Cheap hotels in Saint Petersburg
In St Petersburg, you can save by choosing a dorm bed, a capsule, or a private room with access to a shared kitchen. Compare not only the rate, but also the location and extra charges.
Simple Stays with Kitchen Access
All three places have a kitchen, handy for self-catering on a budget trip to St Petersburg. Abrikos on Nevsky Prospekt offers private rooms, mostly with shared bathrooms, while Sherwood has shared rooms for 4–6 guests. Vremya Gostey, also on Nevsky Prospekt, has shared rooms for 6–10 guests, a washing machine and luggage storage for early arrivals; foreign nationals are asked not to book this hostel.
Practical Stays in Central St Petersburg
For a budget trip, Kuba Coliving, Fontanka Art and Dom Baranovskogo offer shared kitchens; the latter two have both private rooms and dorm beds. A4 Capsules offers capsule accommodation and a separate work area, but bed linen and towels incur an extra charge at check-in.
Practical Stays on Two Islands
For a budget trip, this selection includes hostel rooms and sleeping pods. Amber, Marselle and Cuba PS Coliving have shared kitchens for self-catering, and Cuba is a three-minute walk from Petrogradskaya metro station. Cameo is exclusively for women, while Grifon’s pods have orthopedic mattresses and privacy curtains.
Practical Stays for a Budget Trip
All five options have Wi‑Fi and a kitchen, and allow pets. Teplo Severnoy Stolitsy, Na Vosstaniya, Spasibo and Na Yesenina are convenient for late arrivals thanks to 24-hour contactless check-in. At Tapki, check-in is required before midnight, but luggage storage and a lift are available.
A Practical Stay Near the Airport
AVIADOM offers several accommodation options: shared rooms, superior double rooms, and apartments with a kitchen and private bathroom. Parking, a 24-hour front desk, and overnight check-in are especially convenient for drivers and late arrivals.
What to consider when choosing
Consider stays in the city centre and around Nevsky Prospekt; Old Flat on Nekrasova is about a seven-minute walk from Nevsky Prospekt and Ploshchad Vosstaniya metro station. If the Hermitage is on your itinerary, compare routes to its main entrance at 2 Palace Square.
A dorm bed is best for maximum savings, a capsule offers more personal space, and a private room provides greater privacy. Note that Cameo is for women only, while A4 Capsules charges extra for bed linen and towels at check-in.
Calculate the total cost, including surcharges and practical facilities: a shared kitchen lets you cook for yourself, while a washing machine can be useful on a longer stay. For example, Old Flat on Vosstaniya charges separately for early check-in and late check-out, while A4 Capsules does not include bed linen or towels.
