Liked: There was nothing I really liked about this hostel at all.

Disliked: I cannot believe who different this hostel was to it´s description! I would not recommend this hostel at all to anyone. It was one of the worst I have ever stayed at. There is too much to write here that was wrong with the hostel. I am assuming it is under new management? Not sure what has gone wrong.

Liked: I liked it totally much. I was just a great atmosphere to stay with the absolutely helpful and friendly staff. It rather felt like staying in a big family, and it was easy for other travellers that just arrived to join. The hostel was located about 20 minutes from the red square, which made it some good position for walks through the city (this is why I didn't even use the public transports of moscow for the first days). The staff was very helpful even in situations, other guests asked them for assistance which was actually not of their business (for example existing some guest in getting back his confiscated back for further travels :-)) Can only recommend this hostel

Richard Ridgewell

13 January 2010 Richard would recommend this property

Liked: A realy good place to stay. It is owned by all the staff and you feel you are sharing their house rather then living in a hostel. All the staff were very nive and helpfull. Rooms are great and recently all redecorated. There is a cheap and very good 24 hour supermarket seconds away from the hostel. The hostel is a good 20 min walk into the city centre - but the walk is very nice and you pass lots of good restaurants and shops etc. The charge for registration was 500 Roubles. Will def return to Moscow and will def stay here again.

Disliked: Richard left no negative feedback.

Liked: Gorgeous pet cat called fox! Staff spoke excellent english. Good location. Laid back breakfast time. However our room was freezing cold and had no curtains. Also the staff were ALWAYS in the kitchen hogging all the pots, pans, kettle and seats. This made it hard for us to cook our own meals on an evening.
