In recent years, a huge number of new tourist facilities have appeared in Kazan, and after the Universiade in 2013, many new hotels were opened. Here you can easily find a bed in a hostel from 300 rubles, a room in an inexpensive hotel for two not in the center for 1400, and if finances allow, then a five-star hotel for 10,000 rubles a day in the heart of the tourist area. The choice is really huge, the prices are affordable.
You can also rent a room or an apartment, there are a lot of them for rent both in the tourist area of the city and in other areas. It is more convenient and cheaper to travel with children in the apartment, since the hotel rooms are mostly designed for double occupancy. The price in the tourist area near Bauman Street or Kremlin is about 1800 rubles, further from the center you can find housing and from 1400 rubles. You can find and book accommodation in Kazan through the sites of ads by phone. But be careful when booking by phone, do not transfer money in advance, because you may lose them.

Which is the best place/area to choose
As for choosing a place to stay, for tourist purposes it is best to settle in the tourist area of the city. This area is formed by the pedestrian Bauman Street and the Kremlin (tourist area on the map). It is advisable that your hotel or accommodation is located within walking distance from Bauman or the Kremlin, since tourists spend most of their time walking along Bauman Street, and most of the attractions of Kazan are located here . Also, just an ideal place for tourist accommodation is the area of Gabdulla Tukaya Square. There is a metro station, a huge shopping center "Ring", many restaurants, including fast food (McDonald's, Burger King, KFC), the pedestrian streets of Bauman and Peterburgskaya begin.
If you cannot afford accommodation in the tourist center of Kazan, or you just want to save a little, then you can stay further away, but preferably near one of the metro stations. In this case, you will be able to get to one of the metro stations on Bauman Street (Kremlevskaya station or Tukaya Square) in just 25 rubles and 15 minutes.
And also, when booking, do not forget to specify about the possibility of parking if you are traveling to Kazan by car, because it is not easy to park a car in the center (see details, parking in Kazan).
