Moscow hostels

Pros: The hostel is very near the kremlin and the metro. You can walk easily to those places. The kitchen the toilet and shower rooms is comfortable enough to use. Overall stay is perfect.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Good location Clean Friendly staff

Pros: I found this hostel by recommendation of my friends, I’m recommending it to anyone traveling to Moscow! Very convenient location, very hospitable staff, ready to help with any questions.

Pros: My time there was amazing, they don't have hidden costs (such as charge for towels or blankets). The receptionist was so kind, helpful and supportive with me because I had trouble with my credit card there. The location is perfect for everyone who is interested in discover the beauty of Moscow.

Pros: Good location. Recommend.

Pros: Good location, near to metro Clean

Pros: Everything, the staff was very generous. Close to subway station and Moscow new city.

Cons: Nothing, everything was perfect.

Pros: I really like this hostel, comfortable and good facilities, anything is good here

Pros: Staff was amazing, really helpful and friendly

Pros: It was a good hostel. Had a private room which was a bed and four walls, small but that's what we expected. The price is great. The common room is also small but suffice. We were always able to sit somewhere.

Cons: There are enough showers although hot water seems to run out quickly. I do not think it is a coffee house. There is a coffee machine but that's about it. The name / advertisement throws you off a bit. Luckily there are enough nice coffee shops in the neighborhood.

Pros: All staffs is friendly, nice, and helpful.

Cons: -

Pros: Location is great! Tramstop in front of the door. Few minutes to metro and the centre. Public transportation is awesome in Moscow. We had a private room. Clean and basic, but what more do you need...? Price is good! Nice staff who speak english.

Pros: Very good and helpful

Cons: Nothing

Pros: - despite previous reviews, it is easy to find. Opposite the river with a big sign saying Derevo but in the russian alphabet:) Having a double bunk bed was nice - bed set up works perfectly: lots of shelves, 2 plugs and a lamp - locker per bed (though not per person) - water machines- instant access to boiling or ice cold water - Cleaners were great, nicer than some of the people staying, always smiling and saying hi, the whole place was spotless - Reception staff was also good, good levell of english, polite. - bathrooms were good, never had to wait for the toilet or a shower, showers were great as well.

Cons: We stayed here 6 nights. (This is long but please read it all before deciding to stay here) - this hostel is made up of two buildings, separated by a car park/road. They are about 30m apart. The vast majority of "nice" pictures you see are from one building, the older finished side. Sadly for us we were in the "newer" side, which is unfinished and nowhere near as nice. - we wouldn't even have known about this second, nicer side (sofas on the terrace, tv, lounge etc), unless we had compared our building to the reviews and spotted lots was missing. The lady who gave our tour was lovely, but neglected to show us around completely. - as mentioned, our building wasn't finished. We had builders present pretty much 24/7, loud building works all day, every sat eg. 10pm on a Sunday. There was the smell of paint and chemicals while you were cooking and eating in the kitchen. You are separated from the builders by a thin plastic sheet... -due to the building works, there was a big leak in the kitchen one night. No one apologised, seemed to care and a poor cleaner walked in unaware and had to clean it up. - LOCATION: other reviews have said it but you really are away from everything except supermarkets. We made the 1hr10 walk into moscow along the river which was nice enough but not ideal. - there is no "hostel" vibe. This is somewhere that people who work remotely or in Moscow live for cheap. Some of them were lovely, lots of them were a bit odd and the issue is no one is leaving anytime soon so you do just have to put up with it. - bunk bed ladder is painful to climb: thin metal rungs - everything is key fob entry, which sounds fab until you need a wee in the middle of the night and have to find your fob in the dark - kitchen equipment: no drinking glasses, broken hobs, the kitchen is too small. Many times we just had to wait to cook as there were already 6 or 7 people in there.

Pros: Place is beautiful and well maintained.It has all the facilities.Staff knows english and very friendly in nature

Cons: Place is far from nearest metro.Pavelskaya is 2km from hostel.You will have to take bus no. 13,158 which will take you to metro.On more problem is that it is inside a building very difficult to find.

Pros: Anna and Liza were super helpful during my stay. This was certainly one of the best hostel I've stayed in two years travelling around the world. The design, the security and the attention. It all exceeded my expectations.

Pros: Nice and helpful staff and reasonable price. Location is fine, metro is accessible within 10 minutes by walk.

Cons: The rooms are small, and heat radiators are bit obsolete, they are not adjustable so we had to open the window during the night, otherwise temperature would have been too high.

Pros: Good price-quality ratio, very helpfull stuff, big plus for storage our luggage after check out

Cons: No privacy in shower (to change clothes), noisy during night and early morning- it looks like some people stays there for long term, zero soundproofing

Pros: Location is great, it is close to the city center, no need to use public transport. Also room was clean and pretty and staff was very helpful. Receptionist has no problem to print check in confirmation for our flight etc.

Cons: For the breakfast there were only cereals with milk, nothing else. So if you lactose intolerance (as me), you can´t eat it. That was the only problem of Nice hostel. I would appreciate some bread with butter and jam, or ham or something else.

Pros: I liked everything about it, by far the best hostel in Russia

Pros: Quiet surroundings, quite easy to reach, all in all clean. Family room is quite enough for three people.

Cons: Very thin walls, so when your neighbors get up, you also have to get up and you won't be able to get asleep until everybody calms down . Kitchen was not very clean but this was due to the guests which are not all tidy.

Cons: The bed mattress was not comfortable and the radiator were too warm in the room as it’s an old radiator which can’t turn it off.

Pros: Location

Cons: Toilets

Pros: Location is great, almost on the Old Arbat street. Metro station is in 5 minute walking distance. Also you can find supermarkets nearby, which work 24/7.

Cons: The queen sized room in photos looks much bigger than it is in reality. There was no hanging point for showers. Although it is mentioned that rooms are soundproof, they are not at all. Also, it would be nice to have some signs that will show directions to hostel, otherwise it's not that easy to find.

Pros: Great option for this prise

Pros: Hot water in showers, friendly staff. Great location. Clean.

Cons: I would have liked big luggage lockers in the room, for example under the bed. (However they do offer to store luggage and there are small valuables lockers in room. I also missed a communal gathering place.

Pros: great location, friendly and helpful stuff,

Cons: beds were really bad. I weigh less than 50 kg, and still the springs were sticking between my ribs. And they may be should be checking on the bathrooms a bit more

Pros: They allow using the bathroom before you check-in and after check-out. You can also leave the luggage there!

Cons: The maid comes only once a day so it isn't always clean especially the kitchen which is so itchy. The sound of next room will wake you up in the very early morning if they have kids, even their phone ring, you will hear it clearly. The place is in good location but hiden behind the building with no signage. When you see Shake Shack on your left, try to find the small black gate on your right (in between souvenir shop). Open that gate and you will find the hostel!

Cons: it's hard to get there you have to pass a really annoying road

Pros: friendly staff and shops nearby also got a really clean shower with a washing machine and clean lavatories

Cons: as a hostel it was quite but single rooms are not sound proof you can not get in or out after 12 o clock

Pros: Proximity to a grocery shop right next door and only a few minutes walk from the super awesome Danilovsky Market. Curtains for most of the beds (not all). Quiet. Relatively low price, but what you pay is what you get and I would pay more next time to avoid this sort of experience again... see the negatives.

Cons: Len inn lux hostel, len inn hostel suite, whatever they want to call it, it's neither luxurious nor a suite. Rooms smell really bad. Mattresses are flimsy and dirty, and the linens don't even cover the entire mattress so you're actually touching the bare mattress with either your shoulders or your legs. The "clean" linens also smell bad. They force you to pay a key deposit but don't even give you a key until you ask multiple times. The shower was built for people 160cm and under, and the water spontaneously changes temperature from really hot to cold and back again. Not foreigner friendly. Seriously, just choose another place. It's so sad here. Even the guests. Also, one night there were crazy flashing lights outside at 3am and someone banging on our dorm window. So weird. We were supposed to stay a few nights but left early because we couldn't take it anymore.

Pros: I am Dipak Bhandari from Nepal. The hostel's staff are very generous and the living room is comfortable. If you put room spray regularly that will be much more awesome. The youngest lady reception is pretty cute though.

Cons: We had to wait around 30 minutes to check in because they didn't have registered our payment. The Hostel closes from 12 am to 7 am so we had to check out 12 hours before our plan to arrive at the airport on time.

Pros: I booked a single bed in a 6-bed mixed dorm room. The dorm comes with A/C. The bed was on a bunked bed, with a very average mattress. The bed comes with its own plug socket, but NOT its own light. For all the dorms, there is only 2 bathrooms (toilet + tiny cabin shower with powerwater and hot water), and 2 separate toilets. The bathrooms were clean. The dorm has small lockers for your personal stuff, outside of the dorm though. The shared kitchen is pretty tiny and NOT friendly enough to cook. The common spaces are small, with a tiny dining space. They provide you with a towel. Door key is available against a 500rbs deposit, that you get back when you bring it back. They can keep your lugages for 100rbs. Wifi is good. It does NOT includes breakfast. The hostal is located outside city center, in a quiet neighborhood, next to supermarkets. 6/7min walk to Tulskaya metro station 5/6min by metro to city center. All the staff, especially Svetlana, is very friendly and keen, always here to assist and help. They do not speak english fluently, but we managed to talk thanks to google translate. They take care of the Russian accomodation registration, for 500rbs, be aware of that (it was free in Kazan, Sochi, 450rbs in my hostel in Saint-Perterbourg). I would recommand this place for a short stay.

Cons: No additional lavatory facilities like a sink outside the bathrooms, to brush your teeth for example. Only 2 bathrooms (toilet + tiny cabin shower with powerwater and hot water), and 2 separate toilets. This can be an issue during peak hours. I have experienced the same thing in other hostels in Russia, so it seems to be a standard to only have few lavatory facilities.
