In Kostroma, choose a hotel with breakfast in the centre for sightseeing or by the Volga for a slower-paced stay. Breakfast styles and whether they are included in the room rate vary, so check when booking.
At Ekaterina, mornings start with a buffet breakfast of porridge, hot dishes and pastries; Susaninskaya Square is a 10-minute walk away. Art Hotel Aleksandrovsky serves a continental breakfast and displays a collection of paintings. For a more intimate stay, Guest House on Sennom has just three rooms and its own courtyard; check the breakfast arrangements.
At Moskovskaya Zastava and Business Hotel, mornings start with a breakfast buffet: both hotels are in the city centre, so it’s easy to head out for a walk afterwards. At Cruise, an à la carte breakfast is included in the room rate and served in a restaurant with panoramic windows. It’s a good choice for a stay on the banks of the Volga, though the city centre is about a 15-minute drive away.
These three hotels suit travellers who prefer staying by Berendeyevka Park rather than in central Kostroma. Aristokrat serves a buffet breakfast with pastries. Berendeyevka Park Hotel welcomes pets, while Park Hotel Aristokrat is an option if an Economy or Standard room meets your needs.
Apartments on Oktyabrskaya Street have kitchen-dining areas and offer a continental breakfast made with local products for an extra charge, starting at 300 roubles. The spacious accommodation suits families or groups. Premier has its own café serving lunch and dinner; check breakfast arrangements before booking.
These places suit travellers who want to stay outside Kostroma and dine on site. Lunevo on the Volga serves three meals a day from a set menu, while Volzhsky Priboy offers all-inclusive family stays with buffet dining. For a food-focused trip, Vokzal Kostroma Syrnaya offers local cuisine, cheese tastings and visits to a working cheese dairy.
Look in the centre: Ekaterina serves a breakfast buffet and is a 10-minute walk from Susaninskaya Square; Moskovskaya Zastava and Business Hotel are also central and offer buffets. For a museum stop, consider the Kostroma Museum-Reserve’s art gallery at 5v Molochnaya Gora Street.
Ekaterina offers a buffet, Art Hotel Aleksandrovsky serves a continental breakfast, and Cruise includes an à la carte breakfast in the room rate. At Apartments on Oktyabrskaya Street, a continental breakfast made with local products costs extra, starting at 300 roubles.
Before booking, check when breakfast starts and whether a takeaway option is available: offering breakfast does not necessarily mean it will fit your departure time. If you are travelling by train, allow time to reach Kostroma-Novaya station at 1 Shirokova Square, which is linked to the centre by Sovetskaya Street.
