  : It closes to Mariinsky Theatre and many restaurants surrounding (recommended Sadko, Ulitsa Glinki 2, a true Russian restaurant).Also closes to Nikolo-Bogoyavlenskiy Morskoy, a beautiful cathedral and a park next to it.
  : Never in my life had I met such a deceitful, deceiving, deceitful host.We booked 4 double rooms, 2 twin rooms and 1 quadruple room for 14 adults, 3 children from June 22-25. When we arrived around 16:30, the landlady told us we said to come at 22h00 but as we come early, only 8 beds for us. Only when we showed the booking in Russian stating that we would come from 16:00 to 17:00, she turned to persuade us to transfer half of the group to another hostel (more than 6km away).We disagreed and argued with the her (through translation a guy named Kolia) for 2 hours. It turned out at New Life Hostel 2 at that time there was only one 8-bed dorm available (3 beds were occupied). Since there was no other choice, she agreed the 1st night all of 17 people will sleep in 8-bed dorm, 2nd night to have 8-bed dorm and 4 double rooms, 3rd night to have 7 double rooms (at first 6 double rooms and 1 quadruple room). It took more than 2 hour to agree on room rates, we only proposed to calculate on previous booking price without any additional compensation for inconvenience when 17 people with luggage must sleep in room 8 bed. However, the greedy landlady kept asking for more money without giving any calculations. Too tired after more than 3 hours, we agreed with the plan, noted down on paper with her consent.It didn't end there, the 2nd night we only had 1 double room and 1 quadruple room. The landlady insisted that 2 beds were 1 double room and 1 quadruple room was 2 double rooms. Nowhere in this world this happens, maybe it is the way of calculating on Mars. The 3rd night we only received 2 more double rooms.There's nothing to say about New Life Hostel 2. Too many of our quarrels, from changing sheets, adding toilet paper, cutting off the internet ...
