“Victoria”
One of the most popular in the city is the Victoria Hotel (Chelyabinsk, Molodogvardeytsev St., 34). For almost twenty years of work, the owners of the complex have managed to create an impeccable reputation.

Opinion of guests
Reviews of travelers note that the Victoria Hotel (Chelyabinsk) is far enough from the center. However, with a developed transport system, this is not a significant drawback. The area is quiet, so you definitely won't have to complain about the noise outside the windows.
Several years ago, the hotel was reconstructed, thanks to which the Wellness Center appeared. This is a definite plus, because here guests can relax after a busy day. Unfortunately, in order to increase profits, the owners decided to sell subscriptions to everyone, on weekends and during peak hours it can be quite crowded.
According to the guests, the work of the maids deserves praise - the rooms are clean, and bed linen and towels are changed regularly. Breakfast is very modest butdelicious.
Fresh air and cycling
The Almaz Hotel (Chelyabinsk, Lesoparkovaya st., 15) promises unsurpassed comfort to travelers. Already at the address you can guess the successful location of the complex - there is a forest within walking distance, and the road to the city center by car will take about five to ten minutes.
There are 70 rooms to choose from. The budget option for two is the economy standard, the cost of which starts from 1500 rubles. The most expensive apartments with a guest and kitchen areas, a work desk and a king-size bed will cost from 5500 rubles.
Cable TV, minibar, individual climate control and toiletries are provided. In addition, Wi-Fi and buffet breakfast are included in the price.
French cuisine can be enjoyed at La Rose D'Or or delicious desserts at the Patisserie. For the youngest travelers, there is a special menu, and the staff is always ready to provide funny coloring books, pencils and felt-tip pens as entertainment.
The sports and fitness complex also offers its services:
- gym;
- solarium;
- massage;
- Finnish sauna with small pool and relaxation area.
Good or bad?
The Almaz Hotel (Chelyabinsk) leaves mixed impressions on travelers. For example, a location in a park area is a definite advantage. clean air andcycling - what could be better? However, the city center is quite far away, as are public transport links, so be prepared to walk or include a taxi service in your budget.
A similar situation in the French cuisine restaurant La Rose D'Or. The breakfast included in the price does not leave the best impressions, but lunches and dinners for a fee deserve the highest marks.
The rooms are spacious and bright, but lack the minimum set of dishes, drinking water, sockets and dark curtains. We hope the hotel management will listen to the opinion of the guests.
Chelyabinsk "Arbat"
The Arbat Hotel (Chelyabinsk, Sovetskaya st., 38) is located in the city center - the famous Kirov pedestrian street and Revolution Square are within walking distance, Aloe Pole Park can be reached in just ten minutes.
The hotel offers 77 stylish rooms, which include buffet breakfast. The interior of the art hotel deserves special attention - calm, at first glance, solutions are complemented by bright details (pillows, flowers in vases and art objects).
The cost of accommodation is consistent with the high rating of the hotel. The most “modest” room for two will cost 4400 rubles.
There is a restaurant on the second floor of the complex. In the mornings, breakfasts are held here, where you can certainly find a wide range of dairy products and cereals, meat and cheese cuts, fruits and pastries. From 12 to 16 o'clock in the restaurant they offer to taste businesslunch, and the best coffee and desserts are worth trying in the lobby bar.
Opinion of guests
According to one of the well-known travel portals, the Arbat Hotel (Chelyabinsk) really has a very high rating. Traveler reviews say that all information and photos presented on the official website are 100% true.
However, the main advantage of the hotel is its location - in the heart of Chelyabinsk. Among the pluses, the guests also note the perfect condition of the rooms, delicious food in the restaurant and hospitable staff.
Positive impressions are slightly spoiled by the lack of a hair dryer (there is only in the “comfort” category rooms), the number and unavailability of sockets, as well as rather high prices.
Ural
Looking for cheap hotels in Chelyabinsk? The list continues with the Ural mini-hotel, which is suitable for unassuming travelers.
Rooms for two, three, four, five and even eight guests are available for booking.
Beds with drawers and orthopedic mattresses, clothes hangers, kettles and TVs - the rooms are well stocked.
The Ural mini-hotel (Chelyabinsk, Truda st., 183 B) is located next to the fitness club of the same name, a zoo, an ice palace, a large shopping center and a city park. Guests note the cleanliness of the rooms and the responsiveness of the staff and management of the hotel, which allow accommodation with pets. Forguests can always use the organized bicycle rental to keep fit.
For budget travelers
Sfera Hotel (Chelyabinsk, 50 let VLKSM st., 12), which is a 15-minute drive from the airport.
The hotel in Soviet times was considered the best in the city, but today, seeing old furniture, lack of repair and service, it is extremely difficult to believe in it. Travelers have no complaints about the cleanliness and attitude of the staff.
The hotel is in demand due to low prices. For example, a standard double room will cost at least 2400 rubles (breakfast included).
Choosing the Sphere hotel for a tourist trip is not very profitable, because the road to the city center will take quite a lot of time, so pay attention to other hotels in Chelyabinsk.
The list continues with another inexpensive hotel - "Southern Ural", which is located in a six-story building in the city center. Double accommodation will cost 1600 rubles (conveniences on the floor), and a suite with a private bathroom costs 2800 rubles.
According to the reviews of travelers, the hotel "Southern Ural" (Chelyabinsk) has long been in need of repair. Guests are greatly upset by the lack of double-glazed windows, sagging mattresses and an incredibly modest interior - a legacy of the Soviet era.
Stay away
Tourists are misled by some hotelsChelyabinsk. We supplement the list with the three-star Amrita Hotel, which promises comfort at an affordable price.
Indeed, the cost of living is a pleasant surprise - a double room for 500 rubles a day is almost impossible to find in the city. However, this is where positive emotions end, because guest reviews strongly recommend avoiding this place.
The hotel "Amrita" (Chelyabinsk) is located in a residential area, but in the evening, according to travelers, it is simply dangerous to go outside. So, the guests note the following shortcomings:
- inconsistency of photos on the site with reality;
- lack of cleaning and dirt in the rooms;
- stale bedding with holes;
- cockroaches.
Of course, under such conditions, even remarks about poor Wi-Fi performance seem funny. Remember that after paying for the room, you can always return your money and look for another place to stay.
