Clever Hostel Reviews

Clever Hostel is a pretty nice place to stay when visiting Moscow. It's not too big, all the guests seem to know each other, and the location is great.

The Location

The hostel isn't located right in the center, but it's rather easy to get around either by metro; there are a couple of stations about ten minutes' walk away, or if you fancy walking you can still walk to many places to explore the area. The hostel itself is in a little gated yard, next to a fancy cafe (if you happen to arrive very early in the morning, you might find the gate shut, but don't panic -- just bang a little and the night watchman will let you in). There is a great outdoor park just around the corner, and some cafes are nearby as well. The area seems nice and quiet and safe even at night.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The rooms are very small and crowded. There are lockers under the beds, which would have been a great solution if they were bigger, but they're rather small, so the room ends up being full of luggage and stuff and there is barely any space to walk. Other than that, the design is nice and the beds are very comfortable. Each bed has a power outlet and a curtain to give you full privacy. Bathrooms are shared and scattered around the hostel. They are clean and are kept in good condition. Towels are provided and hand soap too.

Common Spaces

We love the common spaces around here. There is a large kitchen and a big lounge. There are tables and seats and a couch, so you can chill and hang out or get some work done. The Wi-Fi works pretty well. If you're bored, you can check out their book selection (it's mostly Russian), and there are also some cards and board games. Also many power outlets, which are very convenient.

There is free drinking water, as well as tea- and coffee-making facilities. There are also some snack machines -- how thoughtful! Oh, and did we mention there is a gym? All in all, there are many distractions to keep you busy. But don't forget to explore the city!

Summary

We love the colorful design, friendly staff, and the lounge. It's really hard to find a comfy lounge to hang out in around town, so that's a really big plus here. We had a nice stay here!
