Friends Light” Hostel — budget comfort right in the heart of St. Petersburg! “Friends Light” is located in the city centre, between the Sennaya Ploshchad and Gostiny Dvor metro stations, in a historic building of artistic value that is under state protection. Here, the past and the present blend harmoniously: behind the facade with a rich history lies thoughtfully designed modern comfort. The reception desk is on the 5th floor — you can get there using a small lift. A friendly duty administrator will welcome you, quickly process your check‑in, and give you key cards for your room. The hostel offers a range of accommodation options so that everyone can find what suits them best. Budget travellers will appreciate the shared rooms: they feature bunk beds with individual lamps and power sockets. Each bed has a privacy curtain, and personal belongings can be safely stored in lockable lockers. For those who value privacy, there are private rooms with double beds on a podium or with a bunk bed configuration (a double bed below and a single bed above). These rooms also include modern TVs, makeup mirrors with backlighting, and wardrobe sections. Each floor has a shared sanitary block, where you’ll find showers, toilets, shared hairdryers, as well as washing machines and dryers. The highlight of “Friends Light” is undoubtedly the lounge: a large table, a kitchen area, stunning pre‑revolutionary parquet flooring, and panoramic windows overlooking the Apraksin Dvor. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of tea, chat with fellow travellers, or simply take in the cityscape. Choose “Friends Light” — and let your stay in St. Petersburg be comfortable, atmospheric, and truly memorable!
