YBB is a very central place in Moscow, Alyona welcomed me very well,smiling and available... I booked a double room very clean and quiet in an apartment with 4 other bedrooms... I felt like at home as I was alone in it during my stay ;) ... I met Ksenya, another pretty manager, with whom I shared pleasant time to discuss, drinking coffee, in the comfortable living room... with TV, music system and internet access So, a nice place in the center for a good price and clean large room... Just a bit pity they don't accept credit card...

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.

It is a good place to meet people and spend a good morning in Moscow, you have freedom and you're surrounded by good people .. if you need help to pay .. the hostel is very clean and cozy, is minutes from the station Metro and nearby there are bars, 24 hours, banks and food stalls .. are 20 minutes walk from Red Square ... I recommend it, it's cheap

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.

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.

The twin rooms were quiet, clean, with good lounge and cooking facilities. Perfect for older hostellers.

Unfortunately my stay was disgusting and horrible. Nobody answered the phone at the indicated. I was assured that this was a common problem of the house later. 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

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.

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!

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.
