Yaroslavl’s four-star selection includes hotels for exploring the city centre, relaxing by a pool, and escaping to the countryside. Look beyond the star rating and compare location and facilities.
Bakkara occupies a historic 18th-century building in central Yaroslavl, about a five-minute walk from the Volga embankment. Guests can start the day with a buffet breakfast, while paid underground parking is available for those arriving by car.
At all three hotels, a day exploring Yaroslavl can end with a swim. AZIMUT in the historic centre has a complimentary heated indoor pool; Ring Premier offers two spa centres and a buffet breakfast, while Royal on the Kotorosl embankment features a 60 m² indoor pool.
Cosmos Yaroslavl is convenient for a short stay: Yaroslavl-Glavny railway station is just 200 metres away, and breakfast is available around the clock. Sokolena is opposite Arena 2000 and suits concertgoers or anyone looking to unwind in the spa with an indoor pool, hammam and saunas.
Dolphin Planet is a family-friendly choice with a dolphinarium and heated outdoor pools open year-round. Tochka Nemo pairs glamping on the Volga with sailing, while Russian Seasons offers stays in 19th-century mansions, museums to explore around the village of Vyatskoye and a buffet breakfast to start the day.
For a more intimate stay, choose Art Hotel Skvorechnik: it has just six individually designed rooms, serves breakfast, and offers tea and coffee at any time. Ostrovsky is a larger modern hotel with a restaurant, gym, and sauna. Both are well placed for exploring central Kostroma on foot.
Look in the historic centre or near the Volga Embankment: Muzyka i Vremya is set within a museum complex, while Ioann Vasilyevich is close to the Yaroslavl Museum-Reserve. Both make it easy to explore the centre and reach museums and theatres.
No, you need to check each hotel’s facilities. AZIMUT has a complimentary heated indoor pool, Ring Premier offers two spa centres, and Royal features a 60 m² indoor pool.
For a quiet city break, consider the 14-room Modern near the theatres; for pool and spa facilities, look at Ring Premier or Royal. Outside the city, Dolphin Planet caters to families, Tochka Nemo combines glamping with sailing, and Russian Seasons offers accommodation in a 19th-century mansion in the village of Vyatskoye.
