Cheap hotels in Murmansk
Murmansk has budget stays near the city centre or railway station. A kitchen can help you spend less on eating out, and it’s worth checking whether your room has a private bathroom.
Budget stays with practical comforts
At Severny Briz, you can choose a room with shared bathroom facilities on the same floor or a private bathroom, or an apartment with a kitchenette for a group trip. Tundra has laundry facilities and luggage storage—handy for a longer stay or before departure. Both properties have a 24-hour reception.
Kitchen facilities for a budget stay
These Murmansk stays offer kitchens or kitchenettes, handy if you want to spend less on eating out. Vatslav Mini Hotel 24/7 has a kitchenette with a microwave in every room, while Polyarnik also has an in-room washing machine for longer trips. Ledokol has a kitchen for guests to use, with the Severnoye Nagornoye shopping centre 500 metres away.
Apartments for an Independent Stay
These apartments all have Wi-Fi; location and practical amenities can help you choose. The apartment at 37 Sofyi Perovskoy Street is a five-minute walk from the central square. At 16 Severny Proyezd, a cooker, kitchenware and a washing machine make it easy to cook and do laundry yourself; guests must be over 22.
Shared Kitchens and Room Choices
All three places have a kitchen for preparing your own meals—a practical option for a budget trip. At Sputnik, three rooms share a bathroom and toilet; at Piligrim, you can choose a Standard room with a private bathroom and use the washing machine free of charge. Na Kryuchke offers a private room or a bed in a ten-bed dorm, but is 25 km from Murmansk.
A Private or Shared Kitchen
For a budget trip to Murmansk, both options let you cook your own meals. The apartment at 53 Kirova Avenue has a private kitchen and washing machine, with medical centres a three-minute walk away; it cannot be rented by guests under 21. Severny Bereg has a shared kitchen, a private bathroom in every room and a 24-hour reception; it is in an industrial area, 4 km from the city centre.
What to consider when choosing
For walks around the centre, use Five Corners Square as your reference point: Otel51 is 1 km away. For a train trip, consider Vash Dom near the railway station or Hostel 51, which is 1 km from the station.
The facilities matter more than the label: Severny Briz offers rooms with either shared bathroom facilities on the same floor or a private bathroom, while Hostel 51 has a shared kitchen and dining area. For cooking and laundry, the apartment at 16 Severny Proyezd has a cooker, kitchenware and a washing machine, but only accepts guests over 22.
Compare accommodation costs together with travel expenses first: Na Kryuchke is 25 km from Murmansk and offers a shared kitchen, private rooms and beds in a ten-bed dorm. If you plan frequent trips into the city, transport could use up any savings on accommodation.
