| Description | Sokol hostel, named after its nearest Metro station is a small exclusive hostel, on Leningradski Prospect, Moscow, Russia.
Right next to the metro. It’s a quiet hostel a few stops on the metro from the centre (about 10 minutes) and also links more comfortably by trolley bus, a more scenic and fun way to go around.
The area around Sokol is a never sleep area, with shops and restaurants around open 24 hours. (Also far less pricy than the nearby centre) This is an exiting area to be, the hostel itself is quiet, nearby is a spectacular park (lesss than 5 minutes walk), so it’s all there.
The hostel is as near to a metro station as one can possibly get, literally right next to the station, and about 20 meters from the trolley bus stop that goes direct to the Kremlin, goes around it passes all the tourist traps and comes back, so you can get on that route either way, it drops you right in front of the hostel. (no 12)
There are only 8 beds in the hostel, so you can meet people in a relaxed un-crowded environment. There is space galore, and no bunk beds, single beds only with space unequal elsewhere in Moscow. Because we are so small, we can pay more attention to cleanliness. No mixed dorms and as a rule, we rarely book more than five people at a time.
It’s a Stalin era building with high ceilings, and the rooms are enormous. The building entrance is clean, and the courtyard is a beautiful place to sit and relax, if you are not relaxing in our common room, and if you want busy, that is a stroll around the corner.
Directions
Located right next to Sokol Metro, the metro has two exits (one on either side of Leningradski Prospect) When coming from town take the last carriage, then when you get out of the metro carriage go up the steps in the centre of the station hallway, walk up the stairs and turn left. Once upstairs you are under Leningradski prospect. If you came by last carriage and follow instructions you are going to the Alabyana street side, for those who can read Russian. If you go to the wrong side of the street, no problem use the overpass and go to the other side, as you will not find the three arches within 156 meters of walking. You need to be on the south side of the road.
Exit the metro, turn right (same as the direction of the traffic on your side), walk a minute or few until you see the arches (second building as you stroll down Leningradski), walk through the arch, turn right at the end of building about 30 meters, turn right into courtyard and go to the entrance in the centre of the building (Entrance no 4). If you did walk a few hundred meters and did not see the arches arch, you are on the wrong side.
Take note that the building number on the outside if you can see it is no 71. Thus 71 Leningradski Prospect, apt 109.
When arriving at the centre entrance (entrance 4) of the building press 109 and we will buzz you in. There are no indications on the door so keep this number handy.
