The showers were spacious and clean, but the 10 bed room had awful beds, instable, very narrow and the matteress so thin that you could feel (every) missing slat from the bed frame - better chose another room. All in all okay for the budget and location.

I picked this hostel for its high rating and its character, yet was let down by its management. The hostel was full of dodgy men! There were always older men in the kitchen (other guests), hanging about all day, and prone to staring- and I am quite reserved, not flashy, not that this would lead to my \'deserving\' to be uncomfortable. I reserved the mixed room, yet quickly found myself the only girl in a ten-bed dorm. Mixed dorm downstairs mostly empty during this time. Management was unconcerned.

Overall the hostel was good value for money, but there were several issues that should be noted. The first is that there are A LOT of middle aged and older men staying at this hostel long-term. This made using the kitchen and living area quite awkward at times (bad pick up lines etc.) and I would suggest that females traveling alone should definitely stay in the all girls room. One other annoyance was that whenever anyone flushed the toilet the shower water went freezing cold for a few minutes.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. Bedrooms were ok. We got a room, right by the common room and the hallway, so it could get a little noisy, but it was bearable. Beds were a bit hard (but I actually liked that). You had to walk through the common room to get to the bathroom. Bathrooms were nice however. Breakfast was nice. The only thing I found strange was that there were what seemed to be a few people living there permanently, and always cooking curry. But everyone was friendly.

Stayed there second time. This time some guy cooked very spicy dish on the kitchen so it was annoying smell in all rooms for a while. Besides that, stay was good. Would recommend this place.

Nice hostel. Good location, good rooms. There's a kitchen where you can cook. You also get a free breakfast there, which is great.

The bathroom was co-ed, which I was not informed of beforehand. It took over 20 minutes for me to check in, because the staff were not prepared for my arrival, even though I was on time and told them when I could get there. Overall, a very average hostel.

common area was small due to the design of building or it's year of constructing making for a congested area. Thank you for making due with what you have.

Central location. Quite a big room.Clean bathroom facilities.Paper thin walls (I know that hostel's owners have little influence that yet I could clearly hear a conversation in theother room), very hard matresses , cold room (I stayed in February, heating was barely on),water in shower alternating between hot and freezin. No sign of the advertised organic teas-cheapest supermarket stuff instead. Poor breakfast- especially for a wegan-regular milk, white bread, margarine and jams.Unfriendly staff

The hostel is close to Centralna (1.5bus stop), quite silent. The common room combined with kitchen is not that big, but there is enough space to have coffee or tea or to use a common computer. Some of the rooms are placed in other floor. The bathrooms were very nice and clean.

The hostel was very well located. The bed was a bit small, however for one night it was alright. The wifi internet was pretty fast. The bathrooms were a bit cold though. Breakfast was included, which was good for me.
