Hostels in Leningrad Oblast, Russia

"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”."

"A wonderful place - in the hostel stylish, lots of showers and toilets, no crowd, all polite and welcoming. Very enjoyed both attitude and contingent! Recommend!"

"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."

"Очень маленький для двоих номер и ”видом из окна”, конечно, это трудно назвать. Грязное окно очень низкого первого этажа, которое выходит прямо на экскурсионные группы стоящие в метре от окна, очень не комфортно, окно пришлось держать все время зашторенным. Остальное все хорошо, достаточно чисто, приятный интерьер. За исключением очень грязной общей кухни, но мы ей не пользовались."

"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!"
