Volgograd Region, Volgograd, ulitsa Mira 12 🧭 Map
Volga - 780 m
Nice rooms, good service. Breakfast had to be purchased separately. It was a bit pricey.
The front desk staff spoke fluent English and were very efficient in processing check-ins for minors alone. The hotel rooms had many comfortable beds, and the bathrooms were well-equipped with toiletries, even including razors. The hotel was clean, tidy, and the service was excellent.
Great hotel, delicious breakfasts, great location
The hotel is located in the city center, with convenient access to restaurants and convenience stores. The rooms are clean and tidy. Avoid booking rooms facing inwards, as the mechanical equipment is extremely noisy.
The location is great, convenient for getting around, and the room is pretty good.
The hotel is conveniently located. The front desk staff are warm and attentive. The breakfast is also quite good.

Clean and spacious room. Nice hotel with a good restaurant and friendly staff.
The hotel is not bad. It is quite big. The toiletries are complete. The soundproofing is OK. There is a small supermarket next to the hotel. There is a bar in the lobby downstairs of the hotel that is open 24 hours a day. There is a good restaurant on the Volga River. The view is good and the price is not high.
The price-performance ratio is very poor for staying at Hampton Inn at this price, and the room rate is also very small.
I really enjoy staying at this hotel. Literally everything about it is good: staff, rooms, sound insulation, breakfast. On the way to the south and back we always stop there. It often happens that all the rooms are occupied. Book in advance
The waiter was very nice, the breakfast was rich, the room was clean and everything was good
Good location, close to the subway station, 40-50 minutes by taxi from the airport, but mainly cooperates with travel agencies, it will be crowded, especially during breakfast time

Excellent hotel! Very friendly staff, ready to help fulfill almost any requests. The rooms are very spacious, there is everything necessary for living. Good choice during breakfast, buffet, there are dishes for people with different tastes. Very good location of the hotel - excellent accessibility for transport, both for taxi and public transport.
Neat and clean place. They helped with early check in with half price without breakfast. Breakfast is pretty expensive comparing to other restaurants. And ultimately I landed up paying the same cost like routine check in with breakfast
The hotel is cozy, functional, the mattress is comfortable, there is an ironing board with an iron, a kettle, coffee with cream and tea in the room. In general, it’s nice to live, it’s not bad located, near a park, a crossroads, a shopping center, a cinema, Motherland, a transport interchange. If the room is without breakfast, then it costs not like breakfast - 990 rubles, but in fact it is not surprising...
Services at the height. Excellent lounges. There is everything for living. Everything is thought out. Including personal hygiene from toothbrush to hair care. I advise.
The hotel keeps the quality. We arrived in the evening, did not book in advance, were accommodated easily and quickly. They gave us two rooms side by side which was exactly what we needed. Everything is clean, in the elevator only with a magnetic card. There will be no strangers on the floor. There is a minibar and a kettle in the room. Cosmetics in the bathroom available, slippers, white towels. The...

A good hotel right next to the train station. Walk from the train, drop off your luggage - done. We had a room on the 10th floor and towards the Volga - an excellent view. The staff is polite, the room is clean and comfortable, the buffet breakfast is included (I think you can take it without breakfast). Now upon check-in you need documents about vaccination or PCR, but this is the case throughout...
A wonderful hotel, like all hotels in this chain. The rooms are spacious and meet all European standards. I would especially like to note the staff at the reception - it’s very nice that any issue is resolved as quickly as possible. Breakfast is a buffet, very varied and tasty. We were a group of 8 people, everyone was happy. The Park In chain once again pleased us with its excellent reception!!!
A typical huge chain hotel, all as expected, windows view on the railway station if you're lucky, this is amazing.
Nice rooms, and very good breakfast.
We booked and paid for rooms for check-in by a group of 22 people, in advance for a whole month. Rooms are cozy and clean. Delicious and varied breakfasts. City center. Railway train station within walking distance.
Good hotel. Responsive and friendly staff. Very convenient location - in the heart of the city. In 3 minutes there is a children's park, access to the Alley of Heroes and the city's embankment. Lots of cafes and various shops. Stayed at the hotel with a family for three days, and everyone is very satisfied. The breakfasts are very tasty. Interesting city tours can be booked at reception. By...
I travel a lot in Russia, several times a month. And I stay in different hotels. I would like to note that now, unfortunately, the level of service has decreased. Especially when it comes to breakfast. It is clear that these are difficult times and hotels have to save. But when I arrived at the Park Inn in Volgograd, I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you very much for supporting the pre-pandemic level...

Very good hotel!

Separate toilet for room 502) Comfortable double bed with bedside tables and ottomans, sconce lamps at the head of the bed, a small coffee table, two chairs, a...
Good hotel in the very center. Very polite, competent staff. The hotel was built in the Stalinist Empire style. I am glad that inside it was possible to preserve the spirit of the old solid hotel, only an elevator from the remake.
Soviet style is in everything and it is specially supported. It's cool, it's like going back in time. The room was quiet, you couldn't hear anyone. Location, city center - very nice and convenient. Food - it is, for breakfast there was porridge, scrambled eggs, sausages and goulash. But we came half an hour after the opening and there was no more goulash, maybe of course it was later reported...
I liked the hotel: the flavor of antiquity has been preserved, but at the same time a good level of modern comfort. Very polite and professional staff. Special thanks to the tour guide Elena for the tour, after which I still wanted to come to Volgograd!
Excellent hotel! It is located in the very center of the city, 400 meters from the railway station (walking 5 minutes at a slow pace), 1 kilometer from the bus station (walking 10-15 minutes at a slow walk). Very comfortably. The hotel itself is well maintained, everything is clean, tidy, good. Favorable atmosphere. The restaurant is delicious, but a long serving. Of the minuses, I can name one thing...
This hotel has been around for many years, the first time I visited it was in 1985. At present, there are many new hotels in Volgograd, both more expensive and more comfortable. But Mrs. Intourist and Volgograd were the best. In particular, Intourist is currently one of the best hotels in Volgograd. Location in the city center with nice views. Great service, knowledgeable, always friendly and courteous...

Excellent hotel, price - quality. Good room service, although there are still questions about housekeeping and tea / coffee is not refilled. The double bed in the rooms consists of 2 single beds, but at the same time it is quite comfortable to sleep on it. There is an excellent restaurant on the ground floor, where you can enjoy delicious breakfast buffet, as well as delicious lunch or dinner at reasonable...
Comfortable, clean, no frills. Ideal for a business trip. Normal prices.
Everything is just great!!!! The hotel is classy in all respects: -budget -quiet -clean -spacious rooms -a huge bed with a good mattress -beautiful decoration of the room -the bathroom is admirable, not everywhere where I stayed I wanted to take a bath, but here this is the first thing I did, cleanliness and glitter!!!👍
Really like this hotel, staying here constantly at work. Great rooms, low prices. All suggest.
Amazing shop, clean and comfortable. The prices are lower than in the dining room. The dishes are delicious. There at the cash register coffee machine, choose any flavor. I recommend to dine here if it's convenient to get to.
Room 421 was not working at all WiFi, on the 4th floor for two days the cooler was empty when I leave the room it turned out that two tea bags and two coffee sachets which was lying in the room near the kettle, apply to the mini-bar! for coffee and tea, the administrator stripped $ 80., payment receipt not given! We had a late check out, the payment was for a full day including Breakfast, had to remind...

They cook very well. The room is clean. Nice room with a balcony.
Nice place that quite popular between Junior sport teams and its couches. May be quite noisy.
Good place to stay at an economic cost. The communication of hotel staff in English is to be improved and difficult for people who don't know Russian.
A very good hotel. The rooms are cozy, the rooms have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Even a kettle in each room, tea ,sugar. Bed linen crisp, even crunchy. The view from the window on the Volga, balcony / terrace. Polite staff. Thank you.
Nice rooms, clean, with a pleasant finish. There is a balcony. Great Breakfast, nice staff. Near the Park and the Volga. There are Bicycle rental, table tennis, children's games. In the summer on a business trip, come with your family.
Stayed for a night in August . Lovely room . Excellent food (dinner and Breakfast),minus one star only for the location of the air conditioner. In operation, the unit emits noise. All OST excellent and I Recommend the beach . Before Breakfast you can swim.

This is not the first time we have stayed at this hotel. As always, the staff is friendly and polite. Good location, clean, comfortable beds, even when you get a room with two separate ones, they can easily be moved together into one. This time the breakfast was a little simpler, there was no carrot juice traditional for this hotel, and the choice of snacks and salads was a little weaker. But the menu...
Nice hotel, interior is a bit heavy. But clean, quiet, everything works and great breakfasts.
Clean room, good service. There are toiletries (shampoo, soap, shower gel, dental kit, shoe sponge, slippers) updated every day. The dishes are clean. There is a kettle and tea, coffee and sugar too. The air conditioner is quiet. The bed is clean and ironed. Two sets of towels. The shower is clean, the heated towel rail is hot, there is a hair dryer. It smells nice both in the room and in the hotel...
The hotel is like a hotel. The value for money is right. Stayed twice, took a single room. Rooms are clean, cleaned daily. For me personally, the minus is sound insulation, it is not. The hotel has a restaurant. They cook tasty business lunch on weekdays. Prices are reasonable.
Excellent hotel. Clean, cozy, small but comfortable rooms. Slippers, dental kit, and 0.5ml of water are provided. Breakfast is a buffet; the selection is limited, but everything is quite tasty. I never left hungry. Definitely 5 stars. I recommend it!
Great hotel. Clean, comfortable, rooms are small but comfortable. Provide slippers, dental kit, water 0.5. Breakfast buffet, small selection, but everything is quite tasty. I never stayed hungry. Definitely 5 points. Recommend!

I often visit Volgograd, probably the best hotel in this city. I really like how the restaurant cooks and the free Swedish breakfast. There is a gym. Sometimes there are very noisy neighbors, here I would like the administration to monitor better. Otherwise 5 points!
A wonderful hotel, just a revelation! Clean, bright, stylistically decorated almost without misfires! The restaurant is a miracle. Both the preparation and the serving are at the highest level. In the rooms you want to swim longer than a day, that's for sure. The beds are excellent, the mattress is hard - the best remedy after a long journey. The parking lot is quite large, there is a barrier.
Excellent service, magical place. The best hotel I've ever been to. Everything is clean, cozy, and well thought out. I recommend it to everyone. Breakfast buffet, rich in choice and pleasantly surprising. The waitresses are responsive and attentive. The prices in the restaurant are not inflated, pizza for example is 320 rubles. + 10% discount for hotel guests. It is very convenient to get to the...
Perfect place. Great staff. Nice clean rooms. Very satisfying food. Recommend.
A wonderful hotel, I am glad that I was not mistaken with the choice.
We took two numbers. Attentive staff, good restaurant, delicious breakfast buffet. Lunches and dinners were also good. There is a paid late check-out service, we used it. During the stay we also used the hammam and pool service.
The hotel was quiet, one room overlooked Zhukov Avenue, the second room was on the opposite side, with...

Stunningly beautiful views from the window. Modern design. Spacious rooms. Hearty breakfast and polite girls at the reception. Definitely worth your money!
Very good quality hotel! Extra plus with the free and secured parking in the basement!
The hotel is convenient for those who find it important to stay to live and work in the area of its location, because. transport accessibility is poor. The hotel is located on the 25th floor of a high-rise building. From the hotel it is not possible to reach the desired floor by elevator, only through the 1st floor. Housekeeping is formal. Breakfast is cold. They specify the breakfast time, but nothing...
Decent hotel. With decent numbers. But prices are very expensive for everything from the room itself to bar/restaurant prices. The view from the rooms is so-so, around the construction site, the industrial zone, there is nothing particularly impressive.
Undoubtedly one of the best hotels in Volgograd, located on the 25th floor of the new multipurpose center. Definitely 5 stars and even by Moscow-European standards. (Moderate CeNET and a good Breakfast from 7.00)

Not bad. The room is a bit old. The service attitude is good.
Price-quality corresponds. Friendly staff clean room soft bed clean linens and towels. Slippers, kettle, extension cord, hairdryer are given at the reception. Good water pressure, wet cleaning even if you stopped by for a couple of days. Toilet paper and bathroom amenities in the room. Iron on the floor. Breakfasts are included in the price (buffet) food is fresh and delicious.
Friendly, very clean, helpful, good breakfast, good food. Only Russian.
My staying has been limited to one quick night fir traveling reasons, but I've found this place ultimately well adjusted and comfortable to be a three stars hotel.
Bedroom size lost in capacity with the addition of the two sofas and table, but not a big issue.
Full set of toiletries and towels provided, and a huge shower.
Almost very close to the main road, but conveniently sound proofeed, hence...
Well run clean and tidy hotel. Nice staff and good transport links to Volgograd City centre. Good value for money

Entering the hotel, you plunge into history. A portrait of Stalin, military paraphernalia reminds of the events of the war. Separately, I note the friendly staff and the opportunity to drink tea or coffee for free at any time. This is rarely where it is. Nice room with everything you need. And for a reasonable fee. Thanks for the hospitality.

Just a very nice hotel. We spent the night. It was very cozy, comfortable to sleep. Quiet place. Breakfast included. If you leave before breakfast, then breakfast will be collected in a container and given on the road. The beds are clean and fresh.
Love this hotel very much. This is not the first time he has stayed here. Convenient location in relation to the center. Delicious food, friendly staff. Everything you need is in the room. Iron on the floor. Nice environment, clean. I always recommend this hotel to everyone who travels to Volgograd.
Excellent room with a view of the Motherland. Cleanliness, order, comfortable beds, good wi-fi. I highly recommend the restaurant - the barbecue is fast and tasty, the cuisine is European and Russian, the wine list is long, the prices are divine.
Good value for money. Very near and easy access to city center. Even Kamaev Kurgan is really nearby. She's visible from streetside rooms, such as the stadium. Free parking. Even breakfast included.
