6.9Verified guest“The hostel is in the middle of everything, making it easy to see the sights. The Old Town is close by, so you can soak up the history. Rooms are a decent size and bathrooms are clean. Staff are friendly and helpful, and the kitchen has everything you need. Great value for a budget stay.”
6.9Verified guest“We were pleasantly surprised by the great location near the beach and other attractions. The room was clean and well-equipped. Breakfast was plentiful with lots of choice, including fresh fish. Staff were kind and even folded our clothes neatly.”
6.9Verified guest“My stay in Warsaw was fantastic thanks to this place. The location was perfect, with plenty of bars and restaurants around. The staff were helpful and friendly, making the experience even better. I'd definitely recommend it for a comfortable stay in the city.”
6.9Verified guest“My stay was disappointing. It felt more like a shelter than a hostel. There was no reception or keys, just codes, which made it easy for anyone to enter. Room security was questionable, with doors sometimes left open. Lockers were small and had a hole on top, so I couldn't store valuables safely. There were reports of theft, and staff warned not to leave valuables out. The dorm smelled awful because long-term guests stored food. The fridge had mold and was a health risk. Bed linen was ripped, and the floor flooded after showers, making it hard to use the sinks or shower hygienically. There was no ventilation, and noise from outside—including homeless drunk people—meant I couldn't open the window for air.”
6.9Verified guest“The location was excellent, on a lively street with bars and restaurants, and close to public transport. Rooms were spacious and professionally cleaned. The manager was helpful and arranged a taxi for us.”
6.9Verified guest“Great location near attractions. Helpful staff. Clean room with a good shower. Convenient to cook meals. They let me store luggage after check-out.”
