I liked that though there was a good athmosphere to get to know your fellow travelers, it was quiet after 24:00. Breakfast was simple but coffee good. The staff was very helpful and friendly! The only thing I missed was a recognizable logo on the front door, to make it easier to find when we arrived.

Thanks for your positive feedback! It's really hard for a small hostel to get a permission for a big logo now(

Great hostel. Cozy and comfortable kitchen. Very friendly staff. As you're not allowed to wear shoes inside, it could be a good idea to provide slippers. I would certainly stay there again.

I just really enjoyed meeting lots of people there and, as a group, we felt that we were looked after perfectly! The food, facilities and friendship enjoyed there will stay with us for a long time after this week. Thanks Soul Kitchen guys! Spasiba y sa Nasdrovie!!

The place seems to be best choice in town: good location, nice staff, friendly environment, clean. I hoped it would be more of a party place, but meeting ppl is very easy nevertheless. Compared to other options in the same price range, others may have even better location (already excellent) or superior food and comfort, yet considering the atmosphere and the absence of any big turn off i'll rather vouch for soul kitchen with its positive and friendly vibe.

TtExcellent Hostel. Little au cozy, great place to meet people! We had a great party. The staff is really good. They booked all my trains ticket for me (eventhough it was 1 am). They organize different activities which is nice. You also get free internet and free international calls. Really really one of the best hostel I have ever been to.

One of the best hostel I ever been at !! I strongly recommend it ! Everybody that I met there was nice and the staff is just amazing. Special thanks to Pavlik that showed us a really nice bar. Honestly, if you want to feel like home and comfortable and meet new people, go to Soul Kitchen ! St Petersburgh would have been different without the warm feeling that this hostel gives you. Cheers and enjoy the vodka haha.

Good hostel, but far from being the best hostel in Russia. Small place without any fun

Owner Comment (Show)
We apologies that we are far from the customer`s expectations. Unfortunately customer was not satisfied with our location in a very city center and boring atmosphere in the hostel. Probably more than 400 people were wrong when saying we SoulKitchen is No.1 Sorry and thank you for your opinion.
