Pilau Hostel Reviews on Other Websites
The room was good,but the staff who work in there,some of them are very bad,bad attitude and bad english.(the staff didnt told us the kitchen for staff only,so when we got into the kitchen put down the dishes after our breakfast,the staff shouted to us.very rude)   — Pui YING, Hong Kong (2011-11-07) Hostelsclub
I stayed here only 1 night January, the room was excellent, very roomy, the bed was very comfortable. Bathroom facilities were top class and very clean, in fact the whole hostel was very clean and tidy. For internet i always used computers of hostel without any payment. As for location, just a short stroll and you are on Nevsky Prospekt, the main street of St Petersburg, so i couldn't have asked for a better location. English speaking staff are always ready to help. Pilau Hostel made our trip to Russia so enjoyable, it was great to come back to the lovely room every evening! i'll come again, sure!   — Roger, Philippines (2011-02-04) Hostelsclub

First of all, I would recommend this hostel to everyone!!! Really nice place, just a short walk from the Nevsky Prospect (main street). Located directly in the center close to metro station and train station, to Vladimirsky market and very good supermarket (L&Land), to cash automats and to all sightseeing in walking distance (palaces and churches, the State Hermitage Museum, the State Russian Museum, St. Isaac’s Cathedral, Dvortzovaya Square (where main city celebrations take place). I very much appreciated the cleanliness of the hostel. I am delighted with the free additional services (free internet and PC, wi-fi, tea, coffee, linen, towels, use of washing machine…..). I lived alone in a charming 4 bedded room with plasma tv. I was recommended by lovely stuff to have a breakfast in a restaurant nearby. It was very tasty and chip. Thank you girls!!!   — R, USA (2010-01-11) Hostelsclub
As we said before, one of the better hostels we've ever stayed before! Best Regards Joeri Jeff Naomi!   — Joeri, Belgium (2009-08-11) Hostelsclub
It was great hostel. Nice and clean!   — Mieko, Japan (2009-07-19) Hostelsclub
Nothing to improve : the hostel is clean, the staff very helpful and likeable, all this in a good atmosphere.   — Julien, France (2009-06-11) Hostelsclub
I didn’t expect hostel in Russia to be so clean and cozy. Staff is really helpfull and speaking fluently english. There’re actually free internet, WiFi and Skype! And FREE coffee&tea at kitchen. It’s possible to watch dvd in the kitchen. I paid only for my accommodation. There’s wonderful stucco on the stairs and in the room I lived. I was told that it’s 134 years old and has been renovated last year. The hostel is situated in the very center of the city, it’s about five minutes walk to the middle of Nevsky prospect, Rubinshteina is an adjacent street. There’re two minutes to the metro, so I didn’t spend money for trips: everything I wanted to see is on walking distance. Also it’s near train station (to Moscow etc), near Helsinki bus departure. Hope to stay in Pilau again!!!! Norman, Germany   — Norman, Germany (2009-05-28) Hostelsclub
