Pushka Inn is one of the best kept hotel secrets in St Petersburg. Most of travelers who stay in this hotel fall in love with it and there are many reasons why.

First of all, Pushka Inn’s is located a stone’s throw from the Palace Square, close to St Petersburg main street Nevsky Prospect. This means you can start exploring Europe’s most beautiful city as soon as you walk out from your hotel.

Secondly, Pushka Inn itself is a historic site. It is located in the former residence of Ivan Pushin, a Russian noble who was a close friend to Alexander Pushkin (Russia’s most famous poet). Alexander Pushkin spent much of his time in this house and it was here, in fact, that he met the passion of his live. He later fought in a duel for her and got himself killed. Anyhow, the building has been renovated many times since then, of course, but it still has a stone staircase from 1810 and antique lanterns on the walls.

Third reason why visitors to St Petersburg love Pushka Inn is its great rooms and service. The staff is very friendly. The hotel features a 24-hours service, security, parking area and free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, safes and refrigerators. The rooms are always clean and neat and bathrooms are quite big and have heated floors. Rooms are not too large by American standards, but quite large by European Standards.

Hotel features fantastic breakfasts in its own little restaurant, which is, by the way open until 4 am by the way. There are plenty of cafes and awesome restaurants next door to the hotel so you will never have a problem finding a place to eat.

Some of the rooms face a Moika River and could be a bit noisy at night as boats pass you by, so if you are a light sleeper ask for a room in the rear of the building. However, you will then miss out on a romantic little balcony that overlooks the Moika River. If you travel in summer, make sure you bring some anti mosquito spray as you will want to keep windows open at night to feel the taste of the city.

Last, but not the least reason why Pushka Inn is an ideal St Petersburg hotel is its prices. Pushka Inn is considered a mini-hotel, which means that it does not have very many rooms and a spacious lounge. But its room quality, location and rates easily make up for this inconvenience.
