Godzillas Hostel was a great place to stay. We liked it so much, we changed our last night in Moscow from another hostel in order to stay at Godzillas again. It is very clean and has a central location. The front desk was helpful and spoke English well. The one comment we did have was that several times there was some information given to us that was not correct about operating hours of certain places, but other than that, everything was great.

I bounce in and out of Moscow and have been to many Hostels. For 500-900 a night you cannot beat the quality.

The staff could have been friendlier, and speak better english. When asking for help to book a train the help we received was minimal, and we ended up spending 2.5 hours at the train station in an effort to book tickets to St. Petes. In contrast, our hostel in St. Petes offered to book online for us, and when we said our credit cards were being declined, they wrote out directions for buying tickets in russian, so all we had to do at the station was present that paper to the ticket office.

Wow, this is the BEST hostel I've ever stayed in and I think it will be really hard to top Godzilla Hostel. My stay was great. The facilities are always so so clean. Very spacious rooms and common areas. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and go out of their way to make your stay really pleasant. If you are thinking of where to book, just book with Godzillas right now. It's the nicest hostel I've ever stayed in!

The left-luggage office without limit was really great! The staff were very helpful. And the bankomat in the basement is useful ;-)

Our staying at this hostel just for 1 night (the 14th February )was great! Very kind and responsible staff, clear room, location. All was very good! And price, of course - it's quite chip. So, frankly, it's worth staying here if you have a trip to Moscow.

Very nice and helpful staff. Grocery shop close by, metro station close by. Good internet connection. The only issue were the lockers, they were simply not there. There was just a room with a numerical-code lock. If you asked for the code at the reception, you got it. The room behind the locked door was under construction and you could leave there your stuff to keep it "secure". You could put also your small valuable items in a safe at the reception. However, I recommend the hostel.

Nothing special. Nothing good about the place. As per usual in Russia there are non backpackers living in the hostel. Kills any sort of hostel hangout vibe. Average as anything but probably the best in Moscow. Just don't go in with any expectations.

A great location, friendly staff and good value for money. Having stayed in other hostels in Moscow it is refreshing to find a spacious well run place that is run in such a pleasant, professional way.

Very nice hostel near metro station, shop and in Moscow relatively near to center. Staff was very helpful when we had some problems with beds and in general is hostel very beautiful, warm, big, clean (cleaning lady was wiping the place all the time) so very comfy. Only two little problems (and inspiration for owners), in every dorm room were lockers but no locks and we off course didn't have any (owners buy them please, they aren't so expensive). And there wasn't sharp knife in down kitchen :)

This is the first time I stay in a hostel so I cannot compare with other hostels. The Godzillas hotel is an impressive experience for me. Staffs are kind and nice, the place is clean and functional. I love the big kitchen! and of course it 's value for money!

Nothing special, but it is ok if you go well with restrictions. It is not allowed to use kitchen if you checked out but have to wait for a couple hours. Wall outlet in our room was not covered with dielectric shield so it was easy to short circuit especially for child. Auto light switcher in kitchen is very insensitive, it requires several people waving to keep light on. When I tried to adjust sensor, man (Godzilla itself probably) came to room and explained rules of the hostel in rude manner.
