The Best Hostels in St Petersburg

This hostel 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.
