The environment is decent and the price as well …

Very clean, comfortable hostel. Location isn't near much and the area is very quiet at night, but it's a short ten minute walk to a Metro station. Not enough bathrooms or couches for when the hostel is full, but quite pleasant when it's not full. Staff was helpful and spoke some English.

Very nice hostel. Make sure you have directions clearly written down. Google maps sends you the long way from railway stations. Would be nice if the rooms had lockable lockers.

It's a nice hostel. It appears to be a converted apartment, so definitely on the small side - which I like. The folks who stayed here were mostly Russian. The place was kept fairly tidy and the Wi-fi access was also nice. When I was there I think one of the restrooms was under renovation. The staff, when available, was very nice and helpful. I would stay here again if I'm visiting Moscow. Thanks!

I've stayed in many hostels in Moscow and this is by far the most comfortable, spacious, cleanest, friendliest and best equipped. The staff are always at hand and always to help out, giving helpful and friendly advice and directions. There's a big TV, computer console and a well-stocked library for entertainment and the place is nice and peaceful away from the heavy Moscow traffic and a stone's throw from the main train stations. In short, you can't ask for much more from you stay in Moscow!

It was a great place I booked for my parents who were traveling through Moscow and just needed a place to spend a night. Staff were so helpful and nice. Could not find a better place and will keep it in mind for me and my friends when planning a trip to and through Moscow.

Not quite sure where all the top reviews have come from: the place was OK but nothing special. One (of the two) toilet seats was cracked and for the first few nights one (of the two) bathroom taps was broken. On the first night, friends of the staff took over most of the kitchen pots & pans (leaving them full of soup & stock for the next 24 hours) and there were three random people sleeping on the floor / sofa giving the place the atmosphere of a doss-house rather than a hostel. But it was OK.

All the reviews are left by our guests and they are just expressing their own opinion. It's quite ok that yours come a little different. Please note that it was holidays and hostel was full. People you called random were simply guests of our hostel. It's not that easy to find repairman during the holydays. Anyway thanx for your review.

The ensuites in the dorm rooms are shared across the whole hostel so lots of people walk through the rooms at all hours, and they're a bit tired (cracked toilet seats, lots of missing tiles on the steps to the shower). Good location by the main train stations, and handy to have a 24 hour supermarket on the corner. Not much character though - definitely more a place to sleep than anything else.

With a lack of signage for the entrance of the hostel, it makes it very hard to find and the locals don't necessarily know much about it either. Especially in the dark in midwinter. Once you realise that the entrance is a door underneath an awning, it's all good. But overall it was a great place to stay. Not noisy with good people and staff that are really friendly and will help you however they can and are always willing to have a conversation with you.

The place is clean and cosy. It is almost in the heart of Moscow, surrounded by old churches, old-styled buildings. Staff is very friendly, helpful, ready to hear your every plea. Rooms are clean and what I specially liked is that beds are big enough to get a good sleep. The atmosphere is very nice. The place, the people make you feel secured and like home. Would recommend it to others for sure.

This is a great hostel - very centrally located, the staff are great, the facilities are clean and spacious. It's like being in a large, very nice apartment. I would definitely stay here again if I were to return to Moscow.
