Cheap hotels in Mayma

These countryside properties have parking and a café or restaurant—handy if you’re driving and want to eat on site. At Terra Altaya, you can order food to your cabin by the Katun River; at Usadba Sokol, check whether your cabin has a private bathroom, as only some do. Maralnik Altai Palace offers chalets and a free shuttle to the art hotel for more restaurants and entertainment.

At Eco-Hotel Aya, you can choose a cottage with a kitchenette and prepare your own meals; Lake Aya is a five-minute walk away. Iveria has a café serving home-style food, free Wi-Fi and free parking by the cabins. It is better suited to nightlife lovers, with open-air nightclubs nearby.

At Sfera in Biryuzovaya Katun, you can stay in a dome without relying on cafés: each has a kitchenette with a microwave, kettle, fridge and dishes. There’s a private terrace and barbecue area for dinner outdoors, while the artificial lake’s sandy beach is about a 10-minute stroll away.

Neither property is in Mayma itself: Urochishche Saikol is beside the Biya River in Verkh-Biysk, while Kuatang is in Artybash. Saikol offers heated rooms with private bathrooms and a restaurant. For a trip on a modest budget, Kuatang’s cottages have handy microwaves, kettles and fridges, and the complex offers free parking and Wi-Fi.
