St. Petersburg B&Bs: FAQ
What is a bed and breakfast in St. Petersburg?
There is no official categorization of "bed and breakfast" as an accommodation type or business model in Russia. Businesses that choose to advertise as B&Bs range from budget small hotels, the main distinguishing feature of which is shared bathrooms, to homestays with very friendly and welcoming hosts. In our listings, we give preference to the latter category of St. Petersburg bed and breakfast, and try to make it very clear exactly what you can expect from each property.

What's the advantage of booking at a "professional" B&B?
As in almost any other city in the world, it is of course possible to find accommodation in St. Petersburg via Airbnb or other home-sharing resources. While such sites can offer great value for money and some truly original accommodation, it is worth noting that many of the properties listed for St. Petersburg are simply commercial ventures, with managers renting downtown apartments specifically to sub-let to travellers. In other words, if you are looking for more homely accommodation and personal interaction with the owner or host, you may actually be better off booking at one of the recommended "professional" properties we list on this website.
