Liked: You share an apartment (bathroom, kitchen, living room etc.) with other travellers.

Disliked: Not enough toilet paper and staff in another apartment across the street, so no direct service. Hassle over exchange rate.

Liked: Two Metro stops from Red Square. Good facilities in a safe environment. Actually two close by properties. If you get offered the option of going to the second property, take it, its more spacious. Friendly and helpful staff, although there were a couple of hiccups with organising visa registration.

Disliked: Greg left no negative feedback.

18 November 2009

Liked: We stayed in the apartment, with private rooms, across the road from the main hostel. Given that smoking was allowed, (with no signs to the contrary), the beds fell apart, the toilet didn't flush, and the shonky shower, over-priced registration, and the never ending price changes on the rate, we left. Happy with new hostel for the rest of our stay. Not recommended.

Liked: Very low key and homey. It is just a three bedroom apartment that they have turned into a hostel so it is very small. I liked it for this reason. I felt right at home inthe kitchen and bathroom as soon as I got there. Good feelings all around. Very highly recommended.

26 September 2009 ManHsin would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel was quite close to the city center that we walked to the red squar almost everyday. The place is clean and cozy ( we staied at the private double room, which was located at the other building than the main flat) The owner even held a party for us on Sunday night, which was considered as a trandition for Russian people ( at least to the owner ^^) However the computer in the living room is a bit slow and there is only one bathroom incluided toilet for everyone that sometimes you have to wait to use it. Overall I think this is a good place to stay in Moscow.

When I finally arrived in Xenia abhorrent form asked me to prove my reservation did not believe me. when I said that I wanted to stay a second night because my plans have changed I was turned down. The ground of refuse arrival of group of people in a hotel was not confirmed and I specially checked on a site, a hotel was filled on 30%. But my tests did not make off thereon. Proprietor of it seeing Hostel Evgeniy the catalogue of the LIMITED issue of my acquainted artists of Ceslera and Voychenko asked to look him. Tired I left to sleep and which my surprise was, when on a morning I did not find out this catalogue. And to 12 p.m. when I departed me he was not returned. There is not a limit my indignation. In the total I moved in Suites of rooms of the familiar, which are a rad with this house. And hope that Eugen to me will return him leaving for a concierge, as I asked from a next manager, which similarly was not friendly. My business trip to last to the end of this month. I hope my thing it will be returned me. An address is Oruzeiny 5, 3 entrance, a concierge is on duty round-the-clock. For Ekateriny Beter or addressed to my friend Tat'yana Gritsay

Liked: I get the impression this should have been a very easy hostel to find being just off one of the main roads. However, the instructions just seemed a little complicated to follow and the fact the property map provided is orientated with the west at the top of the image rather than the usual north made it additionally challenging! If you make it to the nearby gardens on the big cross roads you need to walk north, not south as the directions seemed to indicate to us.

Liked: Loved Moscow . We actually stayed 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the yellow bus! The staff were helpful and friendly, rooms and bathrooms clean and tidy. Great kitchen for drinking vodka in and and relaxed and happy atmosphere. Really close to down town for a reasonable price (accommodation in Moscow is expensive!). I would recommend this place and stay here again!

05 September 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel is conveniently located. The directions provided should be clarified for those who cannot read Cyrillic to ensure that the correct exit from the metro station is used. Chiesca (not sure how it's spilled) was friendly and helpful, but the other manager was not. Only 1 bathroom and toilet for up to 20 guests per floor. Many long expired items were left lying around in the kitchen. The bed was not comfortable, and guests are expected to make their own beds.
