Hotels with sauna in Ryazan

The center of Ryazan is fairly compact. The Kremlin rises on a hill above the Trubezh River, with Kremlin Park, Sobornaya Street and the embankment at its base. Two blocks away begins Mayakovsky Street, where most of the city's hotels and apart-hotels are concentrated.

If you're planning a one- or two-night trip — a walk through the historic center, the Yesenin estate museum in Konstantinovo, and the Airborne Forces Museum — pick a hotel within 500–800 meters of Sobornaya Square. That way you won't need a car or a taxi.

• Kremlevsky Park — located at 5 Kremlevsky Val, right by the fortress walls. From 4,600 ₽ per night.
• Priokskaya — at 13 Seminarskaya Street, one block from the Kremlin. A budget 2-star property. Prices from 2,800 ₽.
• Odisseya — located at 11a Pervomaisky Prospekt. From the hotel you can walk to Ryazan-1 station or Sobornaya Square in ten minutes.

From the station square it's a 20–25 minute walk to the Kremlin. Just follow Pervomaisky Prospekt and Mayakovsky Street. The route is ideal for travelers arriving on the Lastochka from Moscow who'd rather skip a taxi. It also works well if your office is on Pervomaisky Prospekt.

About 20–25 kilometers north of the city, Meshchera begins. You'll find a pine forest, a bend of the Oka, the 14th-century Solotchinsky Monastery, and the house-museum of Konstantin Paustovsky. Meshchera works as a day trip or as the main reason for visiting Ryazan Oblast.

In Solotcha itself and in the surrounding villages — Shumash and Varskie — there are accommodation formats you won't find in the city: sanatoriums, park hotels and waterfront resorts. Guests typically book for 3–5 nights and drive into the city during the day to see the kremlin.

• Sanatorium Staritsa — a 4-star medical sanatorium in Solotcha, on Vladimirskaya Street. From 2,140 ₽ per night.
• Ekopark Polyany — a 4-star countryside hotel in the village of Varskie, 19 kilometers from the center. From 4,700 ₽.
• Rybatskaya Derevnya — cottages by the Oka in Shumash. Guests get direct access to the water and fishing facilities. From 18,500 ₽ per night.

If you want to stay in the pine forest without medical treatments, take a look at the "Recreation centers" collection for the Ryazan area. You'll find a wide range of countryside formats, from park hotels to guest houses.

There isn't a single 5-star hotel in Ryazan, and that simplifies the choice. The main criterion isn't the star rating — it's location and stay format. Price is shaped more by the district than by the category: a four-star sanatorium in Solotcha, for example, will cost less than a three-star apart-hotel in the center.

For a short trip, pick a three-star hotel in the center. If you're staying a week and don't want to eat out every day, consider an apart-hotel with a kitchen. Dominanta, for instance, is an apart-hotel at 74A Mayakovsky Street. Rooms include a kitchen area and a washing machine. From 4,600 ₽ per night. Dominanta apart-hotel

The cheapest option in the center itself is Hostel Ayson at 29 Yesenin Street. A bunk here costs from 900 ₽ a night. Hostel Ayson

The site also has an "Apartments in the center" collection covering flats on Svobody, Chapaeva and Bystretskaya streets. They suit families or stays of three nights and longer, and you can cook for yourself. Prices run 2,700–3,400 ₽ per night. Apartments in the center
