Hostels in Leningrad Oblast, Russia

Rating: 7/10. Top location, but mind the shared facilities!Pros: Unbeatable location just 3 minutes from Moskovsky Railway Station and the Galeria mall. The loft-style design looks great, it’s clean, and the Wi-Fi is fast. The contactless self-check-in via electronic keycodes works seamlessly. There is a cozy shared kitchen area equipped with a fridge, microwave, kettle, tableware, and complimentary tea/coffee.Cons: There are only 2 toilets and 1 shower for 7–8 rooms. When the place is fully booked, waiting lines are inevitable, which can be frustrating. Soundproofing is weak due to thin walls. Check-in and check-out times are strict (strictly from 2:00 PM and before 12:00 PM respectively). Since it's fully contactless, early arrival or late departure is hard to arrange, so plan your transit carefully.

Absolutely amazing! I'd recommend this place to everyone! First, the location: it's a 5-minute walk from the Leningrad Hero City Obelisk, very close to the train station and Metro Line 1. Within 500 meters, there are two 'five-star' supermarkets and a Kofevarim (a popular, affordable coffee and bakery chain in St. Petersburg, a must-try!). The entrance isn't easy to find; navigate to 'Nevsky Art Studio.' Go through the hotel's main entrance and walk inside the building, and you'll see a sign. As shown in P1, you can enter from either side of the building; just look for the 'Art Studio' sign. There's security at the entrance, and the elevator requires a key card, so it's very safe. You can store your luggage at the front desk. After checking in, an attendant will guide you upstairs to your room's reception area to swipe your card and open the corresponding locker for your coat and shoes. Disposable slippers are provided, and the common areas are very clean. For a hostel, the room is quite spacious. I could easily open my 28-inch suitcase inside (I recommend a bottom bunk – it's easier to access luggage while sitting). There's a full-length mirror, a three-tier shelf, a tall clothes rack, and two power outlets. One towel is provided. The privacy is excellent, but I imagine it might get a bit stuffy in the summer. The washbasins and toilets are separate and shared by both genders. Shower gel and shampoo are provided, and the facilities are very new. The mirror light is bright, which is great for makeup (^.^). I didn't fully explore the washing machine, but it looks fully functional and has instructions. The communal kitchen is as pictured, but there are only cups, plates, and two knives for utensils. It seems drinking water isn't provided. The refrigerator storage is a nice touch, with each room getting a small allocated box! Also, note that the drying rack is in front of the fridge, so drying personal items might not be ideal. There's an ironing area. The best part: all the staff are incredibly friendly! The front desk staff were smiling throughout, very approachable. After check-in, a staff member guided me upstairs and helped carry my luggage to the room's reception. The attendant at the room's reception was also super nice! Since I couldn't read Russian, I asked about the train station, and she enthusiastically helped me plan the route and gave me important tips. It was so heartwarming that this hostel made me want to stay in St. Petersburg a little longer (ㄒoㄒ) Highly, highly recommend!!!

Highly recommended for solo travelers! Female-friendly! It's one of the top three hostels I've stayed in. First, the location is conveniently located near Nevsky Prospekt, a 3-minute walk to the subway station and a 1-minute walk to the bus stop. Super convenient transportation. There are supermarkets and restaurants downstairs. Second, the beds are very well designed, taking into full account the user's needs and movement. The beds are spacious, with narrow-step ladders for climbing up and down, and ample storage space inside the beds. There are wall mirrors, clothes racks, and retractable tables. Each bed has its own locker with sufficient space. The shared bathroom is unisex but relatively clean, and there are enough toilets and showers; I never encountered a queue. I recommend staying in the 4-person female dorm. Solo travelers can easily meet many other solo travelers here, making friends and finding travel companions. The front desk staff are all Russian girls, friendly and speak English, so communication isn't a problem. The only downside is: there's no hot water if you shower too late. The only funny thing was that the Chinese translation of the exit sign said: ”Click to exit”.

This hotel is beautiful, very historic, and culturally rich. Its location in the city center is perfect and close to everything. The staff provide top-tier service and utmost respect. Highly recommended for guests who want to be near all major attractions.

An experience that completely exceeded expectations! In fact, I really hope the hotel can see The address seems to be in a residential area. Entering this ”community” requires access control, and the front desk needs to open the door to enter and exit in the Youth Hostel. The safety is very guaranteed. The front desk is all male, about three people are working round and round shifts. The little brother who checked me in on the first day saw that my English was not good. When I spoke English, I was very slow to understand what I would say... I also introduced me to the bathroom, kitchen, breakfast time and personal cabinet usage. The second brother will take the initiative to say hello every time he meets, such as good morning and good evening, have a nice day and the like. I asked him to open a residence certificate. He told me it would take half an hour. After that, I would do other things. He actually sent it to me later. The third brother didn't have much contact. I also like the shower room, it feels clean and humane, and the density of the shower head is just right, and it is really comfortable to take a bath there. Breakfast is bread and jam, in addition to free tea bags, coffee and hot water. Although the door is roll-up, but the sound insulation is also quite good, I also have the habit of wearing earplugs, six nights sleep better. There are lights at the entrance of the bed and the pillow, which is really convenient. The youth travel I live behind can drill in and switch the lights. The personal cabinet is basically under the bed, and you can stuff a 24-inch suitcase. No matter how big it is, it will not work. Really recommended, will choose there if you have the opportunity to go to St Petersburg again

Good value hotel, also the staffs are polite and helpful. Walking distance to the famous attractions, the hotel is in front of the road, but it doesn't noisy. If you don't need to have breakfast, you better tell the staff at reception when you go out, we are so sorry for the male staff who had waited us for asking our selection.

Pros: I met some really fun travel companions here! The location is indeed quite convenient, and there are signs in Chinese. Cons: No elevator, no air conditioning, unbearably hot, and the mattresses were stuffy. It was so hot that I couldn't stand it anymore after two days and applied for cancellation through Ctrip. Even though I communicated with them the night before and until the next day, and managed to check out before midnight, they still charged me an extra night's room rate as a penalty. They didn't refund my vacation fee or registration fee either. The facilities are quite basic, and the common areas lack a social atmosphere. Friends who frequently travel also gave this hostel a rather average review. Perhaps because it's peak season, accommodation in St. Petersburg is quite expensive; for the same price, hostels in Moscow are much better and have much better air conditioning!

The location is good. The room with the 4th floor is very uncomfortable with the suitcase to climb a narrow staircase, there is no elevator. The huge plus that the window goes out to the yard - not noisy. For 50r you can leave things in the storage room (room with video cameras). Very bad with water - pressure in the shower is very weak, for 1 reception the shower was 4 times from hot to cold. Well, hot water was to be poured very long.

The hotel is close to the airport, the front desk staff were patient, and the visa-on-arrival process was quick. The room was fully equipped; you could do laundry, cook, watch TV, and the Wi-Fi was fast. There were a 5-cent supermarket and a Blue Supermarket within 500 meters, making shopping convenient. Also, a deposit was collected upon check-in, which was refunded within one day of check-out, which was very convenient.

The location is very good, very close to the train station and easy to find on the roadside. The room was spacious, the bed was big, the toilet and bathroom were clean. The lady at the front desk was very nice, but then something went wrong. Solved, maybe it was a misunderstanding
