Good hostel in Saint Petersburg
Good location - a lot of different cafes, restaraunts, bars, supermarkets just near by. Metro station is in 5 minutes by foot. Nice common area and well-equiped kitchen. Room is clean and quiet. A lot of bathrooms so there were no lines in the morning. Administrator was nice, I arrived quite early but she has made check-in very fast.

Unhygienic & unfriendly
Filthy restrooms, 3rd floor hostel with no elevator and plenty of flight of stairs. Staff is least friendly and unapologetic for broken appliances/dirty washrooms. Definitely thumbs down!

Excellent hospitality
I stayed there for two weekends. It is conveniently located near a Metro station and within a walking distance from the city centre. The people at the reception are very helpful and the place is well maintained. I will stay there again when I have a chance to visit St. Petersburg again.

Wonderful Location
It was a great hostel in an amazing location and all of the workers were so helpful and wonderful. They were all amazing. The only problem we had with the hostel was that the showers dirty as there were many people staying at the hostel and the bathrooms are shared. Other than that it was amazing!

Weird room size
Indeed it's a great location with breakfast and that's the reason we had selected this place for our 4 days stay. However we were very much surprised when 3 of us were put into such a small room where we even could not keep our luggage due to 3rd bed. While booking the room it showed 14 sq mt but we were given much smaller room which was not even 9 sq. mt. Manager could not give us satisfactory answer and to avoid any dispute we had to accept whatever was given to us. Shower rooms badly stink. Complementary breakfast was nice.

Pretty nice, rooms are rather small, bathroom is shared. Other than that, judging by the close-by hotel prices, it is a nice overall place to sleep.

Nice little hostel, but big issues with cleanliness of showers and toilets during our stay. Basic breakfast on weekdays, nice pancakes on Saturday. Very good and clean communal kitchen.

One of the best hostels I've seen
First off, this is a hostel, not a hotel. That means shared bathrooms, which also means everything isn't pristine-clean in your own private bath. People who want the hotel experience shouldn't stay in a hostel. That said, I found this to be one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. It was quite clean, well-designed, and had a great kitchen. There was actually a mix-up with the type of room we'd reserved, but the staff went out of their way to make it right. It has a nice common area that allows socializing, but it's also not a "party hostel." Nice balance between social and quiet. The neighborhood is great, if pricey. It's also quite close to the subway, and an easy 1-subway-stop from the major train station. I was very happy with my stay here.

BEST HOSTEL EVER
Babushka House is just the best hostel I've stayed so far. The bed is just so comfy, the shower is great, it is located right in the heart of the city in a walking distance from a lot of sights. Perfect if you are travelling alone too because the guests are young and I made great friends. The people from reception are great too, they are friendly and efficient, they took care of my taxis and they always do their best to make your stay better.

Centrally located party hostel
Great location near the Bladimiskaya/Dostoeskaya metro station (located in the inner yard, can´t hear the traffic noise at all), clean spacious room and use of the washing-machine. BUT hostel has no rules for guests nor keeps the hostel's doors locked. Located on the top floor of the building (4th) and no lift. Roomkey is given to who ever asks for it, staff didn´t check ID or name. A party hostel and staff does nothing to intervene to the 2am-6am partying. Stayed for 4 nights and didn´t sleep during the nights,staff´s comment was: "It´s normal that in dormitory for 6 persons there would be after-parties." Slamming of doors, screaming, domestic violence and drinking. Staff never did anything, left all responsability of night peace upon other guests. Avoid this hostel if possible.

THIS IS NOT A HOTEL
THIS LOCATION IS NOT A HOTEL. ALTHOUGH THEY CHARGE YOU FOR HOTEL ROOM, IT'S A HOSTEL. IN DESCRIPTION NO WORD ABOUT THIS PLACE BEING A HOSTEL. SHOWERS AND RESTROOMS ARE SHARED AND FILTHY! IT'S A TOTAL REAP OFF. THEY SAID THAT, MY CREDIT CARD WAS NOT CHARGED AND I PAID AGAIN. I ALWAYS USE THIS SITE FOR BOOKING OF MY TRIPS AND NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED LIKE THIS!!!!! DO NOT STAY THERE!

Ночлежка для отчаявшихся
Персонал не умеет здороваться и прощаться, даже в ответ. Вместо "спасибо" и "пожалуйста" они говорят "угу", кроме одной единственной ресепшионистки из четверых, и то, только потому что она новенькая. Единственное преимущество этой ночлежки для сирых и убогих, в том, что она в центре, в остальном, здесь собрано все худшее, что может быть в отеле: 1. Шум за окном их бара до 5 утра, даже если закрыть окно. 2. Тонкие фанкрные стены, слышно, не просто, как кто-то включает музыку на кухне, а даже, как за 4 закрытыми дверями, люди разговаривают и ржут. 3. Админы не дают чеки за дополнительные услуги и ныкают оставленную постояльцами еду с вместо того, чтобы выложить её на общую полку, как это обычно делается. 4. На кухне на столе всегда крошки и мусорка горой. 5. Поведение других соседей никак не корректируется администрацией, если человек в 2 часа ночи сидит на кухне и на полной громкости смотрит фильм, что слышно как минимум в шести близлежащих комнатах, то админы не попросят его сделать потише или взять наушники, а присоединятся и будут ржать ещё громче самого нарушителя правил общежития. 6. Здесь тесно, воняет, душно и не чисто. 7. Мой личный топ 1 - общая душевно-туалетная комната для мужчин и женщин. Чистишь зубы и слушаешь, как в кабинке в полуметре от тебя, кто-то справляет нужду.

清潔で快適な宿
観光場所から少し遠いが徒歩圏内だし、何よりモスクワ駅と食事、買い物、バーニャに近い。生意気にも個室とったが快適で設備もよかったし、スタッフも親切だった。宿としてはかなりいいと思う。滞在登録に時間がかかり、なかなかチェックインできなかったのと追加費用は残念だったが。 フロントが24時間体制ではないので、夜遅い時・朝早い時は電話で呼び出しをかけないといけないのには困った(私携帯持ってなかったんで、通りかかったお兄ちゃんに電話させた、ごめん) 全体的にはかなり快適にの~んびり過ごせたので有難かったです。

룸에는 창이 없고 에어컨 리모컨은 조절이 안됩니다. 특히 배드에 스프링이 망가져 불편하였고 샤워실은 청결하나 쾌적하지는 않았습니다. 아마 이방만 안좋았던것 같습니다. 그러나 매우친절한 직원에 감동받고 가족처럼 지낼수 있어 모든불편함은 사라집니다. 위치적으론 베스트입니다.

Sehr guter Aufenthalt im Babushka House
Babushka House entspricht voll und ganz der angegebene Beschreibung. Die Lage ist sehr gut. Man hat nur wenige Gehminuten zur Metro bzw. zum Nevskiy Prospekt. Also sehr zentral. Die Zimmer sind zweckmäßig eingerichtet und sauber. Die Gemeinschaftsküche war auch völlig in Ordnung. Das Gemeinschafsbad war ok. Bei unserem Aufenthalt waren die Duschvorhänge alles andere als schön, wurden aber nach und nach ausgetauscht. Das Personal ist super nett und hilft sehr gerne weiter bei Problemen oder Fragen. Auch sehr gute Insidertipps bekommt man. Alles in allem ist die Unterkunft sehr gut geeignet für einen Städtetripp. Preis-Leistung stimmen hier zu 100%. Wenn ich das nächste Mal nach Sankt Petersburg fahre, werde ich wieder das Babushka House buchen. Empfehlenswert.

В целом, хорошо.
Чистенько и уютно. Впервые в жизни решила остановиться в хостеле. Обычно снимала квартиру или отель, поэтому ожидала худшего. Но мне все понравилось. Единственный момент - дефицит полотенец! Это совсем не айс, ребята! Закупите полотенца!

Это не гостиница, а ХОСТЕЛ!!!! Я был неприятно удивлен, когда обнаружил, что: комнатёнка с двумя односпальными кроватями не имеет окон (!), туалеты и душевые общие и расположены на этаже. Возможно, эта информация указана на сайте, но ЗАЧЕМ ХОСТЕЛ НАЗЫВАТЬ ГОСТИНИЦЕЙ??? Спасло то, что я служил в армии и жил в общежитии...

В гостях у Бабушки
Расположение - главный плюс! В центре, Невский в трех минутах ходьбы, но при этом во внутреннем дворе, что позволяет ночью спать в тишине и покое. Внутренний двор напомнил мне мой римский двор, где я однажды снимала жилье. Люблю за это Питер. Помимо прочего в хостеле молодежная атмосфера и яркие цвета оформления, демократические условия. Наличие кухни. Несколько душей и туалетов. Мне понравилось все! Буду советовать!

Babushka house, a good choice for the money!
Babushka House is a really good hostel. This hostel is located really close to a metro station and it is very easy to find because they have good signs to find the hostel. The staff is really nice and will do everything they can so u have a good experience there, and they also speak english. The restrooms and the showers is okey, not the best, but they are clean and in an okey condition. I will recommend this hostel to everyone who will find a place to sleep for just a few bucks while u are in the city. I think this is a good choice for the money!
