  The best hostel with the perfect hosts in Saint Petersburg

  One of the best hostels that I have ever seen. A clean hostel, a great location, very good for meeting other travelers from all the world and with the perfect and kindest hosts you can imagine. The price is also good for the quality of service offered. I fully recommend it (and Ill be glad to be back there one day). Special thanks to Ulia . Ahmed

  wonderful and individual place, the best hostel I've ever been to

  Taiga hostel is situated in an old town house from the end of the 19th century, I guess. The hostel is well renovated and a very cosy place. There are birds singing in the toilets and they have a kitchen. The staff is very helpful and everyone speaks English. I met so many interesting people during my journay in St. Petersbourg and in Russia in general. It's such a great contry, I appreciated not only the wonderful hostel, but also the russian food, the dark beer, the music, the culture, the cafés and the hospitality of the people. I will come back!

  clean, quiet hostel in quiet location

  Taiga Hostel is a clean, quiet hostel - no problems with noise or falling asleep here. The beds are comfortable with a nice blanket, and each bed has it's own lamp and outlet. There's a small lounge/kitchen area, where you can cook and coffee/tea is free for you to make. Unlike other hostels, there aren't many people hanging out in the common area. There are only two toilets and two showers for many people, so sometimes you need to wait. The staff are kind and helpful. The location is a bit far from most areas of interest, but it's definitely within walking distance, and it's conveniently located near a subway station and grocery store (the train station is also less than a mile away).

  Best times are over - unfortunately...

  We stayed at Taiga three years ago and we were very happy. So we came back and we stayed five nights in the room with own bathroom. Unfortunately, we have been very disappointed with our second stay: Execept for the girl on the day of our arrival, no one seems to have an understanding of service and it seem that they just dont care. We have the feeling that it is not anymore the same management as it was three years ago. The room is still nice although the mattress is run down. The bathroom need some refurbishment. The sinkhole in the shower was completely blocked. Therefore, we asked the girl on the second day to fix the issue and she said that they will take care of it and clean the room anyway. When we came back in the evening, nothing was made. So on the next morning we reported the issue again and we insisted that they fix it to avoid a huge mess in the bathroom. And they finally did but only the very necessary (no fresh towels, no shampoo - we now it is a Hostel but they offer it). After having asked two times how it works with the laundry, we finally left our laundry with the girl in the morning. Of course, we had to ring the bell two times until she showed up in a half sleeping mode. We asked her for the laundry, insisted that we need the laundry back in the evening since we had to leave the next morning very early. She confirmed that she will take care of it. As we came back in the evening our bag with our dirty clothes was at exactly the same place - unwashed of course... And the girl was very nonchalant about our issue. Our conclusion: Not recommended anymore and we will not stay here again. It would be great if the Taiga would become fantastic again. Good luck!

  Cozy stay in St. Petersburg

  I visited Taiga House with my son in September 2019, and it was a great place to stay during the week we were in Saint Petersburg. We had the Bookworm Suite, which was of a comfortable size and had pleasant décor. The staff -- particularly Andrei -- were friendly and helpful, and many fun conversations with other guests were had in the kitchen. Once the pandemic ends, I would love to visit St. Petersburg again, and you can bet I would book a room at Taiga for this return trip.
