Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in is limited to 15:00–21:00 — The hostel only accepts arrivals between 3 pm and 9 pm, which could be restrictive if you're arriving late or have a delayed flight.
  • No pets allowed — If you're traveling with an animal, this hostel isn't an option.
  • Interior design is a weak point — One guest rated the hostel lower specifically due to the interior, suggesting the decor may not appeal to everyone.
  • Located a bit outside the city centre — The hostel is about 6 km from Multimedia Fountain Park, and while transport links are good, it's not walking distance to major sights.

“It was perfect – a new hostel with great design and very helpful staff. There's a bus stop right outside that goes to the airport (bus 188, I think).”

8Verified guest

“Great value. I stayed four days and bought a three-day transit pass to see the city. It's a hostel, so you're surrounded by young people. They do your laundry for free – excellent for anyone on a tight budget.”

“The staff were friendly and helpful, all speaking English well. They even helped plan a day trip to Auschwitz. Rooms were spacious and the bed comfortable.”

8Verified guest

“Located near a big open market where we bought cheap, good-quality food. The host was helpful and the laundry service was awesome. Rooms and bathrooms were big and clean. Transport was convenient to the old town, central station, and the international bus station. There's even a 24-hour currency exchange nearby. We really enjoyed it.”
