The place looked like an abandoned building. When I tried to enter, I nearly puked because of the odor. Shoes are scattered on the floor near the entrance. No one was there to accommodate me. I waited for a while outside, and decided to leave upon weighing my options.

The accommodation is good, easy to get around, and convenient. There's a mini-mart nearby. The location is great for going for walks. The accommodation is decorated in a unique style.

Warm place. Shower quality needs to improve tho

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.

There was someone to help with check-in in the evening. The location was great, next to a McDonald's, 3 minutes to the cathedral, and 10 minutes to the Green Bazaar. It was convenient to get around. There was a cat there, and it was very friendly.

The staff was friendly.
The room was a little shabby, but it was fine if you didn't mind.
The location was great.

The hostel's location was excellent.
Panfilov Park, Zenkov Cathedral, and Arbat Park(?) were right nearby.
However, the facilities were a bit lacking.
Cleanliness needs to be improved.

Unfortunately, the hostel is very old. There are places to rest, yes. But the bathroom is falling apart, it is dirty, stuffy. There is no air conditioning. The room is very small for 6 people, the doors creak… In general, I really want to do some repairs to this place.

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.

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.
