In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The whole pitch of Hotel Pushkin is variety: it has only 10 rooms, and every one is decorated differently. Some lean into warm wood and brown Balinese tones, others are brighter with white and blue for a fresher feel, and a few carry traditional Russian art touches. Guest reviews single out the creativity of the design and note that rooms are cleaner than you would expect at this price. Bathrooms are clean and well equipped, if small in places — which comes with the compact size of the hotel. With just 10 rooms, you do need to book well ahead, especially in summer and over public holidays.
Food and amenities
Breakfast is served in a casual, homemade style that fits the relaxed feel of the place. Out front there's an open-air seating area where you can sit with a coffee in the morning or read for a while. Free Wi-Fi covers the whole building. There is no pool and no spa here, but the surrounding area has plenty of massage spots and cafes to choose from, and the staff are friendly and quick to suggest places most visitors don't know about.
Location and getting there
The hotel sits in central Pskov, an easy walk from the city's main sights, with the Kremlin within walking distance. The streets right around it stay quiet despite the central location, and there are local cafes and restaurants — the non-touristy kind — in the same neighborhood. The Pskov train station is about a 12-minute drive by car or taxi.
Things to know before booking
The catch is scale. With only 10 rooms, it books up fast, so reserve well in advance for summer and holidays. It's a boutique, not a full hotel: no pool, no spa, and bathrooms can be small. And because every room is different, it's worth checking which one you're getting if you have a preference for the look.
Our take
Hotel Pushkin is best for solo travelers and couples who want a stay with personality and aren't after a square-box chain hotel — all on a budget. It scores 8.7/10, and from about $23 a night it's one of the best-value places in Pskov. Book in time and you get a genuinely creative little boutique at a price that's getting hard to find anywhere these days.

Insider Tips

- Ask the staff for local cafe and restaurant recommendations; they point you to places off the usual tourist track.
- Since every room is different, message ahead about which look you want — warm Balinese wood, a brighter white-and-blue room, or one with Russian art touches.
