The Polo Regatta Hotel on the Gulf of Finland

Is the Oberoi too classy for you? How about this?

An unusual hotel in the shape of a ship at Saint Petersburg, Russia. It is at a dock facing the Gulf of Finland. An ocean liner can be seen docked in front of the 3 star hotel. Many reviews say the rooms are dirty and air condition cranky but many liked the Soviet era ambiance. To each, his or her own own. You’ve been warned.
