“Stylish and friendly, family run mini-hotel. Large elegant bedrooms boast sash windows and heavy curtains. Centrally located in a sought after building which used to house great Russian writers and thinkers. Excellent value and personal friendly service. Perfect for a city mini break.”

Hotel review

St Petersburg’s best-kept secret. Close to the Hermitage and St Isaac’s Cathedral, Casa Leto is an intimate, chic mini-hotel with unusually large rooms. Owned by an Anglo-Russian couple, it has received glowing reviews. The very reasonable room rates include breakfast, phone calls and internet connection. The hotel also provides competitively priced packages, tours, transfers and a full travel support service. Local hotels don’t get more charming than this.

Casa Leto St Petersburg, Russia

"This family-run property is cosiness defined: homely yet spacious rooms, a comfy bar, and film-shoot decor. It has a superb location next to the Hermitage and offers great value for money."
