We have just returned from May day trip to Russian Nothern Venice magnificent city St-Petersburg. We decided to stay in international hostel in St-Pete because it offered decent value for money comparing to other accommodation in Russian cities. We were pleased to meet very friendly and helpful staff at Zimmer Smart however room had some disappointing features. Hot water supply was unexpectedly shut off during night hours and boiler did not work. Room was not sound-proofed at all and we could hear every whisper from other guests in the hostel. Furniture and decoration stuff in the room was quite old with visible wear and tear. Apart from these it was very pleasant stay in this beautiful city. P.S. Hostel location in the Soviet style block of communal apartments charmed the place very much. more
