For a budget trip to Pskov, consider accommodation near the Kremlin or an apartment with a kitchen. Let your plans guide your choice: exploring on foot or getting around by car.
Rizhskaya is handy if you prefer dining at a restaurant: there’s one on site, and each room has a mini-fridge. Apartments at 9 Olginskaya Embankment suit groups of up to six: the equipped kitchen lets you cook your own meals and save on eating out. Pskov Kremlin is a 5–7-minute walk from the apartments and 2 km from Rizhskaya.
The apartments on Volkova Street and “Cosy in an Established Neighbourhood” have equipped kitchens, so you can cook your own meals and spend less on eating out. The Volkova apartments have shops and public transport stops nearby, while “Cosy” suits drivers: parking by the building is free, and the centre is less than a 10-minute drive away. “Cosy” also has a washing machine.
For a budget trip to Pskov, choose a stay near the railway station or closer to the airport. Schastlivy Sluchay is a seven-minute walk from the station, with a kitchen in its Superior Apartments for preparing your own meals. Oasis, a kilometre from the airport, has a café, while Transit, 600 metres from the airport, offers Economy rooms and a 24-hour reception.
All five hotels have parking, handy if you’re driving to Pskov. At Sokolikha, you can choose an apartment or cottage with a kitchenette and prepare your own meals, while every room at Olga has a kettle and air conditioning. For a stop along the way, consider Holiday Inn Pskov near the A212 or Podvorye near the M9.
These stays are by lakes, not in Pskov itself. At Ustye on Lake Peipus, 3 km from Gdov, you can choose a cottage with a kitchenette and prepare your own meals. Lesnaya Gavan on Lake Spaster has a barbecue area and a restaurant, so you can alternate cooking for yourself with meals at the restaurant.
For exploring on foot, consider Apartments at 9 Olginskaya Embankment, a 5–7-minute walk from the Kremlin. Your route could include the central streets with their historic buildings and the Golden Embankment along the Pskova River, with views of the Krom.
If you plan to cook, the apartments on Volkova Street have an equipped kitchen and shops nearby. A room at Greenfeel Pskov gives you access to a shared kitchen; if cooking is not part of your plans, Rizhskaya has a restaurant and mini-fridges in the rooms.
Compare accommodation costs together with transport expenses: staying farther out does not necessarily mean spending less. If you’re driving, consider “Cosy in an Established Neighbourhood”: parking by the building is free, the centre is less than a 10-minute drive away, and the equipped kitchen lets you spend less on eating out.
