Reviews of Retro Hostel

Great location, just a minute away from the main square. The host is really nice. Clean rooms and kitchen facilities.

Close to the old town and grocery stores

The bed was not the most comfortable one but it works

The kitchen was large enough for a big group. The room we had was also large enough for all of us to fit in one. The location of the hostel is great. Good price compared to other hostels in the vicinity.

The rooms had double the amount of beds as specified online, so it was not necessary to book two rooms. I spoke on the phone with a man who only spoke polish, which was a little inconvenient. Creaky beds :/

The staff is super friendly.

The receptionist can’t speak English. There’s no personal locker for the staff. Pillows are too bad and old. Also room was a bit dusty.

Great location, lovely staff.

It was all good!

the location is fantastic!

it could be cleaner for the price you pay.

Amazing location. Super friendly and helpful staff. Spacious and clean. Rooms with comfortable beds and a lot of light. Highly recommended 😍

The location of this hostel is amazing: just 2 steps from the Market square and 3 steps from a major tram node. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The common area/kitchen was comfy, sunny and well equipped. Bathrooms were very clean and there was enough of them for everyone. The man at the reception was very helpful and made sure the place is very well cleaned and ordered.

Good location had its downsides: people coming back from partying all night were screaming at the street, so I couldn't sleep. I could have closed the window, but I like having fresh air in the room at night. So next time I will definitely book the room facing the yard. Because the walls were so thick, I couldn't hear the neighbours at all, although the place was almost full. I'm very happy with this stay and plan to come back.

The gentleman at the reception was friendly and did not mind if I was late for check-in.

The pillowcase was probably used and not clean.

Right in the center of the city.

No free towels. Dirty teapot. Very noisy.

Location. Nice staff. Rooms were clean.

The noises from outside. Not many facilities provided within the booking.

The location was super, just around the corner from main square and 2 minutes from tram station. Super market Zabka was on opposite street. The whole area beautifully decorated , common bathrooms/toilets clean. We stayed in room (#13), on the 2nd floor. Spacious common kitchen/ sitting room, though we didn't use it. We could leave our luggage for some hours prior check in. The man at reception was very helpful.

Wifi was rather weak. Sometimes, it was a bit chilly in the room. It would have been good if they provided towels.

it was very very clean and i can say safe. the receptionist was such a sweet guy, helped me to carry my bags and was in general very friendly. the smell in the whole accommodation was very pleasant (like a pancake). the sound isolation is awesome. the location is awesome if you visit the city for walking around

the thing is, i stayed only one night and very spontaneously. for such reason i had no towels with me and… there were no towels in the hostel! maybe you could ask for them, but i didn’t get such information. i barely could take a normal shower because of that. also, it was a bit hard to find it from outside in the dark. i lacked a mirror in the room, maybe. the bathroom is shared, so i didn’t want to go there just to do a makeup or to brush my hair. i also lacked maybe wi-fi information on the second floor. cause if you forgot to connect on the reception, you’ll have to come back to get the password. in general, i don’t think that for this money cleanliness and good location is enough…

The hostel was nice and the staff were pleasant, but I was the only guest at the time so had to give estimates of when I’d be back etc so the owner knew when to be back for me which was a bit frustrating when I was travelling without a specific plan!

Great location. Very close to the center

Filthy toilet. Underheated room - it was cold at night. No towels, no soap in the bathroom, dirty bedding, no soap

Very conducive and the concept and initiative of making available for the female hostel .

Everything went well

Staff was incredible and very friendly. This is probably the highlight of the experience and for that reason I would highly rate this experience.

Beds were rather stiff but I can’t say that’s unexpected for a hostel. Also, not necessarily a negative but as a solo traveller looking to socialize and participate in group activities, there isn’t a whole lot of that
