Piter Review

"Piter" is the affectionate way residents refer to St. Petersburg (it's pronounced "Peter," even though it's spelled with an i). This small new hotel on the north side of the Neva River has a good quality-to-price ratio, and its proximity to the metro renders the distance from the heart of town almost irrelevant. Each guest room is decorated slightly differently, all in a basic Scandinavian style. The rooms are mid-size but the bathrooms are compact and offer showers only. On the ground floor, however, there's a sauna with Jacuzzi and small pool meant for a cool plunge after a hot steam -- and a billiards table if you get a post-swim urge. European tourists fill the rooms much of the year. Local businessmen rent the billiards room and sauna for evening parties.

Facilities:
Cafe for breakfast; Jacuzzi; sauna

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
