This hostel is in s great location and has a lovely price of art in the kitchen, that's about it. The security is a joke, first hostel/ hotel/ guesthouse/ b&b I have ever been where you have to walk through the entire building before getting to reception. Also one key per room when staying in dorms means that if 1... More

When planning the trip to Moscow, we decided to stay in Safari hostel because the staff answered to my e-mail in short notice with an offer much better than those on hostelworld.com and hostelbooking.com - discount if booked 2 month ahead etc. They helped us with tourist vouchers needed for visa, and everything we needed during the stay. Hostel is... More

Located very close to the metro and red square I doubt you will find anywhere as cheap as this in Central Moscow. The staff are friendly and offer help when asked. They supply free coffee, tea and biscuits which is a big help when on a shoestring budget, which is you're staying here, you probably are. The bedrooms are clean... More

The newly opened in summer 2012, Safari hostel is simply but nicely furnished. The common are with free tea/coffee, a kitchen and a TV is almost always busy, but not too much. The only problem is finding the hostel in the small sidestreet inside the arches. Keep an eye - there are signboards on them.

It's pretty hard to find the hostel - it is in a side alley, which isn't very brightly lit. I'm 6'1" and it was a bit scary walking to the hostel in the dark. You have to enter through an arc, full of graffiti, and go straight for a while. Located on the left (or right, if you're going through... More

This hostel is very new. Great location close to Metro and Red Square etc. Rooms a little cramped but this seems to be the norm for Moscow. There are lockers which is great. Comfy beds and duvets etc. Nice and clean. Plenty of bathrooms-although it was fairly full there was rarely a wait. Kitchen nice and well equipped. Laundry 100... More

It was a surprise to us that probably the cheapest hostel in Moscow is located in the center of the old city of Moscow. Moscow is a really expensive city, so the hostel where you can cook and it is not far away, is a priceless treasure. Less than a mile to the Red Square. The hostel is really like... More

The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The location cannot be beat - it is walking distance away from Red Square/Kremlin and major theaters, multiple Metro stations and restaurants/bars. Love the bright colors and the funky decorations as well - most hostels I've been to have been rather drab, run-down affairs and these guys prove that even for a little... More
