location, the man in Reception was very helpful with us , he carried the luggages and organized everything

i talked with them before my trip about early check in , they said 24 hour the reception will be available while i reached 2:00 morning with my children .we have been waiting outside until 5:00 clock morning imagine 🙂 i been calling them and when they answered the phone they was just saying its closed and I couldn’t find other hotel because most of them Full booked or closed i paid 50 % of the total amount for the early checkin but they have to be honest with working time 😏

It’s a recently renovated hostel spanning two floors of an older apartment block just on the edge of the old town, a short distance from the bus and train stations. It’s clean and well maintained.

The spaces are all very small and a bigger than average person would have difficulty with the single beds, stairs and shower. The system of motion/timer lights is very frustrating. You have to keep waving your hands just to keep the lights on while you make a cup of coffee.

The Best Hostels Have the Best Managers When I arrived I had a strange request. I collect coins. I was not only given an example of each Polish coin, I got a whole heap of other currencies. Thank you. The manager sleeps on site. This is incredibly rare these days but crucially important in case of an emergency or intrusion. Thumbs up for this. Great room, comfy bed and quiet. Excellent shower and bathrooms. Fine facilities. 15 minutes walk to the central bus and train station and old town. The manager is always there to help and goes the extra mile to assist.

Everything was well prepared including some welcome chocolate when you went into the room. Location is really convenient. very close to the old town. can go most of the sites on foot. The host respond to my questions quickly even though I had never met him. Everything was under his remote control

The bathroom was a bit small.

Small room, but clean and comfortable. The location is brilliant. Very easy walks to the railway station and to the old town. Both just a few minutes away. I never met the hosts, but they gave very good instructions for entry and were very responsive to questions etc

No lift and fairly difficult stairs with luggage unfortunately. Otherwise, all good.

It had a lovely feel to it, we particularly enjoyed the outdoor area and common room! A big bonus was the cereal and coffee machine provided for free. In addition to access to the microwave, hob and fridge were greatly appreciated! Super close to the city centre, would definitely stay here again!

The location is perfect, just 15 min walking from the bus station. Near the city center what let us to attend the sightseeing of the city. The room was clean, the toilet is public but has all the facilities and very clean. I’m completely satisfied and recommend this hostel for staying during the trip.

The location was great close to main square. The room was comfortable and big enough for the short stay. Although Bathroom was shared it was just next door to the bedroom. TV was there and working which was a bonus. Entrance to the building was independent and easy to access. People very kind and approachable.

The room was close to the reception so quite noisy and next to the bathroom so people were walking in and out a lot which was noisy. But this is something which nothing can be done about. Apart from that all facilities were great.

I had a small cosy room facing the inner patio. The bathrooms were very clean (the hairdryer was also present). Common area with coffee, tea, and a patio where you can sit or have your meals. Polite administrators.

Wifi and mobile Internet are not reasonably available in the room, but this is most probably because the hostel is in the basement floor. Wifi is good on the patio.

Top location as very close to bus and train station and a nice quiet area and room comes with cable tv and sit back and watch polish television which makes you feel like you living the polish experience

All positive but remember to make sure have the code to get in and out of the building if arriving after 6pm or be stuck outside
