The longest embankment in the country, the largest square and the tallest building of the railway station in Europe - Samara is considered the real record holder.

Hotels, concert halls, theaters, museums, cinemas, galleries, squares and parks, architectural monuments - the largest city of the Middle Volga region is proud of its cultural life. In terms of population, Samara is the seventh metropolis in Russia.

For those who are planning a short trip to Samara, we have compiled a list of must-do activities:

1. Boat trip. You can see the magnificent Volga with the start of navigation in May.
2. Excursion to Stalin's bunker. The presence of underground structures in Samara gave rise to a huge number of urban legends. Rumors about tunnels under the Volga, an alternate command center and other underground facilities are incredibly popular, but, unfortunately, they have no evidence.



3. Shopping for souvenirs. It is simply impossible to leave Samara empty-handed. Pottery and clay toys, caskets and national costumes, as well as colorful decorative magnets - travelers have a really big choice. Notdon't forget about fish, berries and mushrooms, confectionery from the Rossiya factory - Samara welcomes travelers on a grand scale.

Reviews

The Samara Hotel leaves a very good impression on travelers. There are many accommodation options in Samara, but the choice of food (full board, breakfast only or breakfast + lunch) is offered by few. Other obvious benefits include the location in the city center and the amenities of the rooms.

Flaws:

- technical problems when paying with a plastic card;

- weak Wi-Fi signal;

- indifferent and unfriendly staff.

Renaissance

If your destination is Samara, hotels in the city center are ready to offer good accommodation options. However, their level of comfort and service can hardly be compared with the magnificent Renaissance Hotel, representing the world-famous Marriott International chain.

According to experts, the Renaissance Hotel (Samara, Novo-Sadovaya St., 162, building B) is the best accommodation option in the city on the Volga. The historic center is a 15-minute drive away and the riverside is only a short walk away.

To services of guests - 196 comfortable numbers. Elegant furnishings, soothing colors in the interior, workplaces, high-quality bedding and cosmetic sets, as well as an ironing board, iron, hairdryer, minibar and safe - you will feel at home on a trip. Guests can relax in the modern fitness center and swimming pool.

Reservations department phone: 8 (846) 277-83-40.

On the territoryof the hotel complex "Renaissance" the "Viennese cafe", the bar and restaurant "In Alto", the restaurant "Sunlight" were opened, in the summer months the summer terrace receives visitors.

Renaissance Hotel (Samara) is perfect for a business trip. Nine equipped conference rooms allow you to hold an event of any level.

Guest opinion

The most important advantage noted by hotel guests is the European level of service. Friendly staff, well-equipped rooms, superb beds and bedding, as well as delicious breakfasts and excellent organization of events - "Renaissance" fully justifies belonging to the famous hotel chain.

However, the shortcomings were not hidden from the sight of travelers. The hotel was built quite a long time ago, and cosmetic repairs were carried out only partially - this fact is betrayed by budget plumbing in the bathrooms and the satisfactory condition of the swimming pool. In addition, some guests did not like the remote location and high prices for breakfast.

Ibis Samara

The main competitor of "Renaissance" due to its location is the hotel "Ibis" (Samara, Novo-Sadovaya St., 160d; phone: 8 (846) 339-68-52).

In a modern high-rise building, 204 magnificent rooms are equipped:

- junior suite;

- deluxe;

- deluxe river view;

- business suite;

- Superior City View King-Size Room.

Reservation price includes breakfast buffet in the restaurantSud & Cie. Guests can enjoy Mediterranean cuisine, while hot snacks and drinks are available 24/7 at the bar.

The Ibis Hotel (Samara) has facilities for people with disabilities, free parking, Wi-Fi, laundry and three conference rooms.

Reviews about "Ibis"

Samara offers a lot of accommodation options in the center. The Renaissance and Ibis hotels are far away, so the management has to make a lot of efforts to promote them.

Ibis is described by guests as a good chain hotel. Here you will find comfortable and clean rooms, qualified staff, delicious breakfasts - in general, the price-quality ratio is acceptable.

Cons:

- lack of swimming pool and fitness center;

- congestion of nearby streets;

- poor soundproofing;

- lack of a mini-bar in the room and water coolers on the floors.

Back to the USSR

Do you need a cheap hotel in Samara? The budget option is offered to travelers by Oktyabrskaya, which is located in close proximity to the bus station.

Comfort, standard, prestige and business categories are available for booking. The cheapest cost is a standard single room - from 3000 rubles. It offers a refrigerator, hairdryer, slippers and bathrobe, air conditioning, set of dishes, satellite TV and Wi-Fi.

Inexpensive hotel in Samara "Oktyabrskaya" is located at: st. Avrory, 209. Reservation Department Phone: 8 (846) 277-79-90.

PoAccording to travelers, staying in a hotel involuntarily transfers to Soviet times. The predominance of red and black colors, an old TV and propaganda posters on the walls - not all guests can appreciate the interior in the spirit of the USSR. Bathrooms, unstable Wi-Fi signal and creaky beds leave not the best impressions. Even a good breakfast and polite staff cannot fix the situation.

Despite these shortcomings, the Oktyabrskaya Hotel in Samara is considered one of the best in the budget segment. There are always free rooms here, and the location next to the bus station allows you to get to any part of the city by public transport.

Welcome Inn

On Lev Tolstoy Street (building 3) there is a popular mini-hotel (Samara also has such establishments) Welcome Inn. The famous embankment is within walking distance, and a little further - a pedestrian street and a river station.

Welcome Inn is located in a residential building and offers travelers ten cozy rooms. Spacious and bright rooms, equipped with air conditioning and a flat-screen TV, are a bit like the famous Ibis chain.

Pros:

- location;

- cleanliness and comfort;

- comfortable beds;

- friendly staff;

- availability of a 24-hour store next to the mini-hotel.

Cons:

- humble breakfast;

- no kettle and fridge.
