To go or not to go - this question does not arise when it comes to Sochi. One of the most beautiful and developed southern resorts has all the attributes of a sweet tourist life: luxurious beaches, clear sea, advanced club life, ultra-modern attractions and hundreds of hotels. So, where to stay in Sochi, you have to choose from a variety of options.
The hotel sector of the resort is one of the most developed not only in the country, but also to many tourist powers can give a good head start. Here you can find solutions for an expensive and even shamelessly expensive vacation, or for an economical vacation with no frills, and even vacationers with modest incomes will find affordable accommodation if they wish.
It is worth immediately preparing for the fact that the price tags are noticeably higher than other tourist places - many years of fame and the recent Olympics are affecting. At the same time, the level of quality does not always meet expectations and its price, which is why the choice of a hotel should be considered more carefully.
Choosing a vacation spot
What to rely on when choosing where to stay in Sochi?
- First of all, on the real reviews of tourists - not a single even the most honest institution will give as much truthful information about itself as you can glean from the thematic forum or specialized booking sites.
- On infrastructure - if you need a hotel with a swimming pool and a full range of services, it would be naive to book a room in a tiny guest house on the outskirts in an inconspicuous hut. Likewise, you should not book an apartment in a five-star club hotel on the first line, expecting to keep within the limited amount.
- Location. If your goal is a beach holiday, it is better to choose a place closer, even here you can find relatively inexpensive offers. Guests arriving for sightseeing purposes will most likely prefer a hotel in the center, or at a distance from it, where accommodation is cheaper with the same level of service. For ski tourism, it is wiser to stay closer to the slopes.
- The hotel chain of Sochi includes the establishments of Adler, which is one of the city's micro-districts, but tour operators prefer to call it a separate resort. Sochi also includes the establishments of Khosta, Krasnaya Polyana and other adjacent villages.
Krasnaya Polyana is home to the most expensive establishments recently built for the Olympics, with luxurious rooms, infrastructure and a full range of services, where the cost of stay starts from 3,500 rubles per day. Usually come here for skiing or connoisseurs of bohemian luxury holidays.
All places where tourists stay in Sochi can be divided into several types:
- Hotels and hotels.
- Boarding houses.
- Guest houses.
- Sanatoriums.
- Hostels.
- Private sector.
It is logical that each type of accommodation has its own nuances, including the price.
Hotels
Sochi hotels are a colossal research topic. There are also club hotels with pools, spas, restaurants, cafes, discos, massages, fitness clubs, health centers, billiards, private beach areas and rooms comparable to palace chambers. Local prices are clearly not targeted at middle-income vacationers. Rooms for 4,000, 10,000 and even 30,000 rubles are not fiction, but quite an ordinary thing, and such high-profile prices do not always include food, most often only breakfast is provided.
The price is also influenced by the class of the room. In addition to classic standards and upgrades, local hotels offer family rooms, suites, junior suites, business suites, twin, double / single, studio, junior suite, apartments, presidential rooms. Almost every hotel has branded rooms - romantic for newlyweds, premium, etc. There are hotels where you can stay in Sochi in a multi-storey building-anthill, and there are with bungalow rooms, cottages.
There are one-room, two- and three-room, with and without a balcony or terrace, two-level, with a jacuzzi and hydromassage directly in the room, with an extended set of services, VIP-service and other features. All this also affects the numbers in the price list.
All-inclusive hotels are traditionally the most expensive. If such establishments are chosen abroad to save money, this number will not work here. Room prices start at 8,000 rubles per day per person and go to sky-high distances. Eating outside the hotel is definitely cheaper.
Many hotels offer several types of accommodation: no meals, breakfast included and all inclusive.
