I'm genuinely surprised that this hostel hasn't got a higher average rating because we really enjoyed our stay here. Some friends recommended it to us for our two day trip to Moscow after they stayed here in Feburary 2013. All the communal areas and rooms were spacious and clean. I also liked the colourful, quirky decoration and the funny signs... More

This is a practical choice for any traveller on a budget. However, do not expect a pleasant stay. Although showers and bathroom were clean the place smelt damp. When you go to a hostel you expect that the staff would help you to get the best prices for taxis however the crafty godzilla staff saw this as a money maker-... More

Just spent 3 nights here. Bed was really comfy and room was nice with fan, chair and wardrobe. Extremely helpful staff with free safe and free secure entry luggage hold. Bank machine inside as well. 20 mins walk from kremlin. Really glad I stayed here. Recommended.

I stayed in one of the private single rooms in this hostel at a price of around £42 per night, which is exceptional value for Moscow. Room was basic but clean, if its just a bed at the end of a day you're after then Godzillas is ideal. Good internet connections in room, and very private, shower is a short... More

There were three of us and we had a three person room, found it to be clean and tidy - our room was at the front of the building. If we opened the windows we found the room smelt from the smokers who were outside, but this wasn't a big problem. our room was at the end of the corridor... More

Staying in a hostel in Moscow has to be met with appropriate expectations. If you are sleeping in a dorm, it's probably going to be a bit noisy and you'll have to share facilities. That understood, this place is a winner. The American manager and staff all speak good English and go the extra mile to help you with any... More

Pros: few cafes around as well as convenience shops. Good service. We were able to checkin early and the guy at reception was nice to show us around the hostel. Also liked the private bathrooms and showers and the place is in a safe area. There's also a good ATM inside, 2 computers and wifi. Cons: Annoying British guest in... More

In private room on same level as reception. Noise all night from stairs, font door, bathrooms. Smoke through windows as smokers congregate outside door directly below room. Room damp which made clothes smell, not ideal at start of a trip. 30 minute walk into centre. Decent free wi fi and helpful in organising taxi.

Arrived late and quite cranky as luggage didn't arrive in the airport with me but the staff were more than helpful. Ringing the airport to converse in Russian which I couldn't do and we got our bags the following day. Hostel is clean and warm which in Russia in winter is important. Good kitchens and plenty of showers and toilets.... More
