Cuba Hostel

Great!
I stayed in this hostel for nine nights in a room for ten people. The hostel's location is really very central, it's just behind the Kazanysky sobor and less than one hundred meters from Nevsky prospekt. There is a supermarket not far from it (on Sennaya square). It's pretty easy to find, they give you detailed information about it's location. The hostel itself is rather big, it has two floors, each with a kitchen (with pans, plates, and stuff), about five or six rooms, and three showers. The staff speaks English. They have a rather cosy common room. The whole place is kept clean. Once in a month they organize "vodka drinking party." The atmosphere is ok, not to noisy, but not dull. The only thing we didn't like is that we had to wait for two hours to get in our room and you have to leave a deposit if you want to use the lockers. In conclusion, this is a real hostel, with all the facilities one hostel should have, but for those who travel on a shoestring budget -- isn't possible to find a cheaper accommodation in St Petersburg.

Everything you need
this hostel is everything you need. friendly and helpful staff, good place to find information, cosiest beds, functional kitchen, perfect location.

One of the worst hostels I stayed in, but very good location
The location of the hostel is great -- very central and there is free Internet. It is not very clean (dorms and bathroom) and it is very noisy, especially for the four dorms next to the kitchen where there is loud music until 2 a.m. The sheets were too short to cover the whole bed.

This hostel is incredibly friendly and welcoming and lies at the very heart of St. Petersburg, just off Nevskii prospekt, behind Kazan Cathedral. Modern and fresh, it has a decent kitchen and entertainment with DVDs if you're bored of wandering the streets of beautiful Piter. Run by young staff with an interest in you and the world, it is a refreshing change to the level of hospitality you might in other more expensive establishments in Russia! It's cheap, central, clean, and friendly -- what more could you want?
