Hostel Rus

Western European Russia


You'll be doubting your Google Maps directions when you wander around a back street to a random corner apartment building, but that's exactly where you'll find this spick-and-span hostel. Mixed four- to eight-bed dorms are bright with individual lamp, power point and curtain for privacy. The fully equipped kitchen, laundry and close-to-the-river location are added bonuses. No English is spoken.
