How you get from this hotel to the gate.
About this hotel
Brigit runs as a genuine hostel, offering both shared dorms and private rooms around a shared kitchen, a flexible setup for a solo backpacker or a traveller who wants budget rates without sharing a room with strangers. The seven-minute taxi ride to Alexander Nevsky Lavra puts it within reasonable reach of central landmarks despite the low rate, and the seven-minute walk to Spb, St. M. Ladozhskaya adds a metro option nearby too. The airport shuttle covers the 36-minute run to Pulkovo, useful at this price point where guests might otherwise need to piece together their own transfer. Pet-friendly rooms widen who this suits beyond the usual hostel crowd, rather than assuming every room in the property is identical.

Our take
I would recommend Brigit to budget travellers, solo or in a small group, who want the flexibility of a private room at hostel level, with a shuttle arrangement toward Pulkovo. Being near Alexander Nevsky Lavra is a real plus. If a private bathroom matters to you, confirm the room type before booking, since shared facilities are common in this category.
- Book a private room specifically if you don't want to share a dorm, since Brigit offers both at different rates.
- Confirm the airport shuttle pickup time the night before any flight leaving before eight in the morning.
- Walk to Alexander Nevsky Lavra on arrival rather than saving it for a rushed morning before departure.
Why we love it
- Both dorms and private rooms at hostel rates
- Seven minutes from Alexander Nevsky Lavra
- An airport shuttle at a genuinely budget rate
- Pet-friendly rooms available
Why guests love itBrigit is a two-star hostel with dorms, private rooms and a shared kitchen, which makes it a flexible budget pick. Alexander Nevsky Lavra is 7 minutes by taxi, Pulkovo is 36 minutes away, and an airport shuttle arrangement is available. Pets are welcome. With 7.2 from 99 reviews, I read it as a modest, down-to-earth stay. I would choose a private room here for a budget night around a flight, not for polish.
