Hotels in downtown Kazan

These apartments make a handy base for walks around central Kazan, with kitchens for preparing your usual meals. At 5 Karl Marx Street, the split-level studio overlooks the Kremlin, but you’ll need to climb to the fifth floor, as there’s no lift. At 26 Bauman Street, Kremlyovskaya metro station is just 50 metres away, and courtyard parking is included in the price—handy if you’re arriving by car.

These apartments are a good fit for a group trip: you can stay together and walk to the Kazan Kremlin. At “Apartment in the Very Heart of the City” on Said-Galeyeva Street, a spacious open-plan kitchen and living area with a large table is a handy place to gather before a walk. The apartment at 16 Levo-Bulachnaya Street has views of the Kremlin and Kul Sharif Mosque from its windows.

These stays make handy bases for exploring central Kazan: the railway station is nearby, and Bauman Street or the Kremlin is within walking distance. Kazan Lagom offers rooms with a kettle and mini-fridge, while Chuk i Gek has a shared kitchen. For your own kitchen, choose TimHouse at 4 Korotchenko Street or Yort at 1 Tashayak Street: both apartments also have a washing machine.

A hostel or shared room can be a good base for exploring central Kazan on foot. Tsentralny has dorms for 6–12 guests with privacy curtains at each bed; Hostel Sova, near the Kremlin, also offers a private family room. Dyuzhina on Pravo-Bulachnaya Street is handy for walks to the Kremlin and Baumana Street, but has a shared bathroom.

The three-room apartment on Kalinina suits groups of up to six, with the Ekiyat Puppet Theatre and Tugan Avylym within walking distance, though the building has no lift. The one-room apartment near Gorki sleeps four and is a nine-minute walk from the metro. Gerke House on Adoratskogo is convenient for Riviera Water Park and sports arenas; the Kremlin is about ten minutes away by car.
