About this hotel
Forest Relax lives up to its name more than most budget properties in this district, sitting a seven-minute walk from Mel'nichnyy Ruchey among forest and green space rather than city blocks. The indoor pool is a genuine draw at this price point, and the kitchen in some rooms suits a family or a longer, self-catering stay over a quick overnight. At 51 minutes from Pulkovo, this sits among the furthest options on the list, a real trade-off for the quiet, forested setting few other budget properties nearby can match. Pet-friendly and kid-friendly tagging both apply, and the full-service laundry helps on a longer trip north away from central St Petersburg and its faster pace.

Our take
I would recommend Forest Relax for a quiet, green setting and an indoor pool rather than the shortest drive to Pulkovo, on a stay of more than one night so the longer transfer pays off. Families who need a kitchen will find real value here. If you fly out early with little margin, a closer property is the better choice, given the 51-minute run south.
- Plan the 51-minute taxi to Pulkovo with real buffer time, since this is one of the furthest properties on the list.
- Use the indoor pool the evening before departure rather than the morning of, given the long drive south.
- Book a kitchen room specifically if self-catering matters, since not every room in the property includes one.
Why we love it
- A genuine indoor pool at a budget rate
- A forested, walkable setting near Mel'nichnyy Ruchey
- Kitchen access in some rooms
- Pet-friendly and kid-friendly together
Why guests love itForest Relax is a budget hotel in the forested northeastern edge of the district, with an indoor pool and a kitchen in some rooms. It is kid-friendly and pet-friendly, 7 minutes' walk from Mel'nichnyy Ruchey and 51 minutes by taxi from Pulkovo. With 8.4 from 18 reviews, the sample is small, so I read the rating with care. I would choose it for a quiet, longer stay with a kitchen, not for an early flight.
