Crazy Duck Hostel

Nice, cheerful design and a cool common room lent the hostel a friendly and upbeat air. The staff were friendly, although not all of them spoke very good English. A water-cooler was a godsend (since I'd been advised not to drink Russian tapwater) as was the computer with no cost internet.

Good location, warm and friendly employees who speak English extremely well, clean and safe.

Crazy Duck is definitely a excellent choice if you consider staying in a Hostel in Saint-Petersburg! The Employees is reaaally warm and friendly and they try to help you whenever you need information on something. The Bar is an awesome spot to meet individuals and I really enjoyed the environment there. Greetings to Sasha, my favorite bartender :)

Staff were very friendly and helpful. drinks and food avail at the hostel were very well priced. All in all a great place to stay. They need to sort out the showers though- only 3 for the hostel and one out of order - not so bad as it's low season but would be frustrating in summer. The showers flood the bathroom whenever you have one and all our clothes were drenched.

A good place to stay, son don't exclude it just now. Some CONS though:- The main problem is hygiene. The floor is all carpet, so it gets soaked from the people leaving the bathroom. They also had cockroaches in the kitchen, although the place was covered in traps. They really need more effort on these subjects;- You pay for the internet in 30mins minimum (price under 1)And the advantages:- Although not the best location, still is in walking distance of all the main attractions and nightlife;- The staff is great, really helpful, and you can actually have a smart conversation with them about serious local issues. - The TV and homecinema are awsome (please don't stay in the hostel long enough to use them, because the city is just perfect)

Crazy Duck is fantastic for the atmosphere, its a nice spot to come back to following a long day of sight seeing and has a very good crowd. Its location however is not ideal, everything being a pretty long walk and accomodation is very cramped.

-helpful and friendly individuals at the reception. You can not uncover a more friendly location in St. Petersburg (i think) ;-)

Great location and very friendly staff. Flexible around take a look at time (you must leave your bed but can hang out until you need to leave town etc. )
