The Best Hostels To Book In St Petersburg

Only 10 years ago, finding a cheap place to stay was quite a challenge in St Petersburg. In 2005, the city had little more than 10 hostels. Nowadays, the number of hostels in the city has reached more than 100, and travellers have a much easier time of finding a place that fits their budget, location and design preferences. However, there are a few hostels that stand out among the rest. We’ve selected the best hostels in St Petersburg – bookable on Culture Trip.

1. Soul Kitchen Hostel

Hostel

This hostel in St Petersburg is known as the best one in the world after receiving several prestigious industry awards. It first opened in 2009 on Vosstaniya street, but after several years of fruitful work, it moved to a bigger space in a mid-nineteenth-century building on the Moyka river embankment. When designing their new space, the owners of the hostel paid special attention to creating a bit of privacy for their guests, which is why the building has a wide range of different rooms, from standard two person rooms, up to a family room and a huge luxe room with a fireplace. Even with these varied spaces, Soul Kitchen Hostel still kept the hostel atmosphere, designing several shared rooms with multiple beds and different shared spaces to watch movies, play board games and socialize.

2. Super Hostel

Hostel

Another nice hostel located on Nevsky prospect is Super Hostel in St Petersburg. By staying on the city’s main street that never sleeps, guests have access to public transportation that connects to all the major sightseeing spots in the city, as well as the best restaurants, bars, clubs and theatres. The guests of the hostel may book a transfer to the airport; meanwhile, Moscow Railway Station is just a five-minute walk away, which is very convenient for those continuing their journey by train.
