PILIGRIM HOSTEL

Ideal for budget travellers, this hostel is clean, friendly and has a very helpful staff and is just a short bus ride from the main tourist attractions. Due to its hostel status, most guests opt for dormitory beds, which are fabulously priced at RUB 400 per night (RUB 500 on weekends and RUB 600 on public holidays). There is, however, a more hotel like offer, with double rooms from RUB 1,200 (but with a shared kitchen). The hostel is free for children under 5 years old.
