I was pleasantly surprised with this hostel. When I arrived exhausted after a long trip I was greeted very kindly by the staff. I shared a dorm with 11 other girls and at first I was a bit worried about the noise but it was a very calm and relaxing atmosphere (and clean)! Everyone was very respectful. There were separate toilets and showers as well, which was great. The area around the hostel was fine and it was quite easy to take the tram to where you wanted to go.

Great staff, the pub crawl is their best feature because you get to meet the wonderful guides and go to fun places where locals meet. Props to Wojtek & Lidia for making our stay memorable.

This is one of the best Hostels I've ever stayed at. It was very clean, very safe, and with a very cozy atmosphere. The Cafe was open at all times of day, and was quiet and relaxing, with a beautiful decor. The rooms with all the bunks were fairly spacious and accessible. You are situated right next to the Tram line that gets you anywhere into the city (Including the Train Station) Would Recommend to Anyone.
