Good place, because not far from bus station, and that's all. Its has nothing good at all. Old, dirty rooms, and freakin' cold in autumn, if you chose this, you must be ready and patient ...

Although the staff was friendly, the hostel was so horribly dirty that we decided to change the room immidiately. We recerved a room witha double bed and upon the arrival we were offered a room with 3 seperate beds. After we mentioned that it was not what we wanted we were offered a different one which was dirty as I have mentioned before. Besides the bed looked so fragile and worn out that I feared to even sit on it.

What a mess! I've never seen such a dirty and awful hostel like "POSH" Backpackers! The Staff was really nice, so it's nothing against them, but the owner of this hostel should think about renovating and cleaning up the rooms!

If you are interested to see something authentic, this is really the place to be. At the reception sits an old Russian lady knitting socks with needles and the building itself is like if the time stopped in the 80s. At the same time she speaks English and is very helpful. The hostel is in the middle of a local market that is a very good fun too. Unfortunatelly, there is just one toilet and it quite stinks...
