Cheap hotels in Sortavala
Sortavala has affordable places to stay in the centre, by the water, or closer to nature. Choose the area and type of accommodation based on your itinerary and whether you want to cook for yourself.
Practical Stays by the Water
For a self-catering trip, choose Aalto or the apartments on Kirova and Sovetskaya streets: all have kitchens. Aalto and the Kirova apartment are in the center, while the tourist center is just across the bridge from Sovetskaya; Ladoga and Kaunis offer hotel stays on Lake Ladoga with cafés.
Practical, Affordable Places to Stay
BB-Gostinitsa suits guests who want to stay in the city centre and cook in a shared kitchen. Aleon has parking and a barbecue area, while Morris offers two shared kitchens and luggage storage. Golden Rose is 1.5 km from the centre and has family rooms and parking.
Affordable Apartments with Kitchens
All four options have a kitchen, Wi-Fi, and public parking. Oktyabrskaya offers two rooms, Pervomayskaya has a spacious apartment in a new building with a separate kitchen, and Karelskaya features heated floors and nearby shops. The Druzhby Narodov apartment sleeps up to three, with a children’s playground outside.
Different Ways to Stay near Sortavala
For an independent trip, consider the apartment in Kaalamo, 9 km from the Marble Canyons; a RUB 5,000 security deposit applies. For a nature-focused stay, choose the cabins at Bochkanakarte or the tents at Khutor LikhKoff. Lamberg has a restaurant, while Karlen has a café, and both offer parking.
What to consider when choosing
The centre is the most convenient choice: the Karjala mini-hotel is 500 metres from Kirov Square, close to the town hall and Vakkosalmi Park. Alda, Aalto, and the apartment on Kirova Street are also described as centrally located.
Choose an apartment with a private kitchen or a hotel with shared cooking facilities. The options on Oktyabrskaya, Pervomayskaya, Karelskaya, and Druzhby Narodov have kitchens, while BB-Gostinitsa has a shared kitchen and Morris has two.
It can work well if nature or a countryside itinerary matters more, but remember to factor in travel. For example, the apartment in Kaalamo is 9 km from the Marble Canyons and requires a RUB 5,000 security deposit.
