Huge sprawling beautifully outfitted hostel with 20 rooms, 2 of everything: Wifis, bathrooms, refridgerators, very big living room and kitchen; far out and very remote seeming but there is a direct bus to Svobody Pl (center), another to Train Station, another to Metro Centralny Rinok (Constitutesy Pl); very good cheap shops and kiosks, supermarket + drugstore in the immediate area. What you get with very remote, is space to breathe, and not live like rats. Rooms are nice with many single beds, tables, and all-important lockers; and there are enough of them for semi-privacy, esp in the off season. People are mostly longer-term so one doesn't get the theft threat one does in some places- phone thieves now target places without lockers!

Only catch is baby hours- people are supposed to be in their room or bed by 11pm, and face "fines" if they don't... or make too much noise, or leave a mess in the kitchen. The result of maybe ex-student dorm status (or manager's experience). So maybe not the best place for a night owl.

The hostel was free from any chemical smells; smells that are all too frequent in these older Soviet buildings. Furniture was in good condition, stylish and fitting. Wallpaper and interior decor was done exceptionally well for this price bracket. Didn't have any problems with other guests being noisy, drunk, or otherwise unpleasant. Receptionist was very gracious and efficient.

One wall outlet didn't work.
