Hostel V Centre

The location was prime! Five minutes max to the Kremlin! A shop nearby and the riverbank with tons of restaurants within walking distance.

My room was not cleaned once during my four-day stay. There were chips on the floor under the bed and dirty sheets from previous guests which were changed once I entered the room. The bathrooms were not very clean and the hostel had a problem with cleaning ladies so there weren’t enough people to keep the hostel running. When booking an excursion to the Island of Sviyazhsk I spoke with the receptionist and asked if there was an English tour and was told there is, then ended up in a group in Russian and got lost and separated from the group.

The location is great as the hostel is situated just across the street from Kazan Kremlin.

Shared bathrooms surely need some extra cleaning to get rid of stains and foul smell. At the moment of our arrival all toilets and showers were out of order due to lack of water yet the staff didn't even bother enough to get a bucket of water for flushing.
