The facilities are very good and clean, staff is friendly and most of them speak English besides Russian. Other guests at the hostel during our stay were mostly Russian adults with their children or the elderly, so I wouldn't recommend this place if you plan to stay up late. Partying and drinking is practically prohibited, and those who do so will almost certainly get a fine anywhere from 1000 - 3500 RUB depending on negotiation skills. All in all very a clean hostel, excellent value for money.

Dear Karri! Glad to hear from you, you were a nice company, may be too loud sometimes, but still very friendly. Thank you for your appreciation, please kindly note that we only take a fine for breaking the rules which may disturb other guests and cause an extra cleaning. It does not happen often, however it becomes a common practice in the hostels who are interested in the individual comfort of each guest. Hope to host you again with a personal discount, yours, Hostel Life team.

Great place to stay, great location, easy enough to find and very friendly staff. A bit annoying you have to take you shoes off all the time, but that makes the places cleaner than most. Rooms nice and comfy beds. Its really close to shops, places to eat etc, girls on the desk, very lovely, helpful and friendly. Defo would come back.

Very clean, very central hostel. Good vibes and excellent staff always willing to help you. In the heart of the city with all the amenities you need at your doorstep. Atmosphere is lacking somewhat but would highly recommend this hostel to anyone.
