Russia Travel Guide In large Russian cities, especially Moscow and St. Petersburg, visitors have a range of options for accommodations, although not as many as you might expect for a country this size. Hotels include Western chains that are four- or five-star (with accompanying prices), as well as smaller hotels that are reasonably priced, clean and in good locations for tourist sites. Sometimes your hotel will be able to arrange your visa for you, and often can provide transportation from the airport, rail station or dock.
Intourist is now a joint stock company but in Soviet times was the state-owned travel agency with a monopoly over the tourist industry. There are still Intourist hotels around Russia and other CIS countries and they are trying to escape their dreary planned-economy interior decorating, but not always successfully. Intourist can book hotel rooms for you in St. Petersburg, Moscow and elsewhere in Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG
Book your rooms as soon as you can, because St. Petersburg's hotels are having a hard time keeping up with the two million annual visitors.
Book your rooms through a reputable travel service, such as a travel agency or online service that you trust. If you need the type of comfort that you would find at home, customer service, and lots of amenities that separate you from the world outside, stay in a top-ranked hotel. If you don't mind that things aren't like at home and can make do with some inconvenience or bad decorating, a lower-ranked hotel will work for you. You should make a choice based on your budget, proximity to tourist sites, and flexibility.
The RussianGuideNetwork has reviews by an American for large and small hotels in St. Petersburg, along with practical information (such as whether staff speak English) and photos.
For more reviews and online booking see:

Expedia St. Petersburg hotel list
Apartments
You can rent apartments in St. Petersburg that are equipped with modern furnishings and are ideally located for tourism. Short-term and long-term rentals are possible, with prices as low as US $55 (45 Euro) per night.
Roxana Apartments Apartments are near Nevsky Prospekt and the historical center.
Lodging SPB Apartments range from elite (most expensive) to budget.
MOSCOW
Moscow's hotel choices have certainly improved in the last decade and they will continue to expand. The situation is similar to St. Petersburg's, with demand encroaching on supply.

However, frequencies throughout Europe differ from those used in North America. Your service provider can tell you if your phone is compatible with the German / European system and offer you alternatives if it is not. Network frequencies: EGSM 900 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900 Computers & Internet Bringing a laptop to Germany is simple: most run on both 110 volts, as in North America, or 230 volts, as found throughout Europe. Although the voltage is universal, you will still need an adapter to plug your computer into an electrical outlet. While in Germany, the Internet is easily accessible. You can often log on at your hotel, either right from your room or in computer rooms, and at business centers, which offer internet access to guests. If neither is available, ask your hotel about an Internet café – chances are excellent one is right around the corner! Electric Current Germany uses 230V. Therefore, a converter will be needed in order to use american 110V devices. Climate The climate is similar to that of the North Eastern U.S. The current weather can be found at: http://www.donnerwetter.de/deutschland/menu.hts Money Matters ATMs/ Banks: ATMs are as easily found in Germany as they are in North America. They are located at bank branches and standing alone in shopping, tourist and other busy areas. Major credit and debit cards, along with all other bank cards carrying the PLUS and NYCE symbols, are universally accepted. When located indoors, use your card to gain access if the door is locked, just as you would normally do. Credit Cards: Credit cards are commonly accepted in Germany, although they are not often used for everyday expenses. Restaurants, hotels, stores, train stations and other places regularly frequented by tourists will almost always accept them. Tipping: The bill you receive at a hotel, restaurant, cafe or bar often includes a service charge already. A tip is an indication of your satisfaction – 5% is average, whereas 10% indicates exceptional service. Tip taxi drivers about 5% and porters and others who assist you with baggage one Euro per item. Hours of Business Stores in Germany open between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. Most close between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and Saturday between 6 or 8 p.m.. On Sunday almost all stores are closed, the exceptions being gas stations and convenience stores, which carry some food items as well as snacks and beverages. Banks and post offices are generally open from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and again from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday; some banks have extended hours on Thursday. Pharmacies open at 8 a.m. Museums are generally closed on Mondays. Throughout the year, many cities have a “Long Night of the Museums,” where all the city’s museums are open through the night. VAT Refunds & Tax-Free Shopping Prices for goods and services in Germany always include a 16% value-added tax (VAT). Some or all of the VAT may be refundable for goods purchased at stores displaying the “Tax-Free for Tourists” sign. You will receive a tax-free form upon making a purchase. Before leaving the country and before checking any luggage, present the purchased goods, the tax-free form and your receipt to German customs officials. They will certify the form as proof of legal export. You may then obtain a cash refund at one of the Tax-Free Shopping Service counters located at all major border crossings, airports, ferry ports and train stations.
