Hotel Dom Dostoevskogo

St Petersburg


While it's hard to imagine Fedya living anywhere so sanitary, he apparently resided in this house next to the Griboyedov Canal between 1861 and 1863. The 10 carpeted rooms here are comfortable but plain, and range from spacious to tiny, but the price is right. There’s free tea and coffee throughout your stay and a fan in the room to keep you cool.
