Reviews of MixMix hostel

13 November 2011 Katie would recommend this property

Liked: It is the only hostel in Vladivostok so if you need a cheap place to stay, it is fine.

Disliked: The staff was not very helpful and spoke very little English. I speak some Russian, but for someone who doesn't speak any, it might be difficult to communicate. The location is not ideal (35 minute walk out of the city center, possibly longer by bus because the traffic is so congested). Also, the directions on how to get there were not very clear.

Disliked: A bit out of town, arriving at night In a back street you feel like you're about to be mugged by the taxi driver lol

Liked: The hostel is easy to reach from the train station. The location is very nice! Also, the view from it is very beautiful, because of the sea (at least when the weather is nice). Also, if you're traveling with luggage, there's a lift at the building, so you don't have to go up floors carrying the luggage to reach the apartment. Another thing which I liked is that Andrey (staff) is very nice and does what he can to help you. I arrived in the city without the address (just with his phone number), early in the morning and he helped me to find the hostel. When I tried to go to the airport and the bus didn't arrive (it wasn't my mistake, because there were other people waiting for it), he helped me calling the taxi (the price the taxi drivers were trying to get from me was 50% above).

Disliked: Just the weather, but it has no relation to the hostel.

Liked: There are beds, internet, WiFi, heaters and hot water - all the things you need.Though the hostel is located a bit from the old center, it is super easy to get in by bus (11Rub).To get to the hostel from the airport take bus #107 (from the right end as you come out of the terminal of the parking lot, 60Rub, buy ticket inside wooden house). Get off at the train station and follow the guidelines from MixMix - they do work, even that they can sound a bit random.

Liked: I stayed at this hostel for 3 nights. On the first I was woken up early in the morning by people coming back from nightclub, The second a group of people where playing acoustic music until the early hours of the morning. This I accepted as staying in back packer accomodation. What annoyed me was on the third night I was the only person staying there. I was listening to some AC/DC on utube. One of the people looking after the place told me to turn it down which I did, even though it wasn't exceptionally loud and I closed the door. Then a little bit later I was told me to turn it off all together. at about 9.30-10.00. I wasn't annoying other guests as I was the only person there. Apparently my choice of music didn't suit the staff and wasn't acceptable even though the same person was happy to be part of the music that keep me awake the previous night.

17 August 2009 Ivan would recommend this property

Liked: We stayed one night at the hostel. Location not bad, good access with public transport and close to the sea shore. Price a bit higher due to late reservation. The staff was helpful and friendly. Everything worked good, only we expected lower price for the washing mashine. Internet free of charge... Shorter beds but that's problem I encounter regularly with my 190 cm. Everything a traveler needs for a good stay. Recommended hostel (only one in Vladivostok).
