Hotels in downtown Rostov

Usadba Pleshanova is a museum hotel in the historic centre of Rostov Veliky, one kilometre from the Rostov Kremlin and Gostiny Dvor. Combine walks around town with time at the manor: after sightseeing, dine at the Traktir restaurant or relax on the veranda in summer.

Both hotels are a base for exploring Rostov Veliky and relaxing by Lake Nero. Selivanov occupies a 19th-century building near the Kremlin, making it a good choice for those who enjoy historic surroundings. Bravis is 2 km from Cathedral Square and a five-minute drive from the Kremlin, with family rooms and a restaurant.

Both properties offer apartments with their own kitchens, handy for preparing meals between walks around Rostov Veliky. Loft Apart is a five-minute walk from the Kremlin, with apartment views of the Dormition Cathedral and belfry. Gosti Rostov Apartments is near the Spaso-Yakovlevsky Monastery: its two-storey apartments have private entrances and accommodate four to seven guests, making them a good option for families or groups.

Both properties are outside Rostov Veliky, so plan how you’ll get to the centre. Yaroslavna offers cottages with kitchens and verandas on the shore of Lake Nero, 4 km from town. Mamin Uyut is 12 km from the centre, near the M8 highway, with a choice of cottages or hostel beds and a 24-hour café.

For a trip to central Rostov Veliky, location matters: Bagdi is at the town entrance from Yaroslavl, near the M8, with a large car park. Kovcheg is in Borisoglebsky opposite an ancient monastery, while KaroZa is in central Petrovskoye, 20 km from Rostov, with free parking. The latter two suit travellers who prefer to stay outside the town.
