Friends on Bankovsky

Friends on Bankovsky opened in 2009, becoming the first hotel of our Friends network. We chose the format of a hostel and tried to do everything to meet the requirements of travelers from all over the world - and offer them maximum benefits for a relatively low price. Judging by the reviews of guests over the past years, we have largely succeeded.

However, the time has come for qualitative changes, and at the end of 2018 we decided to start a large-scale renovation of the “pioneer” Friends hostel. As a result, our hostel was transformed into a comfortable hotel and hostel hybrid with bright and modern design, cozy rooms and quite reasonable prices.

The hotel is located on two floors of Bankovskiy Pereulok 3, a few minutes’ walk from Nevsky Prospect - the main street of St. Petersburg - and close to many famous sights of the city. It is easy to get to the hotel by public transport from the airport or any of the train stations.

All private rooms of Friends on Bankovsky are designed for one, two or a maximum of three people and are divided into two main types: with private facilities directly in the room and shared facilities on the floor. In most rooms, in addition to double beds, there are soft sofas that can be used as extra beds. All the dormitries are located on the third floor. There are dorm rooms for 6 and 7 people, which are all male and all female versions. The room design is sure to please guests with a pleasant combination of colors and textural decoration of interior elements.

The friendly administrators of Friends will help you with settling and answer all your questions about St. Petersburg. On each floor there is a common room where guests can chat, watch TV and prepare simple meals in the kitchenette.
