We stayed in a 10 bed dorm, and the rooms were tidier than what I have experienced in other hostels, the beds were comfy - although pillow a little lumpy, but at £13/night you can't complain! - there were large lockers in the rooms which the hostel provided padlocks for. The staff were all very friendly and spoke good English.... More

All the stuff there are really friendly, willing to share any information like free parking and locations of places you would like to visit, or just to chat while drinking your (free:) morning coffee. Bathrooms are cleaned few times a day and they offer you cleaning your laundry for a good... More

A great place to stay, very central, only a few mins walk into the main square. The staff here were especially brilliant, very helpful and friendly, easy to ask for advice and on a few occasions took us and some other guests out to a few good local pubs and clubs with them once their shifts had finished. If you... More

My check-in with Magda (staff) was remarkable. She was helpful, courteous, and had me checked-in and booked on am affordable tour to Auschwitz in a few minutes. The other staff were equally helpful & friendly. Getting there: SO close to the train station. I think it was about a 10-15 minute walk. Rooms: nice & clean. Solid bunk beds. Individual... More

Hostel giraffe was in a good location, basic but clean and bonus that it has a kitchen, great common area and good to meet other travellers. Amazing for the price. The bar was cool and cheap and open 24hours! Hostel could be noisy but they shut the door to the bar so was only noisy if you wanted it to... More

I stayed here for 4 nights in June. Immediately noticed the gorgeous staff (but Natalia no longer works there. Too bad for you! haha) and young people and of course a welcome free beer token. Great for meeting people to go to pubs with and believe me the more the merrier. There is a 24 hr bar, so it can... More
