There are many large and small hotels in St. Petersburg, so it is quite easy to find accommodation for yourself during your trip. Of course, finding an economy hotel in the city center can be quite difficult.
How to choose a hotel
First of all, decide on the purpose of your trip. If you are going to St. Petersburg for tourist purposes, you can choose a hotel in any area of the city, as long as there are public transport stops nearby. A business trip is a completely different matter. In this case, the hotel should be located near the venues of business meetings, which limits the search area.
Decide on the desired hotel costs. Please note that the cheapest accommodation option will be a hostel. This is a European-style hostel in which you can spend the night for little money, usually the bathroom in such establishments is shared, and guests are rented out sleeping places in the common rooms. If you are traveling to St. Petersburg with a large company, you can rent a whole room, this will save you from communicating and living in the same territory with strangers, while such an accommodation option for a large company will be much cheaper than a hotel one. The cheapest hostels in St. Petersburg will cost you about six hundred to seven hundred rubles per night for a bed. You can find options on booking.com or agoda.ru
If comfort and privacy are important to you, and the idea of staying in a hostel does not cause delight, you can try to find budget hotels in St. Petersburg using the same sites. The cheapest options start at around 1,500 per night.
Useful Tips
The specified hotel search services allow you to select hotels according to the required parameters. You can specify the price range, the amenities that should be in the room, the location of the hotel, the availability of breakfast and much more as criteria. All of this affects the final cost of a hotel room, so think carefully about what is more important to you - saving money or spending a few days in comfort.
Evaluate your capabilities soberly. For little money, it is difficult to find a hotel in the city center with secure parking and all the amenities for the price of a bed in a hostel. Before booking an inexpensive, comfortable room in a hotel on the outskirts, consider whether you are ready to spend a significant amount of time to get to your destination from there.
If you have selected several of the most suitable options, but you still have questions, be sure to ask them by email or phone. Contact information is usually listed on hotel websites.
Try to plan your trip in advance, in which case you may find great deals, as many hotels offer discounts for early bookings.
