Library Hostel Moscow is a hostel that appears in older listings at Gagarinsky Lane 28, in the Khamovniki area near Old Arbat, and in another directory at Bolshaya Pochtovaya Street 18/20, near the Baumanskaya metro station. The two addresses are in different parts of the city.

No official site, map listing or recent sign of operation was found, so this article does not describe rooms, rates or services. Several other properties in Moscow have similar names, so check the address before you book, and confirm any booking directly with the hostel.

Booking and Check-In at Library Hostel Moscow

No official site or current booking page was found for this hostel, so confirm by phone or on a current booking site which address is correct and that the hostel is open before you pay. Check-in and check-out times, breakfast and cancellation terms were not found.

  • Foreign guests: hostels in Russia usually handle the registration of foreign guests, but rules change and depend on nationality, so ask the hostel and read the Moscow Vibes registration guide; as of October 2026 this was not verified.
  • Payment: foreign Visa and Mastercard cards are reported not to work in Russia, and the sanctions rules of your own country may restrict some Russian payment services and bookings, so check this yourself.

Check all rates and rules with the hostel directly.

How we research and update our guides

About this guide: AI assistance and accuracy

This guide is created with the help of AI and is based on official sources where available. Mistakes can still happen. Opening hours, prices, rules and other details are given to the best of our knowledge as of the date shown and can change without notice. It offers general recommendations only, not professional, legal or travel advice. Please confirm important details with the official source before you travel; you are responsible for your own plans and decisions.

Paying for your trip: please read

International sanctions affect payments between Russia and many other countries. In practice, cards issued in the EU, the UK, the US and several other countries often do not work in Russia, Russian cards usually do not work abroad, and some booking platforms, airlines and payment providers limit or suspend their services for Russia. The situation changes frequently.

We do not give legal or financial advice, and this site does not encourage anyone to break or circumvent sanctions. Whatever you plan, you are responsible for following the laws and regulations that apply to you, including those of your country of residence and citizenship.

Many travelers still organise their stay lawfully. It is worth asking your bank or payment provider what is currently permitted, contacting hotels, tour operators and carriers directly about the payment methods they accept, and checking which services are open to customers from your country. Clarify payment, cancellation and refund terms before you commit to a booking, and keep your plans flexible.

Partner links on this site may not be available in every country, and prices, availability and rules in our guides can differ from what you see when you book.
