On the website I booked a double room, but I had to stay in a room for 4 people. The site did not honored the commitment.

This is an excellent hostel. Need a map to get there and they supply one if asked. Mini mart nearby. Staff are very helpful and friendly I would definitely stay there again.

It was super hot in Moscow, around 100 degrees, when we stayed at there. Maybe that was unusual weather, but I think the hostel should have a few fans that guest could check out. We had very poor sleep, which adversely affected our sight-seeing.

Neither the Moscow hostel or Godzillas Hostel in Suzdal where we also stayed were air conditioned or had fans. Both were very hot at night and as a result most uncomfortable for sleeping. Suzdal did not have any kitchen cooking facilities which made it difficult to prepare food.

Hostel Overview
Godzillas is Moscow's largest and best-known hostel. It was the first independent hostel to open in Moscow and has been featured in The New York Times, Newsweek and The Daily Telegraph.The hostel is situated in a historical pre-revolutionary building in the centre of Moscow. We are a short walk from all the major tourist attractions (Kremlin, Pushkin Square etc...). The nearest Metro stations are Tsvetnoi Bulvar (3 minutes) and Tverskaya / Pushkinskaya (5 minutes).
We have the widest selection of private rooms (singles, twins and triples) and dorm rooms (4 beds – 10 beds) in Moscow.
We have been operating since 2005 and have extensive knowledge of Moscow and Russia and we will try and help you in any way we can. Besides beds we offer invitations, registration (R600), taxi pick up, Trans-Siberian advice and train tickets.
Godzillas is English owned and American run. It was described in the Lonely Planet (2009 edition) as ‘the best managed hostel’ in Moscow.
Visa support invitations are provided.
