Это большое помещение где нет разделений на комнаты.Вход, ресепшен,кухня и сразу капсулы.Даже женская «комната»разделена складной перегородкой и там нет шкафчиков для вещей.Туалетом в женской комнате пользуются все сотрудники.

The bed was comfortable and the staff were friendly, which I really appreciated. However, the location is quite inconvenient, as it’s on the opposite side of most of the main attractions, and the neighborhood feels a bit cold and tense. Unfortunately, like in many hostels in Central Asia, there are people actually living in the common spaces, which makes the atmosphere less welcoming for travelers. I really think they should separate long-term residents from short-term guests. What truly made my stay unpleasant was the noise in my room: a water pipe ran directly above it, so every time someone took a shower or flushed the toilet, the sound was extremely loud. On top of that, people were washing clothes between 2 am and 7 am, and there were children crying during the night. The storage space for backpacks larger than 60 liters was also very limited. On the positive side, there are supermarkets nearby, and the hostel has a kitchen available. Still, because of the noise issues and overall atmosphere, I can’t give this place a good rating.

The hostel is kept clean, they clean a few times a day. Guests change for slippers. Complimentary hot tea and sweets+biscuits. There is a sitting area where it is possible to work. Storage for backpacks available - private one for smaller backpacks, shared one for bigger backpacks. Short walk from metro station. Inexpensive. Payments by card accepted.

Most of the time I was there (5 days out of 7), wifi did not work at all. I would rate this hostel 10, but I could not, because internet connection is important nowadays and it is not acceptable not to be working for such a long time. If it did not work a few hours here or there, I would not mind, but almost the whole week????

It's a lovely hostel, clean and comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped and the staff are helpful and friendly. Location is great for a supermarket, restaurants, fast food and is well connected by public transport. It's about 15 minutes walk from the nearest metro station.

I had an upper capsule and it was very hot. While the location is well connected for public transport, it was far away from the central tourist sites (about an hour) and I would stay somewhere more central next time.
