What to consider when choosing
For town walks, consider places by Lake Ladoga: Piipun Piha is about a five-minute drive from the centre, while Ladoga is near the waterfront and a five-minute walk from the North Ladoga Regional Museum. Both hotels have a sauna, and Ladoga also offers massages.
A city hotel is convenient for walks and museums, while a cottage offers more privacy: Na Pauze, for example, has kitchens, terraces, a sauna, a banya and a private beach. For a more unusual stay, Khutor LikhKoff pairs tents with a traditional Russian banya.
Focus on the accommodation layout and the facilities you need: Ladoga has family rooms, a sauna and massages, while the cottages at Na Pauze come with kitchens and terraces. If water facilities matter, Chyornye Kamni has a pool, hammam and spa complex.
