Liked: It's a fun place, with nice paintings on the wall, really good location. It has a guest kitchen, that is very useful and I cooked my breakfast every day. They have free tea/cofee and very slow (but free) wifi at the reception.

Disliked: I only have one complaint about the service rooms and bathroom. There are no facilities with wc, sink and shower together in one place, but just 1 female and 1 male toilet, 3 showers and 2 sinks separate in the hallway.

Liked: They have everything what I am looking for in an hostel: lockers, FREE computer internet and Wi Fi, perfect location next to metro, close to all sightseeing and a nice cosy lounge to meet people and kitchen to cook food. They do Pub Crawl and Russian Bathouse trip, which is 20 minutes walk and 100 Rubles per person in a 10 people group. Highly recomended. Good for single traveller to meet people alll over the world.

Liked: I liked very much common room with free internet and wifi, room was big enough, beds nice, incredible location, just in the city center but still very quiet place.

Disliked: They do not have normal featherbed but blanket which you cannot sheathe. For many people it was a little bit disgusting. Also showers weren´t very clean.

04 March 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Friendly staff. Good location. Clean linnen. But the restrooms can be really cold for some reason (winter time). Part of the floor in the upstairs floor are bad and makes you feel that it might breake when stepping on it. They do have a kitchen, but it's not the greatest facility. There is a smoking area right outside the entrance, by the stairs, so it can be annoying with the smell of smoke when going in or out from the place.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Liked: The hostel has an excellent location and friendly staff. However the hostel itself is a dissapointment. The kitchen facilities were awful, consisting of a double hotplate, toaster, microwave and kettle. No work surfaces or dining area, in fact you cook and eat outside a toilet. There is only one fridge for 70 odd people. In short great location, poor hostel.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Christopher Aston

22 August 2009

Liked: Hostel is in a great location, that is all. I don't understand why people rave about this place, the staff were unhelpful and unfriendly, the showers and toilets were grimey, there was only 1 computer which had a broken keyboard and people were shouting and playing music until 4am every night we were there - not much fun believe me! staff did nothing to shut them up, even encouraging them, not helpful when its a hostel for everyone, not a select few. Dorm ceiling leaked during rainstorms and we had massive puddles on the floor getting our bags wet. Worst hostel experience i've had in a long time, don't stay here if you don't want a good nights sleep!

Disliked: Christopher left no negative feedback.
