Original Sokos Hotel Olympia Garden

Stayed at the hotel one day for a business conference. Found the staff to be extremely cooperative and the hotel to be comfortable and efficient. We had a small Christmas party in the evening, the arrangement from hotel was perfect and we all had a very good time. - Saunakrai

The hotel is large, very modern, there was a sports bar inside and a nice restaurant, the lifts were fast. The rooms and bathroom were very modern, nice timber floors. The beds were very comfortable and the towels were nice and large.

 

It is off a busy boulevard so there wasn't too much noise from our room. it is opposite a mini-mart/shop. As we traveled as a large tour group we handed our passports into reception for the legal process of them registering us - we collected this the next day/later that night. So the check-in process for us wasn't too much of an issue.

St Petersburg was a lot larger then I imagined it to be, location wise it was OK, there was a metro nearby which we didn't attempt to take, but did walk to the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood - this took us about 40 minutes each way.

 

Staff were nice, some new some English and others didn't no much, there is a tourist desk where they can book tickets and excursions for you. - ozinlondon08

I stayed here for three nights during a conference trip to Saint Petersburg. The bed was very comfortable, the shower strong and hot, the furnishings all of solid quality. The wifi was outstanding: fast and reliable. 

It was a little early in the year for the trees to be out, but the adjacent garden would be lovely in the spring and summer. Easy access to a number of subway stops make it simple to get anywhere in the city from here. - crisewing

Everything you need for business or leisure. Staff, facilities, food,comfort. Highly recommend. One more very pleasant thing we had - room upgrade for free, thanks to the duty manager on the reception. Hotel is a little far away from city center, but it's not a big problem. - Irina N

I stayed at the Sokos Hotel Olympia Garden nearly two weeks during the Ice Hockey World Championships in St. Petersburg in May 2016. 

 

The hotel has a good location and is close to the centre. It has a couple restaurants to choose from for dinner. Hotel wi-fi worked well for me and I managed to do my work just perfectly which includes uploading big files online.

 

Breakfast is good and has a large selection to choose from. Over all, I was very pleased with my stay and will stay in this hotel when I will visit St. Petersburg again. 

 

I also would like to say thank you for the friendly staff for their hospitality. - anujanina
