Stayed 4 nights, hostel is very close to the main city street and generates a really good atmosphere for meeting people. Wifi was a little bit dodgy at times, but we lived. There are several individual showers and toilets and the kitchen is well equipped. The hostel as a whole was clean and tidy and there were lockers in the rooms. Would stay again.

If you like to have party, this is the place to go! Most guests we met came home between 3am and 5am. If you are looking for a more relaxed place, we can only recommend SoulKitchen where we stay for two nights. The location is perfect, right in the center of everything! Kitchen is good enough to make a simple dish but definitely too small for such a big hostel.

Well run and laid back hostel. Great location. Lousy kitchen if you want to cook for yourself.

Pros: hostel is situated in the city centre, the stuff is friendly, the linen is clean, there is free tea and coffee available (it's perfect if you're not a gourmet). Cons: the hostel is in some want of repair , in some want of cleaning up, the windows also in want of cleaning, the walls and doors don't keep off the noise so the sond of voices, the sounds of people talking, taking shower and walking about are very audible until 5 in the morning.

The staff is great and the location is great. I will definitely stay here again when visiting St. Petersburg. They have a kitchen with supplies that came in very handy, so if you want to save money by cooking dinner you can do so. The hostel is within walking distance from great restaurants, clubs, and tourist attractions. I've also met some awesome people here.

I enjoyed things which depend less on the hostel than the clientele: 1) people in my 4-bed mixed dorm were considerate so I could sleep well and 2) we had interesting conversations in the kitchen-dining room and the lounge. Two hotplates for cooking is not enough for 30/40 people. Staff ist VERY helpful.

We had a great time at the hostel! Special thanks to Oksana for organizing parties with her friends. can highly recommend staying here for visiting St.Pete as it is very central. Make sure you also check the nearby cafe Zoom (ask for directions in the reception).
