The the hostels have become too numerous for me to attempt listing all of them so I'll only show my favourites. To be added to this list the hostel has to have been inspected by me and/or recommended by your guests. Simple submissions by owners can no longer be accepted.
Basilica - Last visited end of November 2010. Still on the "approved" list. Recommended because of location (Kitai-Gorod) and professionalism with which it is run. Located on church premises, which adds charm.

The Napoleon Hostel near Metro Kitay-Gorod. Absolutely prime location. Shared rooms only. Very close to the KGB headquarters, Technology Museum, Lutheran Church. No curfew. Good feedback with special praise for the hostel's owner Richard. Want the area but tires of fellow backpackers? Try Dimitry, who can offer you a private room for $20 in the same area. Yes, the whole room!
Galina at Chistye Prudy. $10-something/night (MAY BE OUTDATED!!!!). The location just doesn't get any better. Responds to inquiries fast. Lots of cats in the house. See the Lonely Planet discussion of Galina's Dorm. And let me use this opportunity to declare that I don't like the LP types. Not because they are cheap. That I could easily live with. There is such thing however as knowing too much and trying to do things just too right, which means a barrage of e-mails. The administrative overhead over-informed backpackers generate is several times greater than that of an average travelling millionaire. The irony is that I'm more likely to offer a discount to someone with money than to penny-lickers. (That was my Nov. 20, 2003 beef of the day.). Galinas telephone: +7 495 921-6038.

in a place that calls a bit of Soviet paraphernalia
"authentic Russian spirit". Adding this offer to the list
for the sake of completeness only. |
