The receptionists did not speak English and the entrance is very strange. But it is very well located, near to Nevsky street. The local is clean and with a great bed. They have individual bathroom and shower.

    What was good

    Great location. Close to bus stations, metro, walking distance to attractions. I love my private rooms. They are cute. Clean hostel. The receptionist gave me tea and medicine when I coughed. It was very nice of her.

    What was bad

    They charge 250r to do the immigration registration service. I had stayed in 10 hotels in Russia and this the only one that charges money. Their explanation is they have experts to do this and it costs paper, posts, stamps etc but you
