Cheap hotels in Chelyabinsk

For walks, consider Gagarin Park at 100 Kommuny Street, Building 6; for time by the water, try Bely Parus Beach on Shershnyovskoye Reservoir. Compare routes to these spots when choosing accommodation: budget options include Nice, 350 metres from the railway station, and studios with kitchens in Parkovy.

If you’re happy to share a room, Lovets Snov has beds with privacy curtains, sockets and individual lights; for more privacy, Uralets offers a private room for two with its own bathroom. The studios in Parkovy suit travellers who want to cook and do laundry in their accommodation.

Not necessarily: compare accommodation costs along with transport and food expenses. The studios in Parkovy have kitchens and free parking outside the buildings, while Uyut is in Korkino, not Chelyabinsk — an important distinction if you plan to explore the city.
