Popular with tour groups, Prichal has fairly bright, well-maintained, pine-furnished rooms in eight chalet-style blocks. ‘Superior’ rooms have fireplaces, while the windows in the cheapies don't open. An on-site cafe serves light meals (mains R275). Boats for Solovetsky Islands leave from behind the hotel; the helpful reception staff can book your ticket, ideally with advance notice.
