Rostov Hotels

There are not many hotels in Rostov, but all of them are quite cheap. You can get a bed in a dorm for as little as 70 roubles ($2.4) a night, or you can live in a nice guesthouse for $15 for four people.
Two of the three Rostov hotels are located in the centum, just next to the Kremlin. One hotel is outside of the centum.

The hotels were personally checked by WayToRussia.Net team in August 2001. The prices are in $ US.


HORS HOTEL-GUESTHOUSE.
An artist and his mother accommodate people in two independent parts of their house, which is also an art gallery. One part is a small clean room with two beds, the size of a train compartment. There are a sink , a shower, and a toilet in the corridor shared with the other room. The room costs 250 roubles ($8.7 US). The other part is like a little appartment, there are two rooms and four beds, there's also a cosy kitchen you can use. A toilet, a shower are shared with the other room. The apartment costs 450 roubles ($15.7 US) for a night. It feels like staying in a cosy datcha (typical russian countryside house)
Description. You'll find this pretty wooden house walking along the right side of the Kremlin to the Nero lake (озеро Неро). An old woman and her son live there, she likes to look after her pretty garden (through which goes a path to the entrance of the house and to the lake), and he is an artist painting with enamel. As is written on several signposts on the wooden house, this place is both an enamel museum and a guest house. If while staying there you feel like trying to make some art objects in the traditional technique, the man can help you to use his enamel oven.
Every July they organise a symposium around this enamel technique. For 10 days, people from the whole world join there to discover better enamel and share their own knowledge. The participation to the symposium and the accomodation costs $10 US for a day. They like people to apply as early as January.
WayToRussia.Net advice: This is a very friendly place and not expensive, the best place to stay in Rostov.
