Good hostel. It's quite clean, quiet, and peaceful. The location is convenient, with the metro within walking distance. Kazan Cathedral is a 25-minute walk away.
The beds are comfortable. Each bed has a locker and two drawers: one under the bed and another on the wall behind the curtain.
The common area offers free water, tea, coffee, and sugar.
They host evening movie screenings with popcorn. These are quiet and don't disturb guests resting in their rooms.
The administrators are very friendly and helpful. There are many foreign tourists and Chinese guests, but even the Chinese guests are not noisy.
At first glance, there don't seem to be many showers and restrooms. However, in reality, there are enough, and I never saw any queues.
My stay was comfortable.
Convenient location, stayed for 5 nights, health is very good, see a few aunts take turns to clean every day, public bathroom and toilet are sufficient. 250 rubles can be opened to live proof, 100 rubles if you store your luggage. The front desk has basically been there, the girls at the front desk can communicate in English, and the boys at the front desk need to translate Russian with their mobile phones.
The location is good. The room with the 4th floor is very uncomfortable with the suitcase to climb a narrow staircase, there is no elevator.
The huge plus that the window goes out to the yard - not noisy.
For 50r you can leave things in the storage room (room with video cameras).
Very bad with water - pressure in the shower is very weak, for 1 reception the shower was 4 times from hot to cold. Well, hot water was to be poured very long.
Location: Right behind Kazan Cathedral, about a 7-minute walk along the street. Not remote, right on the main street. One of the girls in my room often came back after midnight, so it felt relatively safe to me.
Transportation: The metro station is right next to Kazan Cathedral, and the train station is within 3km. However, there's usually no subway, so you have to walk everywhere. After staying a few days, I realized everyone should learn to take the bus; it makes things much easier.
Service: The receptionists speak English and are very friendly. Several guests seemed to be regulars—one was over 80, and a few were women in their 40s—but they were all quite nice.
Cleanliness: The place was fairly clean. There are four toilets and four shower stalls. Five faucets for washing, all in one place, unisex. To be honest, sometimes using the toilet was a bit awkward and uncomfortable; for example, if you were defecating, there might be two men urinating next to you.
Apart from the toilets, I personally thought everything was good.
