ANTI-HOSTEL COSMIC
sules from R1350; ; Teatralnaya)
Occupying a converted apartment, this place marries the idea of hostel with that of capsule
hotel. The location is hard to beat - Red Square is just a five-minute walk away. Capsules
create a tiny, though comfortable universe for guests to enjoy on their own. There is also a
nice common area to mingle with fellow capsule-dwellers.
HOSTEL
IVAN HOSTEL
R750, d with shared bathroom from R2500; ; Chekhovskaya)
iVAN consists of two clean and quiet apartments located in the same tsarist-era residential
building, a short walk from Pushkin Sq. Being a hostel, it naturally has dorms - and very
nice ones at that - however its main virtue are several simply-furnished, but tastefully de-
signed private rooms with whitewashed walls and large windows.
Bathrooms are shared and there is no breakfast, but you can cook it yourself in the fully-
equipped communal kitchen. Washing machine is available at extra charge.

It might draw comparisons with capsule hotels, but it is actually better. Think a comfortable
train compartment - it's close to what you get in this immaculately clean and unusual hotel,
conveniently located for those arriving by train from Sheremetyevo Airport. Common
showers and toilets are very modern and clean; queues are unusual.
