My friend and I stayed here 2 weeks ago for 2 nights in their 6 bed dorm.  Our reservation in another hotel was cancelled last minute and it was our last 2 nights in Moscow, we didn't want to spend too much time looking for a place.  It was also in the middle of the World Cup madness where every hotel and hostel were fully booked with inflated prices, we didn't have much choices.  Our expectation was very low.  

The positives: 
1. The staff were very helpful and patient despite their lack of English proficiency (Google Translate was invaluable). 
2. The location was close to many restaurants from higher end for a splurge to some quick and cheap meals.  
3. It's a 15 min walk to the Metro. 
4. Close to a nice park for some peace and quiet and sun.  

The Negatives: 
1.  There isn't enough signage.  We actually ringed the hostel below and thought that was it.  It's actually apt 21 on the 4th floor.  There was no sign at the door.  
2.  There is only one bathroom and it wasn't the cleanest.  They were in the process of renovating the second one.  Luckily there weren't many guests so little wait time while we were there.  
3.  The kitchen was small with no place to sit.  It felt like all space was converted into bedrooms and there was no place for guests to hang out.  
4.  The price of the bed doesn't include a locker.  The cost of a locker rental is 300r for the stay and the lock didn't even work.  Staff had to get someone to fix it.  
5. The most disappointing issue was that non-staying guests were allowed in the dorms.  One guest brought a friend back to hang out in our dorm.  It was only after my friend's complaint that she was ask to leave.

If not for the hotel cancellation, we would probably not stay here.  But then again we are grateful that it accommodated us last minute. To be fair, Pokrovka was much cheaper than our original hotel.
