Liked: Amazing staff ! So helpful at all times and hard working. They made our stay memorable and stress free and helped us discover good bars, places to eat and booked a very cheap taxi back to the airport. They made cookies and porridge in the evening and were just generally great. Room was large, bed was comfortable, kitchen was great, location an easy walk in to the town centre.

Disliked: Elizabeth left no negative feedback.

Liked: LOVED it- so homely, clean and friendly. Dorms although sleep ten- there is loads of room for bags and hanging space, Lots of lockers and plug sockets, the bunks are study, solid wooden bunks (they don't move/creak etc) with comfy mattresses- plenty of room to sit on the bottom bunk with out having to 'duck' and on the top due to high ceilings. The atmosphere is so homely, and friendly. I arrived on the overnight train from Moscow- very close to that- which is ideal with big/ heavy bag. They let me check in straight away and let me have breakie. On the last day I stayed there chatting until gone midnight before I went to get the overnight train back to Moscow- made my trip less tiring and more enjoyable. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: This hostel is brilliant. The staff are all incredibly helpful and friendly, booking tickets for you, cooking pancakes and pasta for all the guests, putting breakfast out late if you don't surface till the afternoon and just generally chatty. Very welcoming place, you get a free beer on arrival! The lockers have a socket in them, which is a great idea. The showers were decent. I was in the hostel for a week and there were guests from all over the world. All English speaking and friendly. It's located right next to the metro, and the Moscow train station, or if you like walking all the major sites are within a couple of miles.

Liked: Staff - really down to earth staff, helpful, friendly, knowledgeable Bar Crawl - one of the girls runs a bar crawl which was cheap and lots of fun Other Travelers - the hostel attracts a young mixed crowd so if you're into partying there are plenty of people to party with, if you're looking to sightsee and chillout there were people to chill with Thanks Anna, Pavel, and Katoosha (probably spelled that wrong :) ) You 3 are awesome

Liked: A fairly small hostel so it was very cosy and easy to meet everyone staying there. Free breakfast (cereal & toast) everyday was great and we even got to check in at 7am the first day. Very easy to catch a bus into town and the staff were very friendly and helpful, showing us the best bars to go to. Electronic keys were good as there was no curfew, and there was always someone at reception. Really enjoyed my stay here.

Disliked: Pavlik not staying out for drinks!
