We stayed at the Dell Arte Hotel from December 26th to 29th, 2024. We booked in advance, primarily attracted by the location (a 5-minute walk from Moskovsky Station and the metro, with public transportation nearby) and the price (we paid just over 5,000 rubles for a three-day stay, including an early check-in fee). I'll say right away that we weren't disappointed, so after finding exclusively negative reviews from previous guests on this website, I wanted to give it a try. Firstly, all our requests expressed during booking were taken into account. Secondly, they allowed us an early check-in, and we were already in our room by 8 a.m., giving us the opportunity to rest, freshen up, and spend a full day exploring our favorite city. The room is a comfortable double, with excellent beds and mattresses, crisp white linens and towels, and extra pillows were provided upon request, making our sleep very comfortable. The bathroom is also in excellent condition, odor-free, and everything is spotlessly clean. We had a room facing Nevsky Prospekt, which didn't bother us; it even added a touch of character. If you want a room facing the courtyard, ask when booking—it's quieter there, but of course, you won't have the same view. Having read reviews, we knew there wasn't a kettle in the room, but there's a very cozy dining room on the second floor (for those ordering breakfast) with a kettle, toaster, and microwave available for use. There's a kitchen on the fifth floor with electric stoves and some kitchenware. We brought our own cutlery, coffee cups, and disposable plates to avoid sharing, but the kitchen/dining room also has a minimum of cutlery and plates. Frankly, we weren't particularly keen on cooking, and the kitchen wasn't particularly conducive to it (it resembled a scruffy communal kitchen), but it was perfectly adequate for boiling eggs and sausages, making coffee, and using the dining area to avoid breakfast in the room. Near the hotel, there's a whole arsenal of pastry shops, coffee shops, cafeterias, a pizzeria, and more. The concierges are polite, attentive, and discreet. Cleaning was done regularly. So, if you don't expect 5-star service and swan-shaped towels for the price of economy class, this place won't disappoint. We've definitely made a point of it and will definitely return.
