Cheap hotels in Makhachkala
For a budget trip to Makhachkala, you can choose a hostel with a shared kitchen, an apartment or a private room near the beach. Compare food and transport costs as well as the nightly rate.
Central Apartments with Their Own Kitchens
These two Bon voyage apartments in central Makhachkala let you cook your own meals and are about a 15-minute walk from the sea. The studio on 1st Batyraya Lane accommodates 1–3 guests and has a washing machine; a refundable deposit equal to one night’s rate is required at check-in. The two-room apartment on Brothers Nurbagandov Street accommodates 1–2 guests, with discounts for stays of 14 days or more.
Seaside Stays with Everyday Conveniences
Everyday amenities can make a budget seaside trip easier. Risor offers lower-cost room categories and a dining area with a fridge and microwave, with the beach no more than a ten-minute walk away. Family, 300 metres from the city beach, has a canteen and a playground in the courtyard—a practical option for a stay with children.
Practical Comforts for a Budget Stay
Izumrud has a fridge and kettle in the room, handy for keeping snacks and making tea, plus a desk if you need to work during your trip. At Usadba, an early breakfast is included in the room rate, making it easier to plan your spending and head out to explore in the morning.
Apartments with Practical Everyday Amenities
These apartments offer practical everyday amenities for a budget trip to Makhachkala. Prival on Abdulkhakima Ismailova Street has everything needed to prepare meals, with bus stops a five-minute walk away. The Prival studio on Akhmeda Magomedova Street and SunDag on Kadarskaya Street have washing machines—handy for longer stays.
A Shared Kitchen in Khunzakh
If your budget trip includes a stay in Khunzakh rather than Makhachkala itself, consider Kanyon guesthouse. You can cook in the shared kitchen, and there is on-site parking and a choice of rooms with private bathrooms, including family rooms. The Tobot and Itlyatlyar waterfalls are a 15-minute walk away.
What to consider when choosing
Consider the centre and the area around the railway station, which sits by the Caspian Sea. Pandur hostel is 900 metres from the station and 100 metres from a bus stop; Semya guesthouse is 250 metres from the city beach, near theatres and public transport stops.
If you are happy to share a room, Pandur has 6- and 12-bed dorms and a shared kitchen; for a private stay with cooking facilities, consider the central Bon voyage apartments. If you prefer a hotel room, Risor has lower-cost room categories and a dining area with a fridge and microwave.
Compare the total cost for your dates, including food and transport: Usadba includes an early breakfast in the room rate, while the two-room Bon voyage apartment on Brothers Nurbagandov Street offers discounts for stays of 14 days or more. For the Bon voyage studio on 1st Batyraya Lane, also budget for a refundable deposit equal to one night’s rate, payable at check-in.
