Which district to choose for accommodation in Saint Petersburg?

Choosing a neighbourhood for accommodation in St Petersburg, as you will see, is fairly easy.

St Petersburg is a safe city, so any part of the city is safe. The city is very large, with 18 districts.

So I’m going to concentrate on two areas of the central district where I recommend staying in Saint Petersburg: Tsentralny and Admiralteysky

The city centre: the Tsentralny and Admiralteysky districts

The two most central districts, where the majority of tourist attractions are to be found, are Tsentralny (which means city centre) and Admiralteysky (where the Admiralty is located). These are the areas with the best public transport links, but if you stay in the centre, you can walk to many tourist attractions.

For short stays, these are the best choices. What’s more, this is where you’ll find the largest range of hotels and flats in the city.

Here are the best hotels in these areas of St Petersburg:

Upmarket hotels in St Petersburg

Petro Palace Hotel: Located in the heart of St Petersburg, the Petro Palace Hotel offers high quality services to its guests. These include an indoor swimming pool and gym, perfect for spending time when you’re not exploring the city.

Past guests have described the hotel as excellent, and it has the advantage of being within walking distance of a metro station. This means you can get from A to B in no time! See availability and prices on Booking.com.

❤️ MFK Gornyi: MFK Gornyi is an amazing place to stay in St Petersburg! There are plenty of cafes and restaurants waiting for guests.

To make sure you can get a room in this hotel, you should book it right away, because according to the comments of previous users, this hotel is very popular during the high season. See availability and prices on Booking.com.

What is check-in? This is a Russian law (very outdated if you ask me) that requires every foreigner to register at the immigration office on the first (!) day of arrival. If you’re staying in a hotel, they do the whole procedure for you. But if you’re staying in a flat, you’ll probably have to deal with it yourself.
