NAPOLEON hostel is Moscow’s oldest and friendliest back-packing hostel and is located in the historic downtown area of Moscow known as Kitai- Gorod. Here you can experience the ‘old’ Moscow with cobbled streets, old merchant houses and quaint Orthodox churches. This historical area is also the heart of Moscow’s nightlife and there are many bars and clubs, cheap restaurants and cafes to explore.

Moscow Kremlin

Founded in 1482, it contains four palaces, four
cathedrals and is surrounded by imposing walls.

Today this is the most fashionable district of Moscow. Our hostel is located in a fully renovated pre-revolutionary apartment, in the same building that Napoleon himself stayed when he occupied Moscow back in 1812. We are located just off the main road, in a quiet street with all of Moscow on our doorstep. We are just 5 minutes walk from Red Square and the Kremlin, and 200 meters away from the nearest Metro station.

KGB building on Lubyanka sq.

Built in 1898, it was the main headquarters of the KGB during the Soviet Union.

St. Basil's Cathedral

Probably the most famous sight in all of Russia.
Commissioned and build by Ivan the Terrible in 1561.
