Is the Yekaterinburg Train Station close to the city center or not?
I am looking for a hostel near the train station. But it seems that most of them are very far away (say, 5km) from the train station.
I have many luggage, so it is preferable to be walking distance.

Yes. I only arrived at night and was leaving at like 3pm the next day on a new train, but was able to explore around the river, some of the old streets and beautiful buildings, look for the keyboard sculpture (a bit worn down but geeky), and then stroll along to the station with my bags.
Note that there's also a small metro, so if your hostel is close to the metro it'd help a lot. I stayed in some weird hotel/hostel that seemed to be basically dozens of middle-aged men, but hey, the bed was comfy and it was only one night. Unfortunately I can't remember the name or exact location.
For reference, I had a backpack and a day-pack with me, so wasn't walking too far!
On this map of the city - place locator number 8 is basically where the Central station is, and as you can see, it's very central.
You can also get around by metro, bus, tram, trolley and mashrutka.
