Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Honestly the most impressive thing about this place is an atmosphere and people we met. Each and everyone of them was generous, intelligent, beautiful people! Especially administrators and owners ❤️. We could talk hours about everything drinking a lot of tea and coffee in the cozy dinning room. Little secret: sometimes we didn't even wanted to go outside 😋.

The Hostel is great!!, not a very easy place to find tough, wich just add some character to the place. Location couldn`t be better, not so far from the center that one cannot walk and not too crowded. All the ADMINISTRATORS(as they say)live in the place and as they are young and full of life it makes the place an ideal hub to meet and get to understand a BIT of the Russian behaviour(I peesonally loved it). Price is fantastic and everything works to perfection, I would definitely recommend this Hostel to anyone!!! Ps: by the way if you could spend some time to talk to SASHA, I am sure one would be impressed.

We were thanking the heavens for letting us choose Gogol Mogol. This was indeed very small hostel with just a few bunk beds but that was what made it so special. There is no reception, no house rulles, nothing reminding u r in a hostel. Administrators are always around, usually like everyone else, by the big dinning table, so while u eat your breakfast or dinner they eat it too. And while they do so they are willing to give u reccomendation of where to go and what to do. Or just have a friendly chat in russian or english. This is basically like visiting friends abroad! We had fantastic 3 days with Viera, Kim, Dimitriey and others. We highly recommend Gogol Mogol :)

I spent there 9 days in September, it was a great experience with nice and helpful people. I would recommend this place to anyone who travels to Saint Petersburg. It is a small but cosy place with a special atmosphere. There ,you have everything you need and you will feel like at home. Furthermore, Sain Petersburg is a wonderful city with nice architecture and buildings, water channels, and great nightlife.Go there and enjoy it. As someone said One cannot understand Russia by reason, One cannot measure her by a common measure ,She has a special kind of grace,One can only believe in Russia .

We stayed in the hostel for 3 days. It is quite out of the way though being close to the metro means that you can travel within 20 mins to the historic centre. The hostel is truly a tiny hostel being administered by students/long term hostel users. Thus being so, it is tidy but more can be done about the cleanliness especially on the room. There is also flooding about in the shower which can be mucky to use especially at peak time. Overall, we met pleasant administrators who were helpful however, a slight incident came about where there seemed to be overbooking and we were requested to move out despite having paid for our nights for new comers. And since the owner was not present and the administrators not having full information of the situation, it was frustrating to sort things out though things sorted itself out at the end. Overall, I would say that it is of value if one do not mind that it is a small hostel. The hostel is equipped with free Wifi and being very close to market which makes self catering easy.

I really enjoyed to spend my holiday in St.Peterburg at Gogol-Mogol. All the staff is very kind and they help you with all the problem you could have. They make you feel as in a family. The atmosphere is very intimistic and all the hostel is very clean.You can find a lot of comforts like free wi-fi, washing machine, hair dryer etc. It is also in a good location because there are a lot of supermarkets (one of them is 24 hours open) and other kind of shops and also fast food. the metro station is near and with it you can reach the center in 10 minutes. I strongly recommand this hostel for your holiday!

I stayed in this hostel for a month and I have to say that the accomodation was always clean, confortable and I felt at home. The kitchen and the bathrooms are good equipped, the wi-fi system works fast. The relationship price-quality is really excellent. Moreover the owner of the hostel and all the guys that work here are very friendly and nice! If I come back in St. Petersburg, I'm sure that I will choose Gogol Mogol again. Paola

The first impression about the hostel is that you are at home. It is an very intimistic atmosphere with not so many people so you feel at home. The hostel has 3 rooms with a lot of space to sleep and take your luggage. There is a kitchen and a comon table where you can meet a lot of peaple from all over the world.It is very good locaitioned. If is summer you take around 30 minuts by walk to get on the center, but if you go by metro you take only 10 minuts to get on center. Close to the hostel there are around 3 or 4 supermarkets and one of them is 24 hours open. I recommend for students, couples and business trip.

Gogol Mogol is honestly a great hostel. The staff Julia, Sasha and Dasha really make you feel welcome and you feel like they welcome into their family rather than welcome you are a guest. They always try to help you and actually care about you. The hostel is very nice and comfortable and very very clean and warm. The free internet is a good bonus and the shops are near, along with the metro. tip: try julia's (the staff) tea!

I would reccomend this hostel to people who come to St. Petersburg for some days. You can not only sleep, eat and take a shower, but also meet interesting people here! There's really friendly atmosphere. Communicating with Sasha and Julia (the owners of Gogol-Mogol) you feel some special St. Petersburg culture! About rooms etc. The design is really nice and simple. Big rooms without unnecessary stuff - just bads, a table and small lockers. A spacious dinning room with a big table, where the guests usually chat eating their breakfast. Two shower baths are very clean. If you're travelling and want to stop somewhere in Petersburg, choose Gogol-Mogol ))
