| My only complaint is on the entrance, which is almost impossible to find. It took me 20 minutes even though I had passed by the door several times. I only found it because someone from the store next door told me where it was.
The main door to the hostel is right at the arch entrance of the building that leads to the courtyard. There are several stickers in Cyrillic stating that it's a hostel. I think only one tiny sticker is in English, which is easily missed! The arch entrance gets VERY dark at night, but that should post no security concerns, as it is right by the main road, Nevsky Prospect. The hostel is on the top floor, so take the old-style mechanical elevator. The ride is safe but an experience in itself. | ||
