Opened in September 2006, Home Hostel is perhaps the best equipped in Moscow. It features a total of five dorm rooms: a 12-bed, 10-bed, 8-bed and two 6-bed rooms, priced from 550R-800R ($22-$32). There are also double rooms (2200R - $88), three twin rooms (2600R - $104) and one double room with en suite (3000R - $120). Unlike most hostels in Moscow there are proper and ample bathroom facilities, with multiple combined toilet/shower units. Other facilities at Home Hostel include three computers with internet, free Wi-Fi access, lockers for each guest and laundry. But perhaps the best feature is a large, well-lit common room with a balcony, an all too rare feature in Moscow hostels. Visa registration costs 500R ($20). With great use of natural light Home Hostel is a bright and cheerful place to stay, amplified even more by the experienced and friendly staff. On the downside, the location isn’t great – 10 minutes walk from Park Kultury metro. Of course, this is only a short metro trip from the very center and there is the great bar trio of Keks, Suzy Wong and Vodka Bar nearby as well as numerous restaurants, but the walk to the metro is a bit tedious. Also, the prices at Home Hostel are slightly higher than at other Moscow hostels. Still a great option if you don’t mind spending a bit more.
