벨로호스텔 마라타

В целом - понравилось, но съездил неудачно, но собственным причинам.

Удобно то что в шаговой доступности от невского, отдельный вход без ступеней, 2 этажа.железные кровати. Неудобно то , чтобы сходить в туалет или душ надо проходить через ресепшн..

O quarto era limpo mas o banheiros estavam bem sujinhos. A cozinha era boa e equipada. A localização era boa, perto do metrô. Talvez não voltasse a esse hotel por causa da limpeza do banheiro. The room was clean but the bathrooms were pretty dingy. The kitchen was good and equipped. The location was good, close to the subway. Maybe I would not go back to this hotel because of the cleanliness of the bathroom.

Very helpful staff. They let me keep my bag there after I was checked out, and even printed my train ticket for me.

On the surface the Velohostel Marata looks like a truly 'international' hostel, like you might find in Paris or Amsterdam. However, once you arrive you discover that, being Russian, it's not quite so 'international' after all, with very little information available in anything other than Russian. I'd normally expect a cheery English-speaking receptionist and maybe some details of local excursions or attractions by the check-in desk, but no, even though it offers bike hire on site, the Velohostel doesn't really put itself out. To be fair, the Velohostel is remarkably cheap and is in a pretty good central location in St. Petersburg, just off of the Main Street, Nevsky prospect. The private double room we booked was simple but comfortable, and if you just want somewhere to lay your head, it will do. But the communal areas such as the washing and shower facilities, kitchen, etc. are definitely 'no frills'. You can't even have breakfast unless you book before 7.00pm the night before, so I can't say what that is like. If you're on a tight budget, you could do worse than this hostel. But if you can push the boat out a little, you can get a lot better for not much more in St. Petersburg.
