This modest hotel in the backstreets of Liteyny has small but adequate rooms, which are clean but lack character. Although it's nothing fancy, the Green Apple is good value for St Petersburg, particularly given the excellent location within walking distance of many restaurants and bars. Most staff don't speak much English.
Those on a tight budget should check out the ekonom (economy) rooms, which sleep up to three people (the third bed is on a mezzanine).
