clean. Inside the hotel, the corridors are nice. The rooms have good bathrooms, but the bedrooms have cheap beds. This is a budget facility. The neighborhood is old and interesting, but a little bit worn down.

If you want to stay here, hire our guide service and we will assist you with visa registration.
