HOTEL AURORA €
R2100/2600, with private bathroom R2600/3100; Gorkovskaya; )
Tucked in behind
the Peter and Paul Fortress, this spunky mini-hotel offers affordable, friendly accom-
modation. The four spacious rooms sport a quaintly charming, Soviet-style decor,
with parquet floors, rickety beds and monochrome linens. Nonetheless, shiny new
bathrooms and kitchen facilities make this an excellent deal.
