Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Street-side rooms can be noisy — Several guests warn that rooms facing the street suffer from noise, making it hard to sleep. Request a courtyard-facing room if you're a light sleeper.
- No towels or slippers provided — Towels and slippers are not included, so pack your own. This is common in budget hostels but can catch first-timers off guard.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 14:00 and 23:59, with checkout by 10:00. If you arrive late at night, you may miss the window.
- No pets allowed — The hostel has a strict no-pets policy, so you'll need to arrange alternative care for your animal.

7.6Verified guest“Modern, clean, and well-equipped rooms. Close to the center, with a supermarket and coffee shop just around the corner. The staff were friendly and always willing to help.”
7.6Verified guest“The location was perfect—we walked up Nowy Świat to the Old Town, or down to the river. Everything was within walking distance, and we found plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. I'd especially recommend the Kafka cafe. Breakfast was included and simple but good. Our room was basic but large and clean, as was the kitchen. The free washer and dryer were a nice bonus.”
7.6Verified guest“The staff were very friendly, even printing my bus tickets for me. The kitchen is big with two sinks. The common room is excellent—plenty of space, several tables, cosy sofas, three computers with internet, a bookshelf, a large plasma TV, and a stack of DVDs. Breakfast was included and varied. A bus stop right near the hostel made getting around easy, and many sights were reachable on foot.”
7.6Verified guest“The kitchen area is superb, with a small garden. Free coffee, hot chocolate, and tea are always available. There's a market across the street open until 11 pm. Breakfast is cheap and filling. The location is central and close to attractions. The flat is spacious and well equipped, with a light and shelf by every bed. A small yard with tables for meals outside. City bikes are nearby. I'd highly recommend visiting the Warsaw University library.”
7.6Verified guest“It's clean and quiet, with a warm and friendly atmosphere, a good breakfast, and great care for the guests.”
7.6Verified guest“Conveniently located near the center and really close to the metro, making it easy to see the city. Also near clubs if you're after nightlife.”
