Before I review this hostel, I need to explain the differences between the USA hotels and European hostels. Typical Americans expect squeaky clean hotel rooms, lots of space and privacy. We get this in the USA, but we pay for it with expensive hotel rates. We can get the same in Europe, if we are willing to pay expensive European... More

The location is great, can walk to the major spots and there are lots of restaurants around. It is a hostel (HI) so don't expect the uttermost comfort. The two-bed rooms are convenient; the one with the window and two beds is more expensive compared to the bunk bed and no-window one. I found the toilets and showers clean -... More

I stayed at the Location Hostel for 5 nights in July. We arrived around 8am, exhausted from the hot train ride from Moscow, and the staff made sure that our twin room would be cleaned as soon as possible. The room turned out to be rather basic but served our needs. We had a window facing the inner court of... More

I'm happy that I stayed here only for one night. First of all, the staff members are not very nice... Of course, I understand that it's not a hotel, however, they are still part of the hospitality industry and should be welcoming...

Were relocated to a hostel super far away farther then Moscow railway station, they would not drive us... More

spent several nights there recently, a great hostel in a great location. Literally across the square from the Hermitage, the river, and Peter and Paul fort are close by. Also just a short stroll to the metro line connecting to the airport. Friendly staff, very helpful and full of information. english language skills are excellent.

A good place to sleep, meet friends of all russia and world, a good experience and nice place to stay during vacation

This hostel has a perfect location, just a few steps from Isaky Cathedral, Hermitage and other sites. There is no elevator in the building so be ready to climbing stairs for the fifth floor. Dorm rooms are clean and simple, some of them have really beautiful views. The most dissaponted thing about bunk beds it's impossible to sit on your... More

Hello there!!! We stayed at Location Hostel for 5 nights during our vacation trip to Russia. The location is excellent and the most of the hostel. The rooms are clean even if not very quiet, and common areas like kitchen, shower and toilets could be improved in terms of cleaning. The only inconvenient we found was the mosquitoes in the... More
