Hotel Veliky Ustyug

The good value rooms at central Veliky Ustyug’s most appealing option are smart and occasionally graced by the presence of Ded Moroz dolls. Single rooms share bathrooms between pairs and the summer terrace next door serves the holy trinity of Russian cuisine: shashlyk (meat kebab), beer and grilled chicken.
