One of the best hostels I've visited. Stayed in double room for 4 nights. Clean, modern, comfortable room with shared bathroom. Rooms cleaned every day! Just a walking distance to the Red Square. Metro station 7 minutes of walk. Fast free WiFi internet in room! 500 russian rubles cash deposit for a room key. Hostel doesn't accept card payments. You need US dollars or Rubles in cash. Recommend!

Nice hostel. The free internet and kitchen was very nice. The showers were always hot. I would stay there again. I paid them to be registered, but they never returned it to me and I was never asked to see it by the police. That was 600RUB per person wasted.

Be aware about the tourist registration fee, they used to charge 600 Rub, however contact you embassy before to pay. We found out in our Embassy that value of registration fee is 2 Rub after seventh day of visiting. Another tip is if you are coming from aeroport or train stn to Hostel by underground try to get more infomations about how to get there, because we print the directions and it was a little bit confused. By the way print the underground map in English and Sirilico. We loved Russia!

A solid place to stay in Moscow, and close enough to the metro. The rooms are good enough, as well as decent toilets. All the amenities you'd need.

This is one fantastic Hostel. The staff are extremely courteous and helpful and speak a variety of languages. The hostel's internet is blazing fast and the place is immaculately clean, incld. showers, floors and kitchens. The beds are great and the rooms themselves are spacious, even the 10 bed dorm! My only suggestion is more group activities! It was hard to meet like minded people as the communal room was sequestered away and most just spent time on the laptops, Ipads etc. Besides that, Great!

Thanks for the option of luggage store before departure, very useful. Very nice location, close to the metro station Tsvetnoy Boulevard. Clean and comfortable common areas, bathroom and shower.

All in this hotel is made to simplified your life and vacation. The double room was very nice and confortable as well the bathroom/toilets very clean and the kitchen. The decoration is more elaborated than in other hostel. They give you very useful informations (bookshop, theater, bania...) and maps to travel easy in Moscow. You can let your luggages in a very safe place with a digital code. It is a very professional hostel and I will definitively recommend it!

Staff was very friendly. We had a private room and the beds were very clean and the showers are private. Really neat atmosphere. Bring a water bottle because they have a separate faucet for drinking water, it will save you a lot of money on the street.

Apart from an insufficient number of toilets (2) and bathrooms (2), everything else was perfect.

The room was a bit tiny (room for 2), and the bathroom could have been cleanier. But overall, we had a good time staying at the Godzillas Hostel, the staff was great, and the hostel is only 15 minutes walk from the Red Square. Thank you Godzillas !

This is probably the best hostel I have ever been to. When we were walking back to the hostel at night, we were stopped by police for no reason, and they tried to rip us off. We called the hostel and they came to sort it out. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and the accommodations were excellent. Location was perfect, atmosphere great and the rooms clean and spacious.

Very good hostel. The staff is extremely nice. It might be a little bit noisy (thin walls...), but except that - everything's perfect!
