Definitely the best hostel I stayed in. I wasn't expecting it to be in Russia! Everything is super clean and modern from top to bottom (the hostel opened in 2010): in the common rooms new and colorful furniture, renovated floor and walls, fully equiped kitchen, tv, 4 computers and wifi; in the rooms new bed, lockers; clean towels and bel...

Hostel with very good facilities right in the center of Saint Petersburg. I stayed 4 nights in a single room with shared bathroom. Staff in comparison to other countries rather sour, starting with not excepting my YH-card when I payed, then taking almost 3 days for my registration to be processed, telling me I don't need an immigration card when...

Beds were comfortable and lockers were provided in the room aswell as coat hangers on a coat rack. Heating was good as it was cold in April, bathrooms were large with lots of showers, toilets and hand basins,... More

I stayed at hostel life for 4 nights. It was easy to find and the hostel is close to main street where many tourist sites are located nearby. The hostel is also close to cafes, restaurants, bars, and small supermarket. It was very convenient to go everywhere. Staffs were very helpful and they were well organized. The facilities like bathrooms... More

I shared room with three other persons, and it was completly fine. Only problem with all was with taxi. I booked the taxi airport-hostel... More

We began an intrepid tour from here as part of our honeymoon. The hostel was busy but we had our own room which was clean and nicely furnished. The staff were friendly and spoke excellent English. The location was great right next to Nevsky prospekt with lots of sites on the doorstep. Definitely recommended.

Nice, but a bit noisy place, located in the very heart of St.Petersburg. The choice is between 4,6 or 8 bed in a dormitory, single rooms and double ones. The price starts from about 15 Euro for a place in a dormitory, which is a real bargain for St.Petersburg Centre. If you want to rest and you are not a... More
