"It should be one of the few youth hostels in Vladivostok that can be booked on domestic platforms. When I made the reservation, I didn’t have any valid reviews. I will carefully talk about the advantages and disadvantages for the reference of future friends:
-advantage:
The location is good, you can see the Orthodox Church from the window, and you can see Victory Square when you go downstairs. I booked this location for one night when I was in my early 80s, and it was really good for me;
Overall relatively clean and tidy;
The public areas are large, including restaurants and study areas;
The restaurant has refrigerators, microwaves and other kitchen utensils, so it’s no problem if you want to cook by yourself;
There is a hair dryer, three sinks, two showers, and two toilets in the women's bathroom. No matter whether you are taking a shower, washing up, or going to the toilet, you have never had to queue up.
-shortcoming:
The four-person room I wrote about actually had three bunk beds or six beds in total. I went there at the end of July, perhaps during the peak season, and there were six people staying there every night;
There seems to be a bar downstairs or something. I stayed for a total of five nights. On three nights, music and drinking were played downstairs until one or two in the morning. Especially on Friday nights, it didn't stop until after three in the morning.
Roommates may snore and affect their sleep (but this is a common problem in youth hostels;
I live in a girl's room, but there is a mother who is raising her son. He sleeps in the same bed with her in our room at night. The son is about five or six years old. I personally feel a little uncomfortable;
My toiletries were unopened in the cabinet in the public area but disappeared. There was no surveillance in that area and the administrator said that I should lock it myself. Although it was not a valuable item, I still felt uncomfortable;
There was a cockroach on the bed, and it crawled across my sheets when I stayed up late playing with my phone.
Finally, attach a photo of the Orthodox church looking out from the living room window, a photo of the kitchen and dining table in the common area, and a photo of the self-study area."
