st. petersburg travel?
i'm travelling to st. petersburg russia in december with my friend. For people who have been there, what hostel or cheap hotel would you recommend? We want good location (preferably near nightlife and/or places of interest), a safe hostel/hotel, and reasonably priced (although we would rather pay more money for a nicely located hostel, rather than less money for bad location). Any help would be appreciated, especially from girls and young people who have been there (we're both 21) also, how difficult is it to get by without a guide? I'm somewhat worried that few people there speak english, but we're both poor college students and a guide is probably too expensive for us

Answer 2 :
It could be difficult. St. Petersburg is not cheap place. You would not be able to find cheap hostel(or hotel) in nice, save area. It does not work this way. Search Internet travel sections to see what different people suggesting. Get some names, locations and send me private email. I have a cousine, she lives in St.Petersburg. She may be will be able to help or point to right direction.
Answer 3 :
You really should have entered how much you want to spend a night. For some people $40 is cheap, others $100 a night is cheap and so on. I know an excellent place with prime location for about $100 a night.
Answer 4 :
I've stayed at Nord Hostel a few times. Its about as central as you can get and only a couple of years old. You will be able to get around without a guide. Don't expect very many people to be able to speak English. In Your Pocket have an excellent guide book on St Petersburg which is updated regularly.
Answer 5 :
