HOSTEL
GODZILLAS SUZDAL
dm with breakfast from R700; )
An affiliate of the namesake hostel in Moscow, this big log-cabin facility overlooking the
river opened just a few years ago, but has already undergone a thorough renovation. Each
dorm room has its own bathroom and balcony. Guests can also enjoy the blooming garden
and Russian
banya

GUESTHOUSE
SURIKOV GUEST HOUSE
weekdays d/tr/q R2000/2500/3000, weekends d/tr/q R2500/3000/3500; )
Drifting into the boutique hotel category, this guesthouse positioned on a picturesque bend
of the Kamenka River under the walls of St Euphimius Monastery, has modestly-sized,
comfortable rooms furnished with antique-style pieces made by the owner. There's a Russi-
an restaurant catering for guests on the first floor. Visitors rave about this place.
RESORT
PUSHKARSKAYA SLOBODA
R2900, village d from R4300; )
This holiday village has everything you might want from your Disney vacation: there's ac-
commodation in the log-cabin 'Russian inn', or the reproduction 19th-century 'Gunner's
Village'; three restaurants, ranging from the rustic country tavern to a formal dining room;
and every service you could dream up. It's an attractive, family-friendly, good-value option,
though it might be too well-manicured for some tastes.
