Rinaldi at Moscovsky Prospect II

Great hostel, clean and comfortable, it has everything you need, you can even cook or make yourself breakfast. Free Wi-Fi, hot water running all the time, toilette accessories provided, the room has been cleaned regularly during our stay. Location is also very convenient-you have plenty of restaurants, cafes and supermarkets nearby, also metro station is less than 10 mins walk, there is also a bus stop even closer. I would highly recommend this place - it is the best value for money! I would definitely stay there again next time!

The only thing I find to be much of a hassle is that you need to pay a deposit of 1000 RUB for the room key and after you check out you have to write an email to specifically ask for this money to be refunded back to you which is not very convenient. Also, the 24-hour reception where you have to go to get registered and take the key is really very close to the property but still at reception they didn't quite explained well where the apartment is located so we spent around 25 mins going back and forth in the neighbourhood to search for the hostel entrance. Luckily we found a local woman who gave us directions and it turned out it is indeed very close to the reception building but I do think that receptionists can give you a bit more exact directions of how to reach your apartment area.
