We were treated very disrespectfully at this hostel.Didn't break any rules-that we know of-but the australian guy who seems to run the place seemed quite arrogant.He seemed OK when we arrived but after that not friendly at all. also we had to climb stairs forever and ever.We were already tired when we arrived and returned the next day also.Exercise is... more

Normally, I am not one to rave about hostels. Actually, normally I do my best to avoid them. But the three nights we had in Olomouc were great. It is a really beautiful and peaceful place, and I think The staff at Poets helped us out alot. Niki is super friendly and even let me pitch my tent on the... more

Poet's is a great hostel, with friendly and welcoming staff, in a quiet and beautiful city. I've stayed at Poet's a number of times - 3 weeks during the summer of 2006 - and more recently during weekends in Olomouc in March 2009. The only thing that has changed is a few faces of the staff and they now have... more

We stayed at the Poet's Corner during a 7 week trip through parts of Europe and Africa. We had just come by train from Prague and found Olomouc to be charming and beautiful (cooler astronomical clock than the one in Prague, in my opinion). Poet's corner is very centrally located and easy to find. It's a quirky place, which is... more

We got back yesterday from 2 nights in Bratislava followed by 2 in Olomouc. Having been to Bratislava before, it was no surprise how much we enjoyed it. Olomouc on the other hand was a real eye-opener. We stayed at the Poets' Corner with the 2 kids (two and four), which was the wife's idea as she has a history... more

This hostel was the best experience we had by far. Olomouc the city is far superior to Prague for two reasons. No tourists and 1/3 of the price of Prague. Go to Olomouc and make sure to stay in the Poet's Corner. They are friendly and very helpful. This is a great place for couples and people that want a... more

Yes, the hostel is really nicely decorated, very homely and Olomouc is indeed a great, yet undiscovered, beautiful and cheap little town. However, the staff is a little too enthusiastic..they are so enthusiastic that they almost force you to see all the sights, and make you feel bad if you don't. We were wondering if it was real enthusiasm or... more

Poet's Corner could not have been better. Friendly, knowledgeable staff who love the city they live in, keep travelers abreast of local concerts, hockey games, festivals, etc; and encourage a comfortable sense of camaraderie amongst guests. Great sitting room; lots of fun conversation. Clean facilities. Comfortable beds. Lots of sunlight. Fun, quirky, comfortable decor. Great bikes to rent cheap for... more

This hostel is in a great location smack in the middle of the city. A geat atmosphere and the staff were very friendly with a great knowledge of not just Olomouc but the entire region. Highly recommend it. more
