The location is very good, very close to the cathedral, and around 15 mins walk to a metro station. Close to restaurants and shops. But many things need to be improved or replaced. The mattresses are so worn out, the pillow is so hard and rough to sleep on. And we have to make our own bed. The door locks are quite broken. There are a total of 3 showers for the whole hostel, when it's not busy it's ok, but hard to imagine if the hostel is full.

The hostel was easy to find find and is quite central. The dorm room was fine, although you have to prepare your own bedding (which doesn't seem to quite fit). The power outlet next to my bed didn't work and one of the showers didn't work either. The girl at reception is really nice and works hard. She arranged a midnight Yandex taxi for me to go to the airport.

Ideal location, 1 minute walk from the cathedral and close to restaurants, bars etc. Rooms are fine but the bathrooms weren’t great, they weren’t very clean and the showers were either cramped or broken.

호스텔의 위치는 너무나도 훌륭했습니다. 근처에 바로 판필로프 공원, 젠코프 성당, 아르바트 공원(?)이 있습니다. 그러나 시설은 조금 별로입니다. 청결에 신경을 써야 합니다.

К сожалению, хостел очень старый. Есть места для отдыха, да. Но ванна разваливается, грязно, душно. Кондиционера нет.  Комната очень маленькая для 6 человек, двери скрипят…  В общем, очень хочется поделать ремонта этому месту.

工作人員很友好。 房間環境衞生有一點差,不介意的話沒有問題。 地理位置很好。
