Cheap hotels in Kazan
A budget stay in Kazan can still put you in the centre: this selection includes hostels with both dorms and private rooms. A shared kitchen can help you spend less on eating out.
Central stay near the station
For a budget trip to Kazan, consider Navigator Hostel in the historic centre, near the main railway station and within walking distance of Bauman Street. The ground-floor café is open around the clock, handy for an early breakfast or a late dinner. The hostel also offers free Wi-Fi.
