Cheap hotels in Ostashkov
A budget trip to Ostashkov can combine walks by Lake Seliger with cooking your own meals. When choosing accommodation, consider access to the town and railway station as well as amenities.
Glamping on Lake Seliger
These two glamping sites offer a stay close to nature on Lake Seliger. Svoboda has safari tents and a shared kitchen for preparing your own meals; heated shower facilities and toilets are in a separate building. Nosorogi offers safari lodges with lake views, in-room Wi-Fi and a restaurant if you prefer not to cook.
Lake Seliger with Flexible Dining
For a budget trip to Lake Seliger, places where you can prepare your own meals are a practical choice. At Divny Mir Khizhina, cottages and chalets have kitchens or kitchenettes, and private parking is free. Novy Kovcheg offers barbecue equipment, with accommodation options including family rooms and camping.
Your Own House by Lake Volgo
At NaVolgo on Seliger, houses are rented whole: two bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen make them convenient for group trips and self-catering. Each house has a veranda and a barbecue, with unlimited firewood provided. Lake Volgo is about 100 metres away, while Ostashkov and Lake Seliger are a 30-minute drive—a countryside option rather than a town stay.
What to consider when choosing
For walks, look around Leninsky Prospekt, home to the river terminal, and Pechatnikova Street, where you’ll find the local history museum and Trinity Cathedral. If you’re arriving by train, consider the station neighbourhood: Ostashkoff is 900 metres from the railway station, while the station itself is about 3 km from the town centre.
In town, Ostashkoff has a kitchen with a hob, fridge and kettle in every apartment. For a stay in nature, consider cottages and chalets with kitchens or kitchenettes at Divny Mir Khizhina, or safari tents at Svoboda, where the kitchen is shared and heated shower facilities and toilets are in a separate building.
Not necessarily: compare the total cost of accommodation, meals and travel. At NaVolgo on Seliger, for example, two-bedroom houses are rented whole and have fully equipped kitchens, but Ostashkov and Lake Seliger are a 30-minute drive away; the nearest lake is Volgo, about 100 metres away.
