The only good thing about this hostel is the location, close to Tverskaya (metro, restaurants, markets). The hostel is in an old communist building, very dirt. The rooms are really small (the dorms are small, I don't know about the apartments which are in a different place), very different from the pictures shown in Hostelworld.com. Staff sleeps until 10 o'clock, so don't arrive early.

Rather uninviting looking Soviet era exterior, steel door and communal stair of this apartment block belied the much more promising interior of this 3 bedroom shared flat, which was spacious and in some ways even rather grandly appointed, apart that is from the bed, which was very poor with sheets and covers which were too small and a dirty old mattress which should have been recycled a long time ago. A pity - would have recommended, but for the bed which was totally inadequate.

We stayed in a private room which is housed in an apartment across teh road from the main hostel

no one else was there so we had a full moscow apartment to ourselves for the price of a hostel !!!

everything was really clean and the facilities were good except the internet which was not working.

The staff were very friendly and the main hostel is nice except there is no common area other than a kitchen table which is usually occupied

would definitely reccomend staying here.

No sign on the outside of the building so make sure you know the address

Was easy to find but the administrator was not around when we arrived. We walked around Moscow with our bags and tried about an hour later. Administrator was in another building of the hostel doing some housekeeping. The place we stayed was the building that the administrator was cleaning and it was like a mini hotel instead of a dorm. The alley leading to this building could be quiet at night but it's close the one of the busiest street in Moscow. The price of the hostel is pretty expensive for us but according to a local, it's relatively average price for hostels in the locality since it is almost in the centre of town.
Staff was friendly and nice, though on the 2nd day, another staff took over and she was not fluent in English so we had a bit of difficulty speaking to her.
