What to consider when choosing

A hostel works well if you are comfortable with shared facilities and a communal kitchen; Hostels Rus-Samara also includes a light breakfast. A private room offers more privacy, while an apartment with a kitchen and several beds is convenient for a family or group.
Not necessarily: the historic centre has hostels with shared kitchens, while Volna offers Economy rooms and free parking. Compare not only the location but also transport, food and parking costs.
