SuperHostel on Poltavskaya 5/29

Clean place. Wi-fi works well. Located close to a Metro/subway station and a great mall. The women at the counter were nice and helpful when they were available.

I stayed at the Poltavskaya/Goncharnaya SuperHostel. First of all, when I arrived at the time I had told them I would check-in, nobody was there to open the door for me. There's a ring but I rang several times, in vain. I had to call the general number for Super Hostel who had to call the woman working at the Poltavskaya/Gonchornaya to tell her to let me in. It took about 25 minutes for me to finally make it into the hostel. Second and most importantly, THE PLACE IS LOCATED RIGHT ABOVE A NIGHT CLUB open from 8PM till 6AM so don't think you'll be able to have a good night sleep there. Even with earplugs you can't still hear the music and feel the vibrations. They moved me to another room where the music was not as loud as the other bedroom but it still is pretty loud. You can't really go back to your hostel room and think you'll have a quiet and relaxing night because you'll hear the night club's music anyway. It is quite a shame they don't mention that "detail" in the hostel information!! Besides, the street is very noisy (all the rooms overlook the street), the beds are not comfortable, the walls are paper-thin, all of which doesn't help with the night club issue. I asked for a double bed upon booking but I got twin beds. Poor lighting in the bedroom and bathroom. The two women working there were nice but only spoke Russian so if you don't speak any Russian... One of them was never at the counter when she was on duty... They also apparently booked a taxi for me to go the airport on my last night but the taxi never showed up. The aforementioned woman was not at the counter to help with the taxi and to check me out of the hostel at the time I had told them I would check out. I emailed them in the Booking.com app but no answer... Luckily a friend of mine had told me about the YandexTaxi app (equivalent of Uber) so I could order a taxi through them to make it to the airport on time for my flight.
