Pietari Hostellit

Plussat: This was a super hostel! Everything went smoothly from day one, the atmosphere at the hostel was very chill and relaxed and the lounge was a nice place to hang after the day (the couch was amazing!). Cozy vibe all and all. :) + The staff was very helpful, hostel felt secure and you got to sleep your nights in peace, room and beds were super clean and nice, great storage space for your stuff, sound proofs between different areas (kitchen, lounge etc.) and chill background music played in the lounge. Nice!

Plussat: They have an amazing kitchen and lobby. I stayed in female dormitory. Got somany friends there and my solo trip became an amazing group tour. Very clean and comfy beds, very well organized rooms and clean and dry washrooms. They were having some free food and beverages for some events .. and a free cooking class on some particular days ;) how sweet !! If I visit next time , I won’t choose any other hostel. 100 satisfied and thankful

Plussat: Staff was super nice. The little details and atmosphere were great. All clean and tidy. Good location also.

Plussat: Location. Room style and decoration.

Miinukset: Cooking classes occupy the entire kitchen every night.

Plussat: Staff approach. Kitchen facilities

Miinukset: Bathroom is clean, but smell was bad

Plussat: Very clean and accommodating staff. Had a very nice experience

Plussat: Really comfortable rooms and staff were super helpful. The hostel is located near lots of really nice bars and restaurants

Plussat: Nice atmosphere and decoration, well situated, reception girl when we arrived

Miinukset: Lack of understanding of service of all other reception girls, unreliability with laundry, we stayed five night and the room was only (halfheartedly) cleaned after asking for it more than once, hairdryer useless

Plussat: Staff at front desk was nice and smiling. Location : on one side it is close to a metro station but on the other side it’s a bit far away of the touristic attractions of Saint Petersburg. There is a shop open 24h 100m away the hostel. The price we paid was fair.

Miinukset: no AC + no net on windows = lot of mosquitos. The owner requested us to pay for the first night via a Russian website in order to confirm the reservation. This was annoying as we were only given 24h to do so and the website was not working and not looking secure... i would recommend the owner to use the standard booking.com feature for managing deposits. Payment for the rest of our stay was cash only even it says credit card accepted. Cleaning in the bunk bed should be improved (around/under the mattress). We were a bit disappointed by our stay at Taiga as we were expecting a paiement/booking process easier, to better confort (no mosquitos) and a better cleanliness in the beds.

Plussat: Staff was very kind and willing to help me whenever I ask questions. The location was not perfect, but great enough. It is close to Nevsky avenue and metro & bus stop. The room was cozy and warm at night.

Miinukset: 1. My room had a one big double bed and small upper bunk. I slept on the upper bunk and it was not clean. I guess it wasn't used often and that's why. But if I had asked them to clean it, they would have do so because the staff there were all kind and attentive to us. 2. The hostel is around on 2nd or 3rd floor(not remember accurately) without elevator and the building itself was very old and dingy. So although the hostel itself is very new and well maintained, whenever we entered the building it didn't feel very good especially at night time. Those are just small minors. I wouldnt make too big a deal out of it. I was satisfied with the hostel and definitely would consider staying again considering the value for money.

Plussat: It's super cozy and the people are very nice!

Plussat: A nice small hostel in the city center. Great restaurants are just behind the corner. I stayed only for a night and I'm happy with all the facilities the hostel has provided. Super friendly staff. I will definitely stay there one more time.

Miinukset: Maybe if you have to spend more than 1 night I recommend to book the whole room (I had only a bed), but it was not a problem for me. Also, note that there might be a queue to the shower

Plussat: Good central location, not far from metro or other transport routes. The hostel was very accommodating with regards payment, since I had some problems with my bank account when making this booking. My room, bathrooms and showers were very clean - this was probably my highlight.

Miinukset: Honestly cannot think of any problems. For the price, it was really ideal.

Plussat: Hyvä ja siisti hostelli, avulias henkilökunta joka puhui englantia.

Miinukset: Meluisa, johtuen ehkä kisoista ihmisiä ramppasi ovesta keskellä yötä ja osa jäi aulaa/keittiöön juttelemaan. Ovesta kuului puhe selkeästi läpi. Yöunet jäivät vähiin. Ilman tätä olisi ollut hyvä kokemus.

Plussat: Have stayed at Taiga a number of times by now and am planning to stay at this exact property next time I tavel to Saint Pete again.

Plussat: The location is really great. It's quite easy to find, easily accessible from both Baltic Railway Station and Metro Station Baltiyskaia.

Miinukset: The staff of the hostel has really much to be desired. The receptionist who was on duty (18th February/19th February) was extremely rude, she spoke to the 4 children under 18 y.o. in the offensive Russian language, she was really threatening them, they were so scared and shocked by such attitude of the staff that they couldn't fall asleep. Besides, the suite where they were staying wasn't ready by 14 pm, so we had to spend a couple of hours just hanging around and waiting for the room to be ready. And one more thing, they haven't been able to repair a handle in room № 4 ( a 2 persons room) for 2 weeks, our relatives were staying in the same room 2 weeks ago, and even at that time there was the same problem with the handle in that room, the receptionist knew about it , she said they were going to fix it (2 weeks ago), but nothing happened, it doesn't work properly...

Miinukset: Liian kova sänky

Plussat: Nice location

Miinukset: Very bad bathroom

Plussat: Excellent place..friendly staff...good facilities...and clean room...

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Clean and comfortable room, nice beds. OK location. Very good price.

Miinukset: Thin walls - we heard our neighbours snoring; very bad wifi; no breakfast available although we booked this hostel just because it said they offer breakfast - disappointing!

Plussat: Great location, tidy

Miinukset: Very hot in the room. Poor ventilation.

Plussat: Staff is friendly and helpful, they made you feel welcomed!

Miinukset: I'd say communication could be much better. I've advised that I was arriving in the early morning to the hostel (after 6am).. Even though no one told me the main entrance would be closed. I had to call the reception.

Plussat: Good location, easy to get in and out once checked in.

Miinukset: Smoke from outside and from smoking rooms at the hostel came into our room and the halls. Cash only. Furniture in room was broken and not useable.

Miinukset: The hostel does not even exist anymore. I payed in advance and were looking for the hostel. Even with the help of locals. We also tried to call ne phone number, but it was a fake number. Don't book it If you don't wanna loose your money.

Plussat: Everyone who stayed in the hostel were great, wonderful, kind people. The location was good, only a 7-minute walk from Nevsky Prospekt.

Miinukset: I had to switch rooms during my stay. I was not the only one. When I asked why, they told me that a group had booked my room and they needed to move me. Taking a reservation and keeping a reservation seem to be two different things. Also, there are no bike rentals on the property. The "bike" portion of Bedandbike is about 2 blocks away in a hard-to-find basement. The bikes are heavy and many had flat tires. The beds were springy and uncomfortable. Despite what the signs say, people smoke in this hostel and the entire building smells like it. I went to bed each night with the blanket wrapped around my head. The hostel itself is hard to find - it's an unmarked metal, gray door next to a Mister Kebob. The code given upon payment did not open this door.

Plussat: The room is clean and secure.

Miinukset: Staff is not available 24 hours. I came to the place a few time for checkin nobody entertain until someone outside came to enter the place. Very hard to find the location because the sign board is very small and nobody nearby know about the hotel. The entrance of the hostel is smelly and dirty.

Plussat: Except for the hostel's location, there are very few positive things to say.

Miinukset: Mattresses become sheets of paper upon laying on them. The whole place smells like cigarettes. But those would be fine if it weren't for the showers. Oh god, the showers. Please fix them. Barely a slither of water comes out of the shower heads, hot water is intermittent... Frustrating, to say the least.

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli avuliasta, vaikka eivät oikein englantia puhuneet. Sijainti mainio.

Miinukset: Huoneemme oli toisessa kerroksessa, joka haisi röökille alakerran tupakkahuoneen vuoksi.

Plussat: Excellent location, clean rooms, nice beds.

Plussat: Location was good near city center as well as metro station.

Miinukset: The washrooms need to be repairs and maintain, because there was no water in showers and in the kitchen there only cold water.

Plussat: Common areas

Miinukset: Bed was horrible, room7
