The better of the two old Soviet-era hotels in Kazan. The Volga is still reasonably priced and the rooms are more attractive. The location isnÕt as good as the Tatarstan but it is nice and close to the train station, so if youÕre just overnighting in Kazan then itÕs a good budget option. The Òsecond categoryÓ non-renovated rooms cost 600 rubles ($22) for single and 1000 rubles ($37) for double and have shared bathrooms while the Òfirst categoryÓ non-renovated rooms have their own showers and cost 1000 rubles ($37) and 1760 rubles ($65) for single and double respectively. The non-renovated rooms are very basic and run-down but clean enough. There is a range of different half-lux and lux rooms but most of them arenÕt worth the money, although some of the cheaper luxury rooms, such as the single for 1400 rubles ($52) are quite good value. Buffet breakfast is included for all but the second category rooms. The hotel also has a health center with sauna, gym and solarium which can be used for extra charges.
