Good place to stay
Although a bit cramped, this is a very good place to stay if you want to meet other travellers and locals, and be in the center of the city. The staff is friendly and helpful, and beer is available at the front desk. You can’t beat the price compared to a Moscow hotel!

Cheap and cheerful
This is about the only way to describe this hostel located in the heart of Moscow and situated on the doorstep of the main tourist sites. It is primarily a young person’s hostel, but everyone was very friendly, spoke English and it felt like one big happy (if chaotic) family. It was the lowest cost place I could find and for a couple of nights it was fine, especially as it was within walking distance of most things, including the metro. I would consider it again for a short stay.
Traveller's tip on recreational activities
Remember that the Kremlin is closed on Thursdays! I arrived into Moscow on a Thursday morning with plans to spend the entire day exploring the Kremlin, Armory and Red Square to find that it was closed. I then only had time to do The Armory (well worth it) on Friday as one needs at least 2-3 hrs to get to the airport.

Great Value for Travelers on a Budget
My stay at Napeoleon Hostel was the first time I ever stayed at a hostel and it was a very positive experience. It is centrally located -- within walking distance to the major attractions in the city as well as the metro, restaurants, shops, banks, and bars. It is acceptably clean, and the staff is courteous, attentive and helpful. For the money it offers cozy, clean accommodations, friendly atmosphere, and a great location in one of the most expensive cities in the world. I would definitely recommend Napoleon Hostel and stay here again.
Traveller's tip
Pack light! Napoleon Hostel is on the 4th floor. There is no elevator -- you will have to carry your bags up 4 flights of stairs.
