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.
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.
