Chillax Hostel Reviews

The staff was nice and people staying there too. The women's bathroom has only 2 showers and one toilet and gives you virtually no privacy. If you need to use the toilet and someone is already in the bathroom, you may feel uncomfortable to do your business. Also bathroom has no window and the air there stands still. It was impossible for me to do makeup, as the bathroom was so humid. Only 2 extension cords per room, so quite risky to charge your electronics. Ok hostel for the money you pay.

We arrived before check-in time, but friendly staff managed to make beds before this time, atmosphere and location was really great. Ofe of the best hostels I've ever been to!

Very friendly, clean and just a good atmosphere. Was the price fully worth

I love this hostel! It's where I stay every time I come to Moscow. It is perfectly located on a quiet street near the Moscow Circus and two metro stations. There is a great atmosphere here that just makes you feel like home as soon as you walk in. The staff is very friendly and helpful with many suggestions about what to do in the city. My only complaint is the bathroom facilities are a little cramped and the showers are difficult to use, but it's not a deal-breaker by any means.

24h Russian friendly english-speaking staff! Small hostel, but really OK! Free wi-fi and computers! Lockers in the room, even thoug they are small, are a very important positive point of this hostel! Only point: windows should be opened periodically in the kitchen, rooms and living-room for venting and refreshing the air, especially because it's a quite small place.

A great atmosphere, and it was nice to have the option of an all-female dorm. The staff were SO great, and helped us with whatever we needed.

i wish we had 4 5 days off for May Day! great times in Moscow at Chillax! very cool and interesting international crowd here! and the fact that there were all sorts of holidays from May Day to Russian Easter going on made it an intersting experience in learning about Russian culture too!

wicked cool place!

we were there for May Day, which is a day of in Russia, so we ended up spending a day out in the great weather exploring the city, with the hostel staff giving us all the information we needed including cool non-touristy tips on what to do and where to go! very central and very nice place!

Great place to meet all sorts of crazy characters. Kitchen abit small for many people but great living room and vibe.

very cool people here! organized nighly events, besides great staff and a few really interesting Russians here, meet people from all over the world (fellow americans, UK, Australian, France, South Korea etc). the only downside - everyone was soooo cool, that i made friends with everyone, and promised to visit them all... now all i need is tons of cash for all these trips! thanks for everything!

i see Shani allready posted - ant wait to see you Down Under! but yeah - great crowd! Thanks for awesome times, memories, and great new friends!

Even though we only spent a night in Chillax, we really loved the warmth and atmosphere of the place! thanks a lot!

loved it! will need to plan a few more day in Moscow, and will of course stay in Chillax. recomend!

Very good common room and facilities. They have PCs for people to use which is great for people who travel without a computer. Too many hostels only have wi-fi these days. What some of the other reviews said was true, there were loads of Russian people who appeared to be living there. This is not necesarily a bad thing, especially if you want to meet Russian people, it just means that not everyone there is looking for the same hostel experience.

Chillax hostel is great! It's in a great part of the city and very central. It's very busy so you meet people from all over russia and the world. It's a bit cramped but you get secure lockers and the kitchen facilities are good. And there's a great common room where everyone hangs out and plays games. I would definitely stay there again

because they are desrve for it .

Too many beds crammed into a small room. And people living there full time makes it very clicky, as an outsider I felt a little intimidated. Dirty bathrooms too. And the place smells. Nice staff though. Sometimes, some were angry!

I first took the 14bed dormroom and that was a big mistake. There is no space between the bed (you sleep with the feets of your nabor on your head, and you share yours to the next one, etc). The place is packed with 50% of weido people who have nothing else to do than watching TV very loud, open the light during the light, play with they F*** telephone. 2 shower and 2 toilets for all (dont try to moove on it). Not enought secure for everybody. 50% of staff sepak english Bref, I do not recomand.

The hostel is comfortable, clean, in the city center (whitin walking distance to the red square etc.) and in a area that fells safe. At some point I had a problem to solve, and the staff members helped me out very nicely! Plus the price was much lower than other hostel, so don't hesitate to go there.
