Sabrina Hostel

Warning to mariners: this is not a luxury hotel. This is like any other hostel, that many you can find in St. Petersburg, Moscow and other Russian cities. A "big flat" becomes a haven for backpackers with a bedroom of 4 or 8 beds, bunk beds and, fortunately, there are several bathrooms and showers (some not so common in other hostels I've been seeing throughout the country). The Hostal Sabrina is therefore a decent place, but it has two things going for it: the price (11 euros a night in a room with 8 beds ... not bad for St. Petersburg) and location, five minutes from the lively Plaza Sennaya, and 10-15 from then Nevsky Prospekt, the Hermitage Museum, and even more.
