Hostel-museum Red Star in , Ryssland

This is not a hostel, at least not like the ones we´ve been before. Its more like a shared apartment. Anyway, its well decorated and clean. There is not proper staff, just a girl that lives there and tries to help you in basic english. Its kinda far from downtown(15 min walk plus 30 min train), but for the price is definetely worth it. The strangest hostel ever. You can get a feel of how a dozen russians manage to live in a three room apartment. An experience. Cristobal, from Chile ~ 13th Jul 2012

The ladies of the hostel barely speak english, communication with them is very hard. A lot of long-term residents who are not very friendly. Poor breakfast, only porridge. Location is okay, but with instructions it was a bit hard to find. Found it thanks to some friendly locals. Beds are really hard, but after one night you get used to it. No security, sometimes door is open and there is no lock at the door of the room. Spend 4 nights there. Esther, from Netherlands ~ 29th Jun 2012
