About this hotel
Hotel Polustrovo packs more into a budget rate than almost anything else on this list: three restaurants, a sauna, a fitness centre and loaner bikes for exploring the immediate neighbourhood without booking a taxi for every short trip. The business centre tag makes it a genuine working base too, useful for a traveller stacking meetings against a Pulkovo departure. At 45 minutes from Pulkovo, it sits on the longer side of the district, a trade worth making for the sheer range of amenities on offer. Free breakfast and parking, accessible rooms and a smoke-free policy round out a property built for a longer, more settled stay than a single overnight.
- Three restaurants
- Sauna
- Loaner bikes
- Business centre
Our take
I would choose Polustrovo for real amenities, a working business centre and a place to eat without leaving the property, on a stay long enough to justify the 45-minute run to Pulkovo. The loaner bikes add something over several nights. If you need the shortest airport transfer possible, another hotel on this list will serve you better.
- Borrow a bike on your first full day to get a feel for the neighbourhood rather than booking a taxi for every trip.
- Book the sauna the evening before an early Pulkovo flight, since morning slots fill up with other departing guests.
- Use the business centre for any pre-departure admin rather than trying to do it from your room on a laptop.
Why we love it
- Three restaurants on site, unusual at this rate
- A genuine sauna alongside the fitness centre
- Loaner bikes for exploring the neighbourhood
- A business centre for working travellers
Why guests love itLoaner bikes are what I would point a family to at Hotel Polustrovo: on a multi-night stay in Saint Petersburg they make exploring the neighbourhood easy. Three restaurants on site, plus Restaurant Almond a minute's walk away, keep meals simple, and the sauna suits adults at the end of the day. Accessible rooms are available, and the taxi to Pulkovo Airport takes about 45 minutes, so I would leave early for a flight.
