Hostels in Saint Petersburg
St Petersburg has hostels for every kind of trip, from capsules near the railway station to private rooms in the center. Choose based on location, privacy, and practical amenities.
What to consider when choosing
For exploring the historic center on foot, consider Friends Light, Friends on Sennaya, PRO LOFT, or Bigland House. The Hermitage’s main visitor entrance is on Palace Square, so it is worth checking the route there from your chosen hostel.
A dorm is a good budget option, while a curtained bed or capsule provides more privacy. For greater peace and personal space, choose a private room: these are available at Friends on Vosstaniya and Friends on Sennaya, though the latter has no lift to its third- to fifth-floor accommodation.
Check the kitchen equipment and laundry facilities: Mama, Ya Doma has a stove, microwave, large fridge, and cookware, while Friends on Vosstaniya has kitchens, washers, and dryers on every floor. The kitchens at both properties are shared.
