Cheap guesthouse vacation rentals in Tula

Tula sits just 190 km south of Moscow. Almost all of the tourist and business traffic converges on a single point — around the Tula Kremlin, the Kazanskaya Embankment, and the pedestrian Metallistov Street. Along this 1.5-kilometer stretch you'll find every five-star and most of the four-star hotels in the city.

Another reason to come is Yasnaya Polyana, 14 km to the south. A dedicated park-hotel was built right at the entrance to the museum-estate for its visitors. A third option is to stop for the night while driving the M2 "Crimea" highway.

Each travel scenario has its own cluster of hotels and its own price range.

Tula's tourist core runs along Sovetskaya Street, Lenin Avenue, and the pedestrian Metallistov Street, which locals call "Tula's Arbat." From any central hotel you can walk to the Kremlin and the Kazanskaya Embankment in 5–15 minutes. Choose by format rather than by district. That can mean a classic five-star hotel, a boutique hotel in a historic building, or an apart-hotel with an in-room kitchen.

• SK Royal Tula — a five-star hotel at 29 Sovetskaya Street, a five-minute walk from the Kremlin. The hotel has rooms across different categories, from standards (35 m²) to a presidential suite (160 m²). Guests get a buffet restaurant, a sauna, and a gym. Rooms from 9,400 ₽ per night.
• Dvoryanskoe Sobranie — a five-star boutique hotel in a historic building at 44 Lenin Avenue. The hotel is next to the Samovar Museum and the Tula Drama Theater. Stays from 10,200 ₽.
• Zlatinskie Lavki — a five-star apart-hotel right on pedestrian Metallistov Street, at number 9. A good fit for a longer trip or a family stay: the rooms come with kitchens. Stays from 11,350 ₽.
• AZIMUT City Hotel Tula — a four-star chain hotel at 3 Sovetskaya Street. It's a 7-minute walk to the Kremlin. Rates from 9,000 ₽.

If you want to see all the flagship options at once, open the 5 stars collection. It lists every five-star hotel in Tula.

If the main goal of the trip is the Tolstoy museum-estate, you don't have to spend the night in Tula itself. Yasnaya Polyana is only 14 kilometers from the city center, and a park-hotel rises right by the estate entrance, set in the woods.

• Azimut Park Hotel Tula — four stars on the grounds of the Yasnaya Polyana forestry, a few minutes' walk from the Tolstoy House Museum. You'll find nature, quiet, and a restaurant with regional cuisine. From 6,300 ₽ per night.

For those driving the M2 "Crimea" highway who'd rather skip the city, the most convenient option is to stay right by the road. From there it's half an hour to Tula and about three hours to Moscow.

• Park Hotel Grumant — at km 201 of the Moscow — Simferopol highway, in Shchyokino district. A handy stop for dinner and breakfast on the way to Crimea or back. From 6,300 ₽.

If you've arrived on the Lastochka train from Moscow and want to stay close to the station, look for hotels on Puteyskaya Street. From there it's a stone's throw to Tula's Moskovsky Station — just a block or two.

For business trips and cheap overnights, Kutuzova Street in the Proletarsky district also works. It sits 4–5 kilometers from the center. Rooms here start from 2,900 ₽.

• Moskva — a three-star hotel at 3 Puteyskaya Street, a block from Moskovsky Station. From 3,100 ₽ per night.
• Moonlight — a hotel at 15 Puteyskaya Street, also within walking distance of the station. From 3,500 ₽.
