Cheap hotels in Petrozavodsk
For a budget trip to Petrozavodsk, you can choose a hostel with a shared kitchen, a simple room or a central apartment. Compare not just accommodation costs, but also cooking facilities and routes for your walks.
Budget Hotels with On-Site Cafés
Both Tsentralny and Lososinskaya have cafés, so you won’t need to go far for a meal. Tsentralny is handy for train arrivals: it’s about a 10-minute walk from the station, and rooms have fridges. Lososinskaya offers rooms for one or two guests, with breakfast, lunch and dinner available at its on-site café.
Central Apartments for a Budget Stay
These apartments in central Petrozavodsk have washing machines — handy if you’re packing light and want to avoid laundry costs. Dzerzhinskogo 6 offers a quiet central location near museums and Yamka Park. The apartments at 17 and 18 Lenina Avenue each sleep up to four guests and are five minutes from the Lake Onega waterfront.
Hostels or Apartments on a Budget
Karelia Hostel and Best Friends Hostel offer private rooms or dorms and shared kitchens—handy if you want to spend less on eating out. For more privacy, choose an apartment: the one at 3 Sorokskaya Street has a washing machine, while KaryalaHome at 42A Zaytseva Street has a separate kitchen area and a glass-enclosed balcony.
Apartments for a Practical Stay
These apartments have everyday essentials: KaryalaHome at 11 Popova Street has a kitchen with a hob, while the Varlamova and Rigachina apartments have washing machines and microwaves. At 46a Rigachina Street, six guests can sleep on three sofas, and Lake Onega’s waterfront is within walking distance. The apartments at 29 and 39 Varlamova Street do not accept noisy groups or guests under 21.
Practical Stays for a Budget Trip
At Greenfeel, you can cook in the shared kitchen, while Uyut offers a microwave and kettle; Uyut’s Economy rooms have bathroom and toilet facilities down the hall. Beryozovaya Roshcha is handy for a trip by car: there’s parking, and Lake Onega is a 10-minute walk away. Polovina is in the village of the same name, not in the city, and offers parking, a washing machine and a fridge.
What to consider when choosing
Consider the apartments at 17 and 18 Lenina Avenue: each sleeps up to four guests and is five minutes from the Lake Onega waterfront. For cultural visits, look out for the City Exhibition Hall at 26 Lenina Avenue and the Musical Theatre at 4 Kirova Square.
Karelia Hostel and Best Friends Hostel offer dorms and private rooms, with shared kitchens for cooking; Uyut’s Economy rooms have bathroom and toilet facilities down the hall. If privacy and your own cooking space matter, consider KaryalaHome at 42A Zaytseva Street, which has a separate kitchen area and a glass-enclosed balcony.
Compare accommodation costs together with transport expenses: the centre is convenient for waterside walks, as the Lake Onega waterfront is linked to this part of town. If you’re driving, consider Beryozovaya Roshcha, with parking and the lake a ten-minute walk away, or Polovina, which also has parking—but is in the village of the same name, not in Petrozavodsk.
