- "I stayed in a six bed dorm and I am satisfied with the overall experience. It is everything you would expect from a hostel but with a few things that elevated the experience: 1. Clean shared bathrooms. Unlike the smelly and dark bathrooms I experienced in other hostels, the bathrooms here are modern, bright and cleaned every day 2. Common room with comfy sofa, TV and game consoles (I have not used them so I can't vouch if they work). 3. "Cafeteria" - Located one floor below the reception, I believe only open at day time. What I can say for sure is, in case you have not been impressed by the shared bathrooms outside of your room, the toilets here are as clean as the others and with stunning lighting. 4. Locker room for luggage - Next to the cafeteria, there are plenty of storage spaces. Not sure if you need to pay extra for it. 5. Garden - place to sit outdoor and hang your washing (important for later). There are also bike racks! 6. Towel can be borrowed free of charge, the catch is you need to leave a deposit (cash only) and will be fully refunded when you return it. 7. Convenient location - Multiple bus and tram stations within 10 minutes of walking Here are some minor complaints : 1. Room can be hot in the summer. However, it is uncommon for Polish buildings with AC or electric fans anyway. 2. Luggage space in the shared dorm is quite limited and inevitably will take up some common space 3. Washing machine is available but no dryer is available. "

This was good as it eliminated the street noise as hotel's street has an active night life. Everything was clean in the room and bathroom. Shower was excellent.

The room was non smoking and the air was thick when we entered. Eventually the air cleared and the room did not smell. There was no thermostat in the room."

- "I had a great stay at this hostel. The entrance to the hostel seemed a bit dodge to start with but once inside it really is a beautiful hostel. The living area was great, the kitchen has everything you needed. Tea and coffee were complimentary all day and the breakfast in the morning was also included, the selection was small but enough, a few cereals, breads, cheeses, meats, fruits, spreads, biscuits etc. the rooms were clean as were the bathrooms. I stopped in the female only dorm which has it's own private bathroom. The staff were helpful. It's only a 10 minute walk from the old town and right next the the river. Less than a minute walk from multiple bus stops, making getting there from the airport super easy, just one bus ride away. I would happily stop there again. The only down side was the WiFi was a little bit temperamental, each room had it's own, I had to connect to most of the rooms WiFi just to get constant access. Also I had one night with no warm water for a shower but other than that great. "
