Friends Hostel - Griboedova Reviews

Location is closed to Nevskyi, 10 minutes to Russkyi museum,15-20- to Hermitage. Quite place.Sound isolation could be better.There is only 1 washing room with 2 wash-basing & 2 shower cabin on the floor. Free tea, sugar & "soushki" (kind of russian snacks) 24 hours.

Really nice place with a friendly staff. My only minor annoyance was the television in the kitchen that apparently always had to be on :-)

Really great! Would stay there everytime.

There was always free snacks, tea and water. At any time a cleaning lady was passing through to clean up. What was a bit concerning was the low security, anyone who wanted could enter the hostel and maybe the rooms if one forgot to lock.

Really enjoyed my stay here. It is in an awesome location and I wish I could have stayed there longer

It was quite hard to discover the entrance of the hostel as it is not an ordinary 'door'... but it's just minor misunderstanding... the location is perfect. Also, the security measure here is perfect too, especially in this pretty 'unsecure' St.Pertersburg ( I was followed by several guys while I was finding the way... ) The price is reasonable, but I dislike there was some extra fee that I can only notice when I arrive, it should have mentioned in the website

Its close to the sights and bars, not a bit of a mission to the train station. Facilities were ok - the kitchens only have microwaves and kettles though, the showers on our floor were temporarily broken - but in general the place was pretty characterless (beyond the Friends-themed decor). Barely any tourists, mostly gruff Russians. Plus anyone could walk in and out without the staff noticing.

Very well located, clean and nice staff. Organized activities for solo travellers aould be much appreciated
