Bedandbike Hostel

Everyone who stayed in the hostel were great, wonderful, kind people. The location was good, only a 7-minute walk from Nevsky Prospekt.

I had to switch rooms during my stay. I was not the only one. When I asked why, they told me that a group had booked my room and they needed to move me. Taking a reservation and keeping a reservation seem to be two different things. Also, there are no bike rentals on the property. The "bike" portion of Bedandbike is about 2 blocks away in a hard-to-find basement. The bikes are heavy and many had flat tires. The beds were springy and uncomfortable. Despite what the signs say, people smoke in this hostel and the entire building smells like it. I went to bed each night with the blanket wrapped around my head. The hostel itself is hard to find - it's an unmarked metal, gray door next to a Mister Kebob. The code given upon payment did not open this door.

Price was cheap for single room. There were clean bathrooms and a kitchen

No social atmosphere in hostel, didnt see any foreign guests. For a place with an english name, staff did not speak any english. They did not understand to give me a receipt or a registration for my stay. Nice idea to promote bikes in the name but actually it was just a couple of bikes lying around (reception was confused when i asked about them) but apparently the hostel is just owned by a bike shop a few blocks away renting bikes, however no bike lanes and places really to bike comfortably around the hostel.

Location, price

Bed was broken, wi-fi was almost No connection, shower sometimes stopped. I can stand above because it was cheap. But to get registration, I paid 700 rubles, and the staff told me that she send it by e-mail. After I left the hostel, I reminded to send it, but she finally did not send it. Give me the money back!!
