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.

There's no sign for the hostel from the street, but you can use the address as a guide, and the entrance will be through an arch with an iron gate. You'll need to ring the bell, and security will open the gate. Pull the door toward you. Then, go straight ahead, and the hostel door will be on the left through the arch. This is the best hostel I've ever stayed at. I recommend it without hesitation, and book for as many days as you need at once. If international apps like Trip.com show no availability, you can contact your receptionist or use Russian booking apps, as sometimes there are availability, but international apps may show no availability. This is a clean and quiet hostel. The staff is very polite and always helpful when I contacted them. Everything you need is nearby: restaurants, bakeries, a Magnit grocery store... The area is good. The shower and toilet are combined, everything is clean. Shower gel, liquid hand soap, and paper towels are provided. The bed linens and towels are clean. The kitchen has everything you need. Breakfast is included: drinking yogurt, coffee, tea, toast, and two types of jam. A toaster, glassware, and metal utensils are available. Upon checkout, we were allowed to leave our suitcase in a special storage room. Incredible place, everything was perfect. Thank you for your hospitality!

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.

Location: Right behind Kazan Cathedral, about a 7-minute walk along the street. Not remote, right on the main street. One of the girls in my room often came back after midnight, so it felt relatively safe to me. Transportation: The metro station is right next to Kazan Cathedral, and the train station is within 3km. However, there's usually no subway, so you have to walk everywhere. After staying a few days, I realized everyone should learn to take the bus; it makes things much easier. Service: The receptionists speak English and are very friendly. Several guests seemed to be regulars—one was over 80, and a few were women in their 40s—but they were all quite nice. Cleanliness: The place was fairly clean. There are four toilets and four shower stalls. Five faucets for washing, all in one place, unisex. To be honest, sometimes using the toilet was a bit awkward and uncomfortable; for example, if you were defecating, there might be two men urinating next to you. Apart from the toilets, I personally thought everything was good.

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.

Overall there is good, but the room was already very small for two. 5 nights. Happy cleanliness in the shower zone, good washing machine with dry, everything automated, the hotel is located close to the train station, the metro station and the Nevsky Avenue. Of the downsides: We got a very small room with a spring mattress, still in the kitchen there were frequent evening-night meetings of workers-guests who live there on a long-term basis (4 floor), in the refrigerator food is better not to leave.
