The staff were so incredibly friendly and kind, it really made my short stay at iVan Hostel a great experience. The location is unbeatable, just a ten minute walk from the Red Square. The hostel has a very homey feel to it. I think it is a converted apartment building, so the quarters are sectioned off into what would have been apartments. You're sharing a bathroom and kitchen, but only with a small group of other people, so it's very comfortable. I will definitely return!

I really was impressed with this hostel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and had perfect English so it was easy to communicate. They gave genuinely good advice in terms of what to do and see, and the hostel itself was very clean and quiet so I had a very comfortable stay. The only thing which I would suggest is making the directions to the hostel a bit more clear with more Cyrillic! I got really lost in Belorusskaya metro station on my way from the Aeroexpress train! Otherwise great :)

It is a fantastic experience over there. Bit difficult to locate it for the first time but it is in a very good location. the staffs are just more than helpful. I never felt like I am in a hostel rather it was staying with few friends at their place. Name any staff -Nick, Dasa all are so friendly. During the May 9 parade, Nick took me all the way to the place where it can be viewed Otherwise it won’t be possible for me alone. They are helpful up to that level. Next time I will stay there.

We really enjoyed our stay at iVAN´s! Igor did really good job with finding us a river cruise, helping to get eye drops from a pharmacy and spending time with us in the hostel. The beds were very comfy and everything was new and shiny. There was only one bathroom and one separate toilet, but it was alright because it´s a small hostel. It was pretty hot in the room at night, but everyone got their good-night sleep. Great location. Would stay here again when next time in Moscow!

It was a Moscow dream. Everything was pleasant. The location was phenomenal. The facilities are new, yet have character. And the staff was the best ever. Special thanks to Kat and Игорь for making it a special time. I will definitely come back to the Ivan hostel, if for no other reason than just to hang out with that group.

This is a great hostel. It looks very new and has great comfortable beds. The staff are really friendly and great to hang out with. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed to cook and the bathroom was always clean. The lockers were of good size and we felt very secure here. Great value for money.
