In the winter of 2014, the Olympic Games will be held in Sochi. Many people want to attend this spectacular sporting event - both domestic citizens and representatives of foreign countries. Having bought tickets, it is important to take care of accommodation for this period. Currently, vacant places for accommodation are already being actively booked. If you want to find an inexpensive housing option in Sochi, you should start looking for it as early as possible.
Search and book an inexpensive hotel room
During the Olympics, Sochi offers a wide range of accommodation options - from expensive hotel rooms to small rooms in guest houses and economy class rooms. Hotel prices in Sochi largely depend on the conditions of accommodation, as well as on the location.
It should be borne in mind that for the period of the Olympics, the cost of hotel rooms will be regulated at the state level. The maximum price for a luxury room in a five-star hotel is 13 896 rubles, and the cost of a standard room is 4339 rubles. Places in inexpensive hotels up to 3 stars will be cheaper.
Early booking will not only allow you to save a lot, but also to choose from a large number of options. But a month before the Olympics, budget vacancies are unlikely to remain in hotels. Information about free places in hotels and hotels can be found on the official website of the United Hotel Reservation Bureau for the Olympics. By calling the call-center of the bureau, you can order hotel accommodation.
Search and rent of inexpensive housing in the private sector
A rented apartment or room can be much cheaper, since there are a lot of them for rent in Sochi. It is also better to rent housing in the private sector in advance. Before the Olympics, the price for it may increase significantly, because there will be significantly more people who want to find an apartment.
To find low-cost private accommodation, search the internet for information. Apartment owners often post offers without intermediaries on real estate websites, electronic bulletin boards, newspaper websites, and social networks. To save money, you can find housing with less comfortable living conditions.
In addition, you can consider such budget options as renting a bed or accommodating a small company in a cottage. You can rent an apartment not only in Sochi itself, but also in its environs. You can get to the venue of sports competitions from the city districts by free public transport, which will be organized during the Olympics.
If you have already rested in Sochi before, try to negotiate with the same people from whom you rented housing. It is possible that they will give you a discount, like their regular customers. It will be most convenient for those who have relatives, friends or acquaintances in the city. Even if they do not have the opportunity to let you in, they will probably be able to recommend some budget accommodation option with their neighbors or friends.
