  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I stayed there in September which is already off season. All the doubles were full but the dormitories with 5 beds were almost empty, so I had the room 2 nights to myself.

    The price for a bed in the dormitory was 570 roubles with the member card, breakfast included. Check out time 11 am (strict). Only one key to a room.

    If you are too late to make a booking via IBN or internet, just call them. They don't register your visa if the visa support is not from them but they give you an address where they do it for you for 550 roubles but it takes at least 24 hours.

    Unique Qualities: There is a kitchen, luggage storage room, toilets on each floor but the showers are on the first floor. Breakfast was first from 8-10 and then suddenly changed to 9-11. The old babushkas are very ridig but if you speak some Russian they can be very nice. You are not supposed to sit longer than 20 minutes at breakfast which consists of tea or coffee, white bread, a slice of cheese, butter, jam, hard boiled egg, orange juice and cereal.

     Enjoyed reading yr tips and seeing yr pics of St.Pete. I lived here for 5 years and still consider it one of my 2nd homes. Loved the dog in the pack on a bike pic. Did you see the 'official' Ermitage cats who reside there as mouse catchers? Tim

     Very interesting for me to read about St Petersburg and to see your sunny photos - when we were there it was still Leningrad and very cold & snowy. PS loved the cat photos too :)

     I envy you the experience of living in St Petersburg. The reality is probably not as romantic as the idea but it makes great reading. Very practical tips,especially transport and accommodation. Hope I can use them soon :))
