Opposite the childhood home of Vladimir Nabokov is this very
pleasant, friendly mini-hotel at the end of an impressive old staircase. There are just
five rooms here: three have their own bathrooms and air-con, while two share facilit-
ies and are fan-cooled. All rooms are tastefully decorated and include cable TV and
DVD players.

This fantastically located hotel is part of the Nevsky Hotels chain (

) and is in one of the city centre's most charming streets, just one block
back from the Neva River. The 33 rooms are comfortable and simple, all with private
bathrooms but without fridges. It's thoroughly contemporary inside, and little mileage
is made out of the historic building, but despite this it's a very popular choice.

DOSTOEVSKY HOUSE HOTEL €€
Sennaya Ploshchad; )
Dostoevsky lived in this house next to Kanal Griboyedova
between 1861 and 1863, although it's probably far nicer here than it was when he set
Crime and Punishment
in the surrounding streets. The 10 rooms here are comfortable
but plain, and range from spacious to tiny. There's free tea and coffee throughout your
stay and a fan in the room to keep you cool.

GRAFFITI HOSTEL €
R2000; Sennaya Ploshchad; )
You should have no trouble finding this new hostel.
Its fabulously painted exterior sets it apart, and it looks more like a contemporary art
installation than a place to bed down for the night. The interior is far more simple -
basic, even - but the shared bathrooms are clean enough and some even have views of
St Isaac's Cathedral from their balconies!
