BOUTIQUE HOTEL
GOLDEN APPLE
R4900; ; Pushkinskaya)
A classical edifice fronts the street, but the interior is sleek and sophisticated. The rooms are
decorated in a minimalist, modern style - subdued whites and greys punctuated by contrast-
ing coloured drapes and funky light fixtures. Comfort is paramount, with no skimping on
luxuries such as heated bathroom floors and down-filled duvets.
Up to 30% discounts for those who book in advance on the website.
HOTEL
PUSHKIN HOTEL
R7000/8000; ; Pushkinskaya)
Just off the eponymous square, this hotel strives to fuse 19th-century style with the modern
perception of comfort. We'd call it plush, if not for the tiny, B&B-style reception area. There
is a restaurant in the premises, but no need to use it since the area is packed with great
places to eat and drink.
The entrance was poorly marked when we visited, but it's the only one in the building, so
hard to miss. Note huge discounts are available during weekends.
GUESTHOUSE
GUEST HOUSE AMELIE
without breakfast from R3000/3500; ; Chekhovskaya)
Amelie benefits from its superb location right by Pushkin Sq - it's unlikely you will find a
room cheaper than this in the vicinity, and it's a very nicely furnished room, too! On the
downside, the hotel is a converted apartment, which means shared bathrooms and an un-
marked entrance located on Kozitsky per.
Once you find this lane, look out for the entrance number in the building marked as per
Kozitsky 3. Dial 17 and they will let you in.
