Train is going right behind the window... No curtains in the window, no lockers. But otherwise - perfect )

Though the location of the hostel is very good, right in the centre of the city, it was a total disaster in terms of facilities. At the end of the first day the electricity went off, and the administration couldn't give any info when it may be back Because of the blackout in the morning there was no hot water, so we were basically forced to urgently look for another hostel and move out.

Nice place, actually. Located just near central railway station, but getting there can be complicated, so I suggest you print the map. The building is loft-style. It was an old factory, or something like that, kinda romantic setup. Reception girl was rather nice. Prepaying your breakfast can be a good idea. There were some folks from Finland and Spain, we went out on rather fun bar-crawl. This particular area of St.-Pete has a number of decent nightclubs to visit.

The first thing i did upon arrival to the hostel was booking another hostel for the next day. PT has a good location, but situated in a really terrible buildind. hostel is located in the barracks (!!!), a warehouse, not intended for human life. no noise reduction and a permanent smell of food being prepared! if you want to have fun in the club-head on down to the next street, it was unbearable to listen to loud music from upstairs before 9am.

We are situated in historic building of 19th century.The monument of industrial architecture. Kokorev's Warehouse . I know you people from Moscow love to complain about everything, but it's not the rest of the country's fault. Yes we love to party hard! We don't have neighbours! And we have more than 10 clubs and bars on the territory.We don't know where you went, but we don't have upstairs! Our building has 2 floors and we are on 2nd...

The first thing i did upon arrival to the hostel was booking another hostel for the next day. I understand i came on the 3rd day after NY celebratiion but seeing all kitchen being a big mess with 3 full trash bags standing in front of the sink full of dirty dishes and dirty dishes everywhere. showers didn't look good as well, i didn't take a risk to take shower even i just arrived and also because no clean towel for me. the location seems to be good when looking at the map but it's not indeed.

I'm sorry that you saw trash bags by the sink, in case you forgot we have bank holidays and that applies to rubbish collectors, we simply had to wait. We love our New Year's holidays so we cooked traditional Russian food free for all of the guests, but unfortunately not everyone knows that they need to wash their dishes after use... Everyone gets fresh linen and free towel on request (free as well) just need to ask! We located behind Central Station and 5 min walk to Nevsky prospect, metro Plochad' Vosstaniya.

10.12.2011 we booked private double room for the New year.When we arrived on the 30.12 we could not get to this room.Director Dasha told us that room was occupied, however she was unable to explain, why.They also had our booking confirmation.Moreover the room price given on the site was 1200RUR, if you call to the hostel it's already 3000 RUR.FREE DRINK ON ARRIVAL means: here is our kitchen, make your coffee or tea yourselves.FREE BREAKFAST - 50ml yoghurt, make your tea or coffee yourselve.

Ok, it's in a really weird location that's hard to believe until you get there, but it's actually really well situated. The staff is really friendly, as are all the longer-term residents (most of the people in the hostel are young Russians from elsewhere in Russia who are living and working for a number of months in Saint-Petersburg). Breakfast is instant oatmeal and Nescafe, the kitchen is always social, group outings are fun, and after a few days you'll feel like part of the family.

Very friendly staff! I love you, Guys -) There is everything you need in the kitchen. I have also liked the location. Main train station is located very close to the hostel. If you're lucky you will sing a hymn of the institution and drink mulled wine together with the guys. -)
