Reviews of Mini Hotel PIO - Nevsky

24 June 2011 James would recommend this property

Liked: Central, clean, modernised and secure. Svetlana is a charming home mother. Hostel great for people who enjoy a home-stay type experience.

Disliked: Very central but tricky to find, even for our taxi driver. Mostly due to nearby roadworks though.

Liked: This hostel was a pleasant surprise!! It is more like a mini hotel rather than a hostel, the staff were very friendly, helpful and spoke excellent English. The hotel is decorated very nicely and our room was huge with our own bathroom!! The hotel had lots of nice little touches like slippers on arrival and breakfast ready for you at your specified time!! I would def recommend staying here or at their sister hostel which looked nice also!!HOWEVER; I would not book with hostelbookers again as PIO had no record of our booking and the automatic response the website sends you had not come from the hotel. We had initially booked to stay at their sister hostle and on arrival it was closed and undergoing a refurb! This was not a good start after landing in Russia that night and thinking we had planned everything in advance!!! The hotel were lovely though and paid for us to get a taxi to their other hotel where we were met and given a large lovely roomf or the same price!! I will not be using hostelbookers again!!!

Liked: PIO is a great place! I highly recommend it if you're looking for someplace quiet and in the heart of St. Petersburg. They have two locations; both of them are in convenient areas in the historic heart of the city. I saw both hotels and they look exactly like the photos- everything is adorable! This isn't necessarily a place you'd want to go to party or get wild; instead, it's a nice place for families, women traveling alone (like me), or people who are looking to experience the cultural heart of the city without going too crazy. My room overlooked the main street, but it was still very quiet. The breakfast was very good and you get about 5 or 6 options. The staff bent over backwards to accommodate me. They were very knowledgeable about the city and had tons of recommendations for things to do. I highly recommend this hotel!!

22 September 2008 Luc Junior would recommend this property

Liked: The only thing we liked about the hostel was the nice location and the Ikeafurnitured rooms. Svetlana, the manager of the hostel, is probably one of the most unfriendly Russians we have met during our whole stay in Saint Petersburg and Moscow. She gives a bad flow in the hostel and makes the beginning of your day not a pleasant one. Pio, the Italian boss of the hostel, is on the other hand a real nice man. Unfortunately he isn't there that often. For the rest: the shower works only for about ten minutes (energy saving), you have to pay a unreasaonable extra high price if you want to use the internet (to check e-mails for instance) and the breakfast you get served is really untasty.

10 September 2008 Paul would recommend this property

Liked: From the look of the outside we were very concerned but once inside we were very pleasently surprised. The rooms were big, clean and very comfortable. The bathrooms were all very clean and modern. Breakfast was included which was very nice with a good choice all prepared by the staff. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Probably one of the best we've stayed in.
