    - intensive smell of cheap chemicals/soap in common areas (next day I realised it was to cover heavy smoking consequences from smokers) - bed mattrasses must be from ancient times, as metal springs were on top, ready to touch you body through thin sheet :) - no conditioning, so if the window is open, noise from street is coming - everything is like back from previous century, worn out. - 5 rooms in this floor share single small toilet and single small shower, both in my personal opinion, not cosy. Imagine in the morning all want to shower... Other than that, very good price!

    Location is fantastic, view from room No 5 was amazing. As well as the price. All other were negatives :)

    The location is great

    It was hard to get inside as the electronic lock didn't work. Some ladies came to check in, too, and called the operator. It turned out the passcode they sent was wrong. Also, there was no toilet paper!!!

    The hostel is budget-friendly, but don’t expect much in terms of amenities. The best part is its prime location. However

    Bed, there was a big hole in the mattress which made it impossible to sleep well. Short stays ok, longer not in room 2.

    Localization was very good, close to shopping mall and railway station. For one night I recommend.

    The hostel is located on the third floor of a building with high ceilings. There is no elevator. It is very difficult to lift a suitcase if it is heavy.

    Good location - railway station is near.

    Door very difficult to open and no-one to help. Hostel on 3rd floor (very tall floors) and no elevator - needs warning in more prominent position on listing No towels in room - oversight by cleaner - advised manager by text but no attempt to fix - after carrying contents of big bag with several trips up/ down the stairs, I really needed a shower! Not happy! Curtains not big enough to cover window so no way to block out light!

    Several negatives I’m afraid. Arriving after dark, it was hard to follow the instructions and enter the door entry codes. There are numerous steps up the the hostel (I’d say it’s not really a hostel, more just a room in a rather scabby flat), and then to gain access into the room itself. The room was scruffy and rather grubby and the beds rather uncomfortable.

    We had a great view of the Palace of Culture from the bedroom window. It’s also quite a short walk to and from Warsaw Centralna railway station.

    • Double or Twin Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 1 night

    Important to keep in mind, the room doesn't have its own bathroom / toilet. The shared one was unusable for me because the smell was just obnoxious, I couldn't stand it for a single minute. The overall cleanliness of the place wasn't great and the walls were extremely thin, I could hear everything around.

    It was quite cheap and basically in the centre of the city. I thought it can be a good place to crash for a single night.

    Close to the centre and to the tram line. Easy entry with a key box.

    It's a nice place. Getting into the room was very difficult and confusing. The entrance is a whole sequence of riddles and tasks. But we were tired on the road and it was evening. We wanted to eat and rest. However, it was impossible to prepare food. My child went to bed hungry. The stairs were unbearable. It was hard to get the suitcases up there, it was like climbing Everest. The bad thing is that everything is very old and uncomfortable. The bed is very old and worn out. No closet. No nightstands. No windows. They're almost on top of the windows. The blankets are tiny, like for babies. There's not even one refrigerator for everyone. There's no kitchen. How can you cook food? I had to feed him sandwiches instead of a proper meal in the morning. It's horrible.

    This is not a hostel, it is a shared apartment. Had to beg for towels as none provided. Shared toilet and bathroom very small. No kitchenette facility as described - just kettle on a bookshelf. No staff to be seen.LOTS of stairs to gain entry. Very overpriced- not recommended

    We don't recommend to take a room with a balcony since you can't use it because it's full of bird poop. A scarecrow would be useful. No proper kitchen, you have to wash your dishes in the toilet sink.

    Good location, everyday cleaning, good information about check-in and check out.
