Guest reviews
Arriving in such a historically interesting and beautiful place, I want to keep the mood for the entire period of stay here. Of course, the easiest way to do this is in the chic interiors of "star" hotels, but funds for such luxury are not always found. Therefore, one has to look for more affordable options, so to speak, affordable. You need to understand that you can’t count on certain amenities and high-class service in an economy-class hotel, especially if part of the staff is just studying. Although this is a pretty good option for students or state employees who come to St. Petersburg. The Yunost Hotel, the photo of which speaks of a quite convenient location and picturesque surrounding buildings, fully corresponds to the declared qualities, as evidenced by the reviews of guests. They note quite comfortable rooms, equipped with everything necessary, and diligent service by students who have a lack of experience is replaced by a zeal for work. In addition, recently renovations were carried out here, which also had a positive effect on the appearance.
Pros and cons of living
St. Petersburg, being the self-proclaimed northern capital of Russia and one of the largest domestic cities, cannot boast of low accommodation prices for visitors. Therefore, many people who want to join the historical sights lack of funds stops from a trip to St. Petersburg. Hotel "Youth", characterized by low prices, can offer quite comfortable rooms to everyone. Another undoubted advantage of the institution is its location. The proximity of most historical monuments and attractions, large shops and a metro station is a definite advantage.
The disadvantages are still not the most comfortable rooms - the lack of a refrigerator, TV and a bathroom in standard rooms, which make up the lion's share of rooms of other categories, makes the hotel look more like a hostel. But do not forget that the institution belongs to the economy class, so it is difficult to demand more in terms of convenience.
It is difficult to decide whether it is a merit or a drawback of the fact that students take part in servicing guests. Of course, a lack of experience can lead to some incidents, but young people can see more zeal for work and reverence for those who live, which completely covers some possible inconveniences.
Thus, one of the good establishments of the hotel chain of such a city as St. Petersburg is the Yunost Hotel. Reviews about her work, although they differ in their opinions, nevertheless they speak of a rather acceptable quality of service and the availability of everything necessary for a short stay.
