More options in Veliky Novgorod
People come to Veliky Novgorod to see the Detinets and Saint Sophia Cathedral. Guests usually stay for one or two nights, and that works out well: almost every place to stay sits within two kilometers of the Kremlin.
Moya Bron has 132 accommodation options waiting for you. Rooms in the catalog start from 2,500 ₽ per night. Take your pick: from a hostel on the Torgovaya Side to an apart-hotel right by the walls of Saint Sophia Cathedral.
Book a hotel, and in the morning decide which bank of the Volkhov to start exploring from.
Which bank of the Volkhov to book on in Veliky Novgorod
The Volkhov splits the city into two historic halves. The left bank holds the Sofiyskaya Side, home to the Detinets, Saint Sophia Cathedral, and the museum-reserve. The right bank is the Torgovaya Side, where you'll find Yaroslav's Court, Alexander Nevsky Embankment, and that classic postcard view of the Kremlin across the river. The two banks are linked by the pedestrian Kremlin Bridge, a five-minute walk across.
The Sofiyskaya Side is a better fit if your day will revolve around the Detinets and you want to step out of your room straight toward Saint Sophia Cathedral. Five hundred meters from the Kremlin, on Gazon Street, you'll find Istoriya — rooms start from 8,000 ₽. Even closer, right by the Detinets wall on Velikaya Street, sits Apart-Hotel Nerevsky — prices start at 6,500 ₽.
The Torgovaya Side suits travelers who want to watch the floodlit Kremlin from the opposite bank in the evening. On Alexander Nevsky Embankment, with a view of the Volkhov, you'll find AMAKS Hotel Rossiya — rooms from 4,300 ₽. The cheapest places to stay in the city are on this side too: the 2-star Art Hotel Vernisazh rents rooms from 2,500 ₽ per night.
To make the choice quicker:
| Where to stay | What's nearby | Best for | Starting price |

| Torgovaya Side | Yaroslav's Court, Alexander Nevsky Embankment, view of the Detinets across the Volkhov | Evening views of the Kremlin and affordable nights | 2,500 ₽ |
| Yurievskoye Highway | Yuriev Monastery, Vitoslavlitsy, exit onto the M-10 | A road trip to 12th-century landmarks | 3,500 ₽ |
Apart-hotels and apartments on the Sofiyskaya Side for 3+ nights
If your trip lasts more than one night or you're traveling with kids, an apart-format option will save you money and stress. Apartments come with a kitchen and a washing machine, and you can still walk to the Kremlin.
On Desyatinnaya Street, right inside the historic part of the Sofiyskaya Side, you can rent Apartments on Desyatinnaya Street, 3. Rates start at 3,000 ₽ per night. That's cheaper than any hotel near the Kremlin.
A bit more expensive and quieter — Luchina Apartments on Novoluchanskaya Street. They start at 10,452 ₽ and sit within walking distance of Saint Sophia Cathedral and the Faceted Chamber.
If your budget stretches to a premium option, take a look at Apartments on Gazon Street. They start at 15,000 ₽ and stand four hundred meters from the Detinets.
A full lineup of options with a kitchen is in the apartments in the center collection.
Where to stay for Yuriev Monastery and Vitoslavlitsy
The 12th-century Yuriev Monastery and the Vitoslavlitsy open-air museum of wooden architecture sit on the southern edge of town, five kilometers from the Kremlin along Yurievskoye Highway. If your trip is built around these sights, it makes sense to stay further south.
Apartments on Lugovaya Street 2 start at 3,500 ₽. They're the closest option to the monastery in our pool — a fifteen-minute walk to the monastery gates.
If you have a car, this district makes it easy to reach both Yuriev Monastery with Vitoslavlitsy and the Kremlin.
Another option for drivers is the suburban village of Grigorovo, west of the city. The 3-star Aist is there — a hotel with parking in the courtyard. It stands five kilometers from the center, and the ring road gets you to Vitoslavlitsy in twenty minutes. Rooms start at 3,680 ₽.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you're coming for the Kremlin and the museum-reserve, pick the Sofiyskaya Side: from any hotel, the walk to the Detinets is no more than ten minutes. If you want to photograph the Kremlin across the Volkhov and stroll the pedestrian Alexander Nevsky Embankment, stay on the Torgovaya Side. The pedestrian Kremlin Bridge links the two banks and takes five minutes to cross. There's no wrong choice — the only difference is what your morning walk looks like.
The lowest price in the catalog is 2,500 ₽ per night for a room at the two-star Art Hotel Vernisazh on the Torgovaya Side. Here's what rooms cost across categories:
- three-star hotels in the center — from 3,163 ₽;
- four-star — from 6,110 ₽;
- five-star — from 15,650 ₽.
Apartments with a kitchen start at 3,000 ₽.
Yes, you can settle on the southern edge, along Yurievskoye Highway. The closest option in our pool is Apartments on Lugovaya Street, 2 (from 3,500 ₽). It's a fifteen-minute walk to the monastery gates from there. If you're driving, you can also stay in the center — from there, you can reach Vitoslavlitsy in ten minutes along Yurievskoye Highway.
High season runs from May to September. Expect long daylight hours, open exhibitions at Vitoslavlitsy, and festivals inside the Kremlin. The highest prices fall around the May holidays and in mid-summer.
In the shoulder seasons (April, October, and November), the same hotels offer noticeably cheaper rooms, and there are no lines at Saint Sophia Cathedral.
The train and bus stations sit next to each other on the Sofiyskaya Side, about a kilometer and a half from the Detinets. You can walk to the center in twenty minutes or take a bus along Karl Marx Avenue — the ride takes five minutes. Most hotels on the Sofiyskaya Side are between the station and the Kremlin, so you can easily reach them on foot with a suitcase.
