Opinion of travelers
Finding negative reviews about the hotel "903" is almost impossible. Delicious breakfasts, wonderful room equipment, sightseeing views from the window, attentive staff.
Several comments apply only to bathrooms, where guests report weak water pressure and uncomfortable temperatures. Definitely missing a towel dryer and floor heating.
Old Estate Hotel & SPA
Pskov hotels with a swimming pool do not differ in democratic prices. One of the most expensive is the Old Estate Hotel & SPA. The mansion in which the complex is located is an architectural monument of the 16th-19th centuries. Previously, the Heliopark Hotel (Pskov) was located here, but for unknown reasons, the famous chain decided to close its project.
Old Estate offers the following types of rooms:
- double standard;
- improved double;
- studio;
- junior suite;
- luxury.
Regardless of the category, a safe, minibar, cable TV, air conditioning, hairdryer and wireless internet are available to guests.

In the best tradition
On the territory of the hotel there is a restaurant "Aristocrat", where a buffet breakfast is served in the morning, and on weekdays from 12 to 15 o'clock guests can have an inexpensive lunch. At any time, excellent dishes of traditional Russian cuisine are prepared here, and connoisseurs will certainly be interested in a huge selection of collection wines.
To make a real journey through time offers the bar "Rublev", which is located in a unique building - the House of Merchant Statina (XVII century). The interior combines modern furniture and recreated old wall paintings in an original way. Dishes prepared according to real Pskov recipes are served in pottery. Visitors are pleasantly surprised by the variety of home-made drinks (cedar, fruit drinks, sbiten and horseradish).
Reviewstravelers
The absolute advantage of the Old Estate is its location in the very center of the city. Pleasant impressions are left by the laconic interior of the hotel and rooms, as well as the availability of all cosmetic accessories. The food in the restaurant is really delicious. In a word, the hotel complex corresponds to the declared status of “4 stars”.
According to guests, the main drawback is the high prices for literally everything - accommodation, meals, additional services and alcoholic beverages. In addition, not the best reviews are written about the spa-center, where saunas work intermittently.
Dvor Pozdnoeva
The top three most expensive hotels in Pskov also included "Dvor Pozdnoev". Restaurant and hotel complex includes:
- Main building (50 comfortable rooms, lobby bar and banquet hall).
- Business building (25 rooms, a conference room and a room for business meetings and negotiations).
- Refectory chambers restaurant of Russian and European cuisine.
- He alth complex “Spa without bottom”.
- Wine Chambers store.
- “Beer Chambers”.
- “Pie Chambers”.
- “Coffee Chambers”.
The minimum cost of living is 4600 rubles for two - a room of the “standard” category. However, many travelers are willing to pay for comfort and a high level of service. Booking a room includes breakfast and access to the spa with pool and saunas in the morning. There is a games room for younger guests.
Restaurants are considered among the best in the city, but the prices, accordingly, "bite". Hospitality, unusual interior and small details (for example, the menu in Old Russian) add color to this place.
Additional services:
- holding banquets;
- catering;
- laundry;
- concierge service;
- excursion service;
- room service.
Human Resources
The rating of the Pozdnoev Yard complex is quite good. The guests have no questions about the equipment of the rooms. The territory of the hotel, where there are several restaurants and cafes, also leaves a pleasant impression. The food there is very tasty, and the atmosphere is liked by many guests. There is a large selection of hot dishes for breakfast, and a coffee machine makes your favorite morning drink.
About the shortcomings. Travelers are periodically confused by the inconsistency of the work of the hotel and spa. The receptionist simply sends guests to find out the answers to their questions on their own and does not even try to help. In addition, the staff is inattentive to the requests of the guests.
Golden Embankment
The Zolotaya Naberezhnaya Hotel (Pskov) offers an amazing atmosphere and solitude, from the windows of which there is a delightful view of the Kremlin. Furniture made of precious wood, stained-glass windows, panels and wall paintings - the interior of the mini-hotel was created by talented decorators.
“Suite”, “Junior Suite”, “Comfort” and “Comfort +” - 15 rooms are available for booking, each of which is suitable for both leisure and work. Minimum room rate for double occupancy– 3200 rubles.
In the morning, a continental breakfast awaits guests at a nearby restaurant. A playground and a children's room are available on site for young travelers.
Guest opinion
Excellent location, delicious breakfasts and polite staff - this, perhaps, the advantages of the Golden Embankment Hotel end.
Recently, guests have begun to notice more and more shortcomings. According to the guests, the excellent number of rooms does not receive proper care. The work of the maids leaves much to be desired - the bathroom has rust spots everywhere, sometimes cobwebs and insect marks are visible on the ceilings, and there is an accumulation of dust on the furniture.
Another “minus” is poor sound insulation and lack of air conditioning, but many hotels in Pskov “sin” with this. On hot summer days, you have to open the windows, and the room is instantly filled with noise from a nearby restaurant.
B althaus
The hotel "B althouse" (Pskov) is located almost on the highway, so most often guests who arrive in the city by private transport stay here. 27 rooms available for booking:
- quadruple (3200 rubles);
- triple (2700 rubles);
- standard (2300-2600 rubles);
- junior suite (3500 rubles);
- deluxe (3900 rubles).
The room rate includes continental breakfast. There is free Wi-Fi. For the convenience of travelers, the cafe is open around the clock, so even with an early departure you will not be left without a cup of aromatic coffee.
Some hotels in Pskov, includingand "B althouse", allow pets. Depending on the size of the pet, accommodation will cost 300-900 rubles.
For business meetings, the hotel offers two conference rooms for 25 and 80 seats. The price also includes equipment: LCD TV, projector and screen, flip chart and camera with video recording function. Additionally, coffee breaks can be organized in the cafe.
Guests at the end of a busy day can visit a traditional Russian bath. Oak font, steam room, bath accessories, relaxation room and karaoke - detailed information on prices is available on the official website of the hotel.
One night stay
Many guests agree that "B althouse" is suitable for one, maximum two nights. Only motorists will appreciate the location, but it will not be easy to get to the city without personal transport. The rooms have everything you need, and breakfast in the cafe is hearty. Of the pluses, they also note guarded parking - 100 rubles per day.
The main disadvantage of the hotel is the lack of air conditioning in most rooms. The only option is to open the windows, but due to the proximity of the highway and the airport (2 km), the noise level increases several times. In addition, the room stock needs some updating.
Pushkin
In September 2014, the Pushkin Hotel opened its doors (Pskov, Krestovskoye highway, 40a). The remoteness from the historical center is more than compensated by affordable prices and cozy rooms, so this place does not experience a shortage of guests.
The following categories are available for booking:
- single room (1960 rubles);
- double room (2300-2700 rubles);
- triple room (2800-3100 rubles);
- quadruple room (3500-3700 rubles);
- junior suite (3800 rubles).
In the morning, all guests will enjoy a hearty breakfast in the restaurant. Kettle, iron and hairdryer are available upon request.
Interestingly, the opinion of travelers about the hotel directly depends on the neighbors. Unfortunately, soundproofing is almost non-existent and guests can hear everything that happens in other rooms.
The hotel is more suitable for guests with private vehicles, because in a matter of minutes you can drive to the center and see Pskov itself.
Hotels and inns on the track are not required to provide high-class service, but cleanliness is still a must. The management of Pushkin should take control of the work of the maids - most of the negative reviews talk about the poor maintenance of the rooms.
Avatar
In the list: "Cheap hotels in Pskov" you can also define an institution with an unusual name "Avatar", which is located near the historical center of the city. A twenty-minute walk - Pokrovsky complex, Mirozhsky Monastery and Victory Square, and even closer are the railway and bus stations.

- single two-room (3100 rubles);
- "comfort" single (3100 rubles);

Meals are not included in the booking price, but for 170 rubles guests can have breakfast at the Avatar cafe, which offers a choice of three options: Russian breakfast, American express and English continental.
Working on bugs
Travelers note that the area and the building in which the hotel is located do not inspire confidence, especially at night. However, after living, the impressions are the exact opposite. Bright interior, cleanliness, attentive staff and affordable prices - not all hotels in the city of Pskov can boast of this.
Notes from picky travelers:
- mattresses with protruding springs;
- unattractive view from the window;
- too modest breakfast;
- no dark curtains (relevant during white nights).
ArtMagic
A hotel complex of a European level, an apartment or a mini-hotel - Pskov today can offer various types of accommodation.
ArtMagic ApartHotel is located two kilometers from the Trinity Cathedral, in close proximity to the Velikaya River. Spacious apartments are equipped with all necessary furniture, but the main feature is the presence of a kitchenette with a refrigerator, kettle, stove and microwave. Such equipment is most appreciated by travelers with small children.
ArtMagic offers a choice of six apartments, the minimum cost is 2500 rubles for two.
Due to some remoteness, the apart-hotel is suitable for tourists with personal transport. There is no traditional reception desk, and the owner himself performs the duties of an administrator. Guests perceive this as an advantage, because they are not forced to additional services.
Among the shortcomings, sewer noise and not the most attractive surroundings are noted. In addition, guests are missing a washing machine.
The ArtMagic format is quite unusual, but people are gradually getting used to it. In December 2015, Camelot (Pskov) was opened - a hotel where you can also book apartments with a kitchenette. According to the information on the official website, anyone can rent a room in the apart-hotel at any time of the day.
Shopping
An obligatory stage in any trip is the purchase of souvenirs. From Pskov you can bring as a keepsake for yourself and friends:
- Black clay pottery.

- Magnets, T-shirts and other things with the image of the symbol of the city - a graceful leopard.
- Jewellery recreated based on jewelry found during excavations on Pskov land.
- Socks, mittens, stockings and gloves made of dog hair.
The most popular souvenir shops are concentrated in the city center. There is a small market in front of the Kremlin, the Pskov Gonchar brand store is located on Oktyabrskaya Street, and the most expensive things you will find in the Menshikov Chambers, where even shop windows can be photographed for a fee.
