Hostel Tamka Reviews

This hostel just has everything I needed: clean beds, clean bathrooms, free tea & coffee, free towels, and breakfast. The staff were friendly, jocular, and willing to talk about things other than my stay. I think that's what makes a good hostel.

Overall, a perfectly acceptable hostel. Clean and well located. The staff was very helpful, pointing us in the direction of the best bars in town (Thanks again Alex!). There is free parking nearby on the weekends.The only downside to this place is the lack of an onsite bar. But, all in all, I would totally stay here again.

Stayed at this hostel and slept in the mixed dorm for 1 night. I can easily say its the worst hostel i ve ever been in. The room was filthy (litteraly) and the bed stank and gave me back ache the day after. I checked out the day after and spent the rest of my stay at the moon hostel, about 200 meters distant and that was brilliant! i defenitely do not recoment this hostel. Only positive notes was the price (very affordable) and the location is not bad

do yourself a favour and if you wanna sleep through the night dont take a room next to toilets. Walls are paper thin and people are opening and shutting doors there like crazy.

Well, the girl at the desk was quite strict about hostel rules, that's good, but I felt more like coming to a police station :) Wifi has bad reception in the rooms, and the air ventilation in rooms would be great, since you probably dont want to be listening to passing traffic on a quite noisy street and breathing in fumes. the hostel is new and feels good, but the beds make my back ache like alot :)

Its a good place. Its not the best situated but its economic. The rooms are good (maybe a little bit cold) and the shower have a locker door. The breakfast is not include, but you can take it for 1,25€. I dont like that you cant eat cacao with milk, only coffee.

Excellent!

I really meant those "excellent" notes in every area :) Thank you!

Locker was broken which wasn't good since I was traveling alone.

Very nice hostel, I spent there 2 days in a single room; everything was fine, the staff was nice, you can pay with a credit card, there's a free WiFi, a TV, free towels and soap, and breakfast for 5 zł (haven't tried it though). There's a sort of guarded storage room if you need to leave some stuff before you officially check in, and you can leave valuable stuff like laptops on the reception. The room and bathroom were super clean and in great shape. And the hostel is pretty close to the center.

I really enjoyed my stay here, but BE AWARE of the fact that the showers might get cold when lots of people use it at the same time or after busy hours. So either wake up early or take a shower in a less busy period.

It's very cheap so you cannot expect very much, but next time I would not go here again. Bathrooms smell peculiar and the toilets are within the shower compartment. Location is not very good but acceptable, staff is helpful but only gives you the information that you explicitly ask for. Security is horrible: When you go outside you have to hand in the keys. When I returned they lost the key and apparently someone had had acces to my locker with laptop.

I really like the location of the hostel. It's located in walking distance from copernikus center, chopin museum, city central etc. And this was the first hostel that i used singlestory bed. I really loved it. Helpful staffs and convenient facilities.

Would suggest putting towels in the 30 pounds per night single room with bathroom. For the Polish standards it is a pricey option for such a room and one would expect a slightly better environment. The room is a bare minimum - bed, nightable and a clothes rack, the whole hostel decidedly lacks character. Overall, I'd say average, good location, rather clean, rather quiet at night and I felt safe there.

Staff was helpful. Great location within walking distance to 'Old Town' Warsaw.

I think separate bathrooms and separate toilets would be better as people should not have to wait for each other long provided they only want to take a shower to go to the restroom.

The staff is professional though not very engaged. The kitchen and common area facilities were very good, except for some problems with slow and faulty computers for common use. I really didn't like the fact that they allow late PAST MIDNIGHT check-in - I was woken up by a group of young travelers who'd just checked in at 0:30. My bed had a very thin mattress and the bed "made an impression." Still, it was pretty quiet and clean overall, and great value for money (especially the breakfast).

Good hostel! The girl behind the desk helped me really good with everything I needed to know about stores, travel, tours, etc. There is a big kitchen with everything you need, I liked the bathroom on the room, I didn't had to wait to shower and it was clean.

It's a great hostel, located very close to the city centre and all the main attractions. We stayed in a double room and it was very spacious and comfortable. Staff can be extremely nice and helpful or not so much, depending on who you find at the reception. Overall, very recommended!

I was very happy with my stay in this hostel. The location is not perfect but it's a 20 min walk to the old town, which is not that bad. The overall atmosphere of the hostel is great - a big common room with a big TV and a lot of films to play. The kitchen is nice and big as well. Rooms were also big and warm, even though the beds were a bit old and a little uncomfortable. The linen weren't perfectly clean as well. Staff was helpful and nice. I definitely recommend the hostel :)
