My personal rating:
It is better to stay in this hostel/guesthouse than in the previously described Metro hostel.
I found this hostel by occasion. Precisely, a Spanish cyclist stayed there and gave me a call saying that he was in the Vostok mini-hotel. I liked that place. Tiny, but pretty clean and comfortable. The hotel staff is friendly.
