Staying in central Kazan makes it easy to combine museum visits and walks with downtime in a room or apartment. The collection includes hostels and apartments with their own kitchens and Kremlin views.
For museums and walks, consider Kremlevskie Palaty, near the National Museum of Tatarstan, the Palace of Farmers and Kul Sharif Mosque. If you also plan to see a performance, consider the apartment at 6k2 Bolshaya Krasnaya Street, near the opera and ballet theatre, the Kremlin and the Kremlin Embankment.
For a room, Kazan Lagom offers a kettle and mini-fridge; if you’re happy to share, Tsentralny hostel has dorms for 6–12 guests with privacy curtains at the beds. For your own kitchen, choose TimHouse at 4 Korotchenko Street or Yort at 1 Tashayak Street—both apartments also have a washing machine.
Yes: the apartment at 26 Bauman Street includes courtyard parking in the price. The apartment at 6k2 Bolshaya Krasnaya Street has its own parking behind a barrier; it also requires a RUB 5,000 deposit at check-in, returned on departure day after cleaning provided there is no damage.
