Way to Russia Travel Guide (September 2005)
‘Finally the first real hostel was opened in Moscow this summer (2005). Owned and run by a westerner,
Godzillas Hostel has the central location and the right atmosphere – something no other Moscow hostel can offer.
| Occupying three apartments in a pre-revolutionary residential building near Metro Tsvetnoy Boulevard (and Tverskaya), the hostel has eight dorm rooms and two private doubles. The rooms have a warm atmosphere, nice design, and the windows overlook a quiet street and a courtyard. Uhm... we're not supposed to be so positive in this guide, but, well, there was not a single negative point about this hostel. It's almost perfect. The only problems might be that the rooms have lots of beds, and that there's only three bathrooms to share between everybody, but then it only makes it easier to meet people... Also, most of the beds are two-level (see photo), so if you're a couple make sure you ask for a double bed'. |

‘The prices are standard for Moscow: $25 per bed in a dorm room (sleeps from 4 to 8 people), and $50 for a private room (single or double)’.
‘The range of facilities offered is impressive: there are two kitchens, lockers, luggage room, safe, washing machine. There are no lockouts, no curfew. The internet access is free for guests and the friendly English-speaking staff will help you to find your way around the city’.
'The staff at Godzilla's were brilliant, so helpful and relaxed! Knew everything there was to know about Moscow and where to go'. - Andrew Williams (New Zealand)
‘Small and cozy, brilliant members of staff (Yann, James and Oscar the cat) and brilliant group of lodgers - half the fun of Moscow was staying up all night drinking with the people who were staying at Godzillas. Hope it goes from strength to strength - Moscow sure needs a good inexpensive hostel'. - Jonathan Tansey (UK)
‘This is an excellent hostel! Everything is IKEA-- the down comforter, the coffee mugs, the bed frames... so it's modern looking and high quality. The location is convenient, in terms of easy to find, 5 minutes from the center, and lots of cafes nearby. It's great value!' - Tammy Hayano (USA)
‘Godzillas has by far the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on in a hostel – and I have been hostelling for a very very long time now!!!' – Steve Kepert (Australia)
