I had an amazing time at CubaHostel! The staff were extremely friendly and willing to help me with anything I needed. They gave me good advice and recommendations and it made me feel safe in Saint Petersburg. It also gave me a chance to meat other young travellers like myself, and because of the good environment it was easy to hang out and become friends. I'm definitely coming back!

I like the hostel., full of character, a joyful scene even in the rainy day. However, the kitchen should be improved in terms of cooking utensils and more cooking rings. In addition, the sink which is a bit away from the fridge and stove is a big no no.

We were kept up 3 nights in a row with some late night (1am-5am) drinking sessions that the staff did not seem to care much about. This was topped off by people having noisy sex in the showers and groups of boys stripping for drunk girls in the kitchen area so the entire hostel was woken up. Bathrooms are gross... ...I waited till I saw a MacDonalds. Have to give it an A+ for location but D- for the rest.

Old Communist era building,needs some work,more box spring than mattress,internet only in common area.Perfect location, Clean,Friendly staff. Engage the staff to learn a little about them to enhance the share of information received. Better signage on front needed,Time of year will determine sweltering w/o a/c or cool in Sept. kitchen small but functional, 4th floor walk up, small lockers in room, bring lock, laundry&drinks available. Oksana, the perfect English speaking blonde was the BEST.

Generally very secure, enough space to lock up my laptop. However, one of my dresses went missing. Rather than blaming the hostel though, I should blame the Austrailian lawyer who was sharing a ten bed dorm with me as she seemed to have very little respect for the sleep, belongings and felings of people around her.
