The further we depart from the Soviet times, theless among us those who on their life experience knows what a hostel is. Nevertheless, this kind of inexpensive and more or less comfortable housing is popular among many visitors today, especially in large cities, where rental prices are very, very decent. However, the hostel is a hostel. In this article we will introduce you to the main types of them, revealing the features of each.
Dormitory (running slang name - "dormitory") - this is the place of temporary residence:
In the hostel and apartment type, and other types,according to the standards, there are 6 (previously - 4.5) m² of personal space per one tenant. This allows co-residence of sometimes strangers in one room. Why can we assume that the level of comfort here is quite low.
All questions concerning the residence, provision, maintenance of hostels (apartment type, including) in our country decides the Housing Code.
Hostels (in Russia they were called bursami then) appeared in the Middle Ages. They were intended for the residence of poor students at universities, seminaries and theological schools.
The main gradation of these places of residence depends on the way of planning the living space. They share:
Depending on the contingent living in the hostel, it happens:
There is also a division by owner:
And the last graduation:
Let's analyze the most popular of them in more detail.
The cheapest and affordable layout. Normally, this is a long corridor, on both sides of which are located minimally equipped rooms, where there are from one to several people. On each floor there is a kitchen and a bathroom.
Sometimes these hostels are called sectional - here2-4 rooms are combined into a separate unit. Each such section has its own bathroom. The kitchen, in most cases, is one per floor, but there are options where it is located in the block.
The most comfortable, but also the price for accommodationhere will be released as an inexpensive hotel. The room is 2-4 people, there is a separate bathroom, shower, refrigerator, TV. The kitchen can be as one on the floor, and in every room.
"Malosemeyki" is a special kind of hostels. They are the usual kind of houses with isolated apartments, each of which has everything you need - a kitchen, a restroom, a bathroom. Their minus is a small living space.
Why are these hostels? In the Soviet era, apartments here were given to families of young workers, newcomers. Today, resident tenants reside in their privatized property in apartment dormitories. You can rent a house here only from its owner.
The allocation of housing here was a tradition in the Soviettime. So, a separate family for any merit received from the union a warrant for settlement in a separate room in the family hostel. Sometimes this was a reward for a long record of service, and sometimes - a consequence of a long wait in line.
The provided room in the end is officiallywas assigned to the family. However, they had no right to privatize it in the post-Soviet period. Why it was not uncommon there were loud sales of hostel buildings to new owners, despite the presence of lawfully residing tenants in general.
The living conditions in such places are allocated only by the presence of their own room. The toilet, shower and kitchen are also common.
Can be arranged as a hostelapartment type, and less comfortable varieties. Belong to either a particular organization or an intermediary cooperating with this employer. The goal is one - the placement of seasonal workers (so-called guest workers), less often - permanent workers. The latter is more common for budget organizations. An important condition - a resident receives a temporary registration at the address of the hostel.
As in the Russian legislation there is no cleardetermine the conditions for hostels, they can be like a doss house, and a good two-star hotel economy class. Mostly live from 4 to 20 people in the room. Facilities - in the sanitary block on the floor. Spartan rooms - single or bunk beds, durable bed linen, table, several chairs, bedside tables, a common closet. Plus such a hostel - cleaning is done not by tenants, but by special personnel.
That's all we wanted to tell you about the most diverse hostels in Russia. The most comfortable of them - apartment. But today they have lost the status of a hostel and become privatized property.
