You may have more facilities for the hostelers esp. at dinner time or after dinner.

This hostel is excellent in every way: the location is very convenient to the old town and in a pleasant, quiet neighbourhood,there is a grocery store right around the corner,the staff are very friendly and helpful,and the facilities and the breakfast are first-rate. Outstanding value for the money.

Great location, nice staff, nice common area. But the general lay out of the hostel isnt so conducive to atmosphere and the showers and bathrooms could be set up better with more privacy and sinks within toilets.

The staff are terrifically nice, polite and very helpful. They are an example to be followed by others hostels. They have no parking facilities although it was easy to park in the street in front of the hostel.

It's a fine place to stay in Poland. Close to the old town and city centre. The hostel is clean, and the kitchen is okay. There is a common room with TV/DVD, books ect. There is free breakfast - not something special, but okay when you take the price into consideration.

I\'ve been in many hostels the last two years, and believe me if I tell you this was the best ever!!! The cleanliness was extraordinary, the staff was awesome and the rooms were amazingly comfortable. Every single hostel should be as Helvetia Hostel is! =D

Hostel Helvetia one of the best options in central Warsaw. The kitchen and common room layout is not always optimal but it works. The staff is very nice and provide tons of information on Warsaw sightseeing, events and nightlife.

It would be helpful if there were more bathroom/toilet facilities, based closer to rooms.Also showers should be with closed doors,which would be safer!

One of the cleanest hostels I've ever been. Really friendly and helpful staff. Common room was cozy and felt like your own living room. Location was excellent, in the very heart of the city.

Just came back from my trip to Warsaw. The hostel was even better than we expected. Security is top. Also the location is perfect because you can easily reach old as well as new town by foot. The staff was super friendly and has a very good knowledge of the city. The included breakfast was also very good. All in all excellent value for money.

Good location and welcoming private room, though large families with loud babies killed the vibe a bit. Nice common room and very helpful and nice staff. Bathrooms a bit odd as showers are unisex, but not a deal killer. Overall good hostel for exploring Warsaw.

Thank you for your opinion but we would like to remind that during the check in time we inform all of our guests that in the other side of our Hostel there are two more bathrooms (separate for women and men) :)

Very clean and comfortable rooms. The staff was very young and fun, and also very helpful. The location was great with a short walk to Old Town. A good sized complimentary breakfast was perfect to start a day off with. Rooms had individual locker storage. Great size Kitchen and bathrooms. A great price for what you get. I would definitely stay again.
