The peaceful ambiance of the hostel provides a perfect retreat after a long day of exploring the city.

Easy to reach from airport day or night, just one bus change. Very clean and comfortable place, has all that you need. Spacious garden, comfy beds, leave luggage possible, kitchen, fridge, all perfect and clean.

No entry code is sent automatically via Booking message, Our flight landed around 23,30, we then made booking and went on bus at 00,20, and after booking was paid, host did not respond for some time to messages or calls,, we thought we will stay on the street. But by the time we arrived at the door, 01.00, the host picked up the phone and we were in, so all in all it was ok.

Easy to find, self check-in, kitchen, huge garden with plenty of sitting options. We are 2 females traveling together and we felt safe, which was amazing. Żabka shop right across the street. It has a great connection to the city center as well as the airport.

Other guests were loud and sometimes inconsiderate (but it's not the hostel's fault).

Small, comfortable, cheap hostel. Big advantage that you can check-in even in a night. Great localisation, beautiful garden where you cqn relax. International crowd, many interesting travellers to share stories with. Its not a place if you're looking for luxuries, its just a hostel. I liked the atmosphere and definetely would come back to this place
