Fodor's Expert Review Hostel Life
47 Nevsky pr., St. Petersburg, St.-Petersburg, 191025, Russia
Spartan but stylish, these basic and clean lodgings have two draws—price and a location right in the fashionable center of the city. This member of IYH offers a choice between dorm rooms and a small number of coveted singles and doubles. The multilingual staff is friendly and available 24 hours a day; a communal kitchen is fully equipped; and the public areas include nice lounges and a small library.
PROS
- cheap, handy, and clean
- quite attractive
- laundry facilities — a rarity in St. Petersburg
CONS
- it's a hostel
- shared baths
- young guests may be a plus or a minus, depending on your age and tolerance
