Cheap hotels in Gatchina
For a budget trip to Gatchina, consider Economy rooms or apartments with a kitchen. Think about whether you would rather stay central for walks or have facilities to cook and do laundry yourself.
Central stays with practical comforts
These three hotels make handy bases for exploring central Gatchina on foot. Stolitsa offers Economy rooms and is a five-minute walk from the Priory Palace. Nomera v Gatchine has cafés and grocery shops within walking distance, while Gatchina offers free guarded parking for guests arriving by car.
Apartment Stays for a Budget Trip
Apartments on Khokhlova Street 8 and Apartments by the Park have equipped kitchens and washing machines, so you can cook and do laundry during your stay. Cozy Home Gatchina on Khokhlova 8 sleeps up to four, while Apartments on Aviatrissy Zverevoy Street 3k2 is handy for trips to St Petersburg, with Baltiysky railway station within walking distance.
Practical stays for a budget trip
At Sova, choose a bed in a shared room or a private room with its own bathroom, and cook in the shared kitchen. Gatchinsky Izumrud at 75, 25 Oktyabrya Avenue suits two guests, with a stove and washing machine in the apartment. Axioma is a practical choice for business trips, offering documentation for expense claims, Wi-Fi and parking.
Apartments for a budget-conscious trip
These apartments have cooking facilities and washing machines — handy for keeping costs down in Gatchina. Ulybka Uyuta on Chekhova Street sleeps three, while Lucky Time on Shvedsky Passage accommodates up to six. All the Lucky Time properties listed here charge an extra ₽500 for cleaning on one-night stays and require a ₽5,000 deposit, returned after cleaning on departure day if everything is in order.
A kitchenette and a nearby station
The Siversky aparthotel is in the settlement of the same name, rather than in Gatchina itself. Every room has a kitchenette with a fridge and microwave, making self-catering convenient on a budget trip. Siverskaya station is a five-minute walk away, and if you prefer not to prepare breakfast, you can order it at a nearby bakery.
What to consider when choosing
Consider Stolitsa: it offers Economy rooms and is a five-minute walk from the Priory Palace. For walks in Palace Park, useful entrances include the one by the Printing House on 25 Oktyabrya Avenue and the Birch Gates entrance on Krupskoy Street.
Apartments on Khokhlova Street 8 and Apartments by the Park have equipped kitchens and washing machines, so you can cook and do laundry yourself. If a shared kitchen is enough, Sova offers either a bed in a shared room or a private room with its own bathroom.
Not necessarily: compare the full cost of your stay and transport rather than location alone. For example, Siversky is in a separate settlement, not Gatchina itself: every room has a kitchenette and Siverskaya station is a five-minute walk away, but you will need to factor in trips to the city's palaces.
