Home to the nation’s capital and biggest city of Warsaw, Central Poland is the entry point for most travelers who arrive in the country by air. Industrial Lodz, the second biggest city, is here too, almost exactly at the country’s middle. Poznan and Torun are also popular with tourists, each boasting very pretty Old Town areas. Kampinos National Park, Poland’s second-largest, covers about 150 square miles. It's within easy reach of Warsaw and is a great site for hiking, cycling and skiing.

Our Hostel first opened in 2016. Warsaw Hostel Centrum was supposed to be a bit different, to stand out from the crowds. Our message is: We're Polish and we're proud of our heritage. We'd like to teach you a bit about our culture and history - isn't it one of the reasons we travel? That's why every room and common area is decorated with large wallpapers introducing famous Poles and important events from Polish history. You can learn all about it by scanning a QR code - simple as that. Looks cool as well! Obviously we couldn't fit in everything, the Hostel is nowhere near big enough for that, but it's a start. What else do we offer? 24 hour reception desk equipped with a safe to store your most precious valuables large common area with satellite TV guest kitchen & dining area free tea & coffee free luggage storage drinks, snacks & toiletries available at the reception desk secure key card system dorm rooms equipped with lockers, luggage baskets, reading lamps & small shelves laundry service, use of iron & ironing board towels for rent free Wi-Fi access throughout plus two guest computers in common area knowledgeable staff that live, study and party in Warsaw - an excellent source of local tourist and party information free city maps shared bathrooms equipped with hair dryers games to borrow (free of course) like jenga, scrabble, cards, dominoes, etc.
After arriving in Warsaw, Poland enroute to Ukraine made the decision to remain in Warsaw for a few days prior to heading to Leiv and Kyiv, Ukraine. Book a five night stay at the Warsaw Hostel Centrum in downtown Warsaw. This hostel is an adult-only property conveniently located a short distance from the Palace of Culture & Science (a 3-minute walk) and a 7-minute walk to Warszawa Centralna Train Station. Golden Terraces Shopping Center with a multitude of shops is just a short distance away. The property is accessed through a gate at 36 Emilii Plater Street. The hostel is in the courtyard. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19), wearing a face mask is mandatory in all indoor communal areas. This hostel has a 24-hour staffed front desk fluent in English, Polish and Russian, a small kitchen and a luggage storage room available for use by its clients. Free coffee, and tea are available in the lobby as well as a computer station. Additional items (juice, soft drinks, and water) may be purchased at the reception desk. This twenty-five-room hostel has a variety of rooms available from double rooms to a bunk in an 8-bunk dormitory room. Nonsmoking room are also available. Restroom facilities are shared and located at the end of the hallways. Stayed in room 217 at the end of the second-floor hallway. This is an 8-bunk dormitory style room. Each bunk comes with sheets, blankets, and pillow. A metal locker is provided to storage your luggage. Towels are not provided and may be purchased at the front desk if needed. Bunk bed was comfortable, and the blanks will keep you warm on very cold nights. Be advised this facility is open 24 hours a day, and guest come and go at all hours. Some guests are mindful of others, and try to limit their noise, while others have no respect for sleeping guests and go out of their way to disturb everyone. Overall, a suitable place and price for a budget stay! Due to a medical emergency was unable to travel to Ukraine. Had to cancel the remainder of my trip and return to the USA for immediate medical treatment. Hostel Centrum Warsaw was very accommodating and went out of their way to assist me. Thank you for your help during my medical crisis. Would highly recommend this facility to everyone traveling to Warsaw on a budget or just visiting for a few days. You will not find a better location and helpful staff. Will be returning to Poland in the future and will be most certainly staying at this facility.

Last night a MacBook Pro was stolen from the room. It was taken out of a locked drawer. The thief had keys and access to different rooms and corridors of the hostel, as well as keys to the locks. The thief was a young swarthy Asian man, 165-166 m tall, black hair, fairly long, falling down over his face, thus covering it. He was dressed in a gray coat, black pants, and had a surgical mask on his face. The thief is able to enter the rooms, there he changes his clothes. He carries a large black bag that is not of a sporty type. All this was tracked on the cameras. In addition, I ran into him personally in the corridor (at that time not knowing that he was a thief). Most likely, he has accomplices working with him: a man and a woman, both Polish, pretending to be a couple. They are not young. The woman is older than the man, slim, about 50-55. Wears a short haircut, leather jacket (not black). The man is younger, tall, thin. The robbery in this hostel happened yesterday. However, this time was not the first time! It turned out that the same Asian man had already come to this hostel a couple of days earlier, and had also robbed someone. However, if on his first visit he was extremely careful, and quickly left, this time he made a "tour" of the second and third floors. The robbery happened in the evening, around 10 p.m. The administration of the hostel is aware of what happened. But so far the thefts continue. The thief has free access to the second and third floors of the hostel for sure.

There's no doubt that the Tatamka hostel stands out above other accommodation in Warsaw. One of the biggest advantages is its superb location - the building is just around the corner from the most popular streets in the city, Nowy Swiat and Krakowskie Przedmiescie, and a short 15 minute walk from the Old Town. What does this mean? Put simply, you are within staggering distance of countless clubs, bars, pubs and restaurants.Other attractions of the capital city are also nearby: the business centre, shopping malls and numerous monuments - the Royal Baths included! With all these attractions around, you probably won't just be hanging round the hostel. That being said, it's good to know what this place has to offer: private rooms for 1, 2, 3 or 4 people (with or without bathrooms) as well as single places in bigger rooms: for 6, 8 and 10 people. We take care that the type of room and furnishings of the hostel suit each visitor - although the classical backpacker is well catered for because hostels are made primarily for them. That's why you'll find, amongst other things:- A common room with DVD player - an ideal place to relax and have a chat,- Free internet access (as well as wireless internet connection),- A fully-equipped kitchen,- Free coffee and tea,- Barbeque facilities.Because of the varied standards of our rooms and the many services provided on the hostel premises, our satisfied guests are also varied - foreign tourists visiting Warsaw, businessmen, organized groups and conference participants. Not only backpackers feel at home here!
Booked three nights to stay in a double room with private bathroom with my boyfriend. We didn't expect much, but couldn't really find a nice place in Warsaw anyway, so we chose to book it. Turned out a mistake. We stayed 10 minutes, I asked if we could change the room 'cause our room was not quite as presented on Booking. It was run down, had three single beds (not one double bed as expected) bathroom stank of chlorine and was moldy literally all over. Hallway looks like prison, so does the building from the outside. A change of rooms was not possible, because they were fully booked. When we checked out the lady at the reception tried to call the manager, But didn't reach him, to ask if she could offer us a refund. No answer so far (1day +) and I don't expect anything tbh. Do yourself a favor and don't go there. 10€ more and you can have a sparkling clean apartment somewhere else in Warsaw!

I must admit that my visit was to the affiliated golden moon bar which unfortunately lacks a trip advisor page - a mistake I hope is soon rectified We were initially skeptical of the street salesman promoting the bar, even dismissive. However after enjoying a drink in the nearby former communist party headquarters we decided to chance it. This is a truly remarkable bar, the entertainment and crowd were of a top calibre. I made friends which I’m certain will last for years. Conversation and free drinks flowed. We were made to feel like regulars by some of the local ladies. A certain dummy thicc woman was notably hospitable Unfortunately have to knock off one star as the more rotund waitress brought a round of GHB shots we didn’t order. Will be back

Location and place you were dreaming of! We are a newly opened hostel in centre of Warsaw, within just a 7-minute walk from the Main Railway Station. The hostel is furnished in a stylish manner, as it is located within the premises of a pre-war tenement house at 7 Poznańska Street. Various coffees, restaurants, pubs and trendy Warsaw club are just a few steps away. Both the young guests, as well as parents with children will find something for themselves in the vicinity. We can ensure cosy rooms, cleanliness and good fun.
Your average stay, nothing more. The hostel is located quite centrally to major landmarks, about 30min walk to the old town. It’s a very old building so don’t expect any luxury, and when you’re coming in winter time make sure you bring warm PJ’s. During check in we were told that each key comes with a 20zl deposit, I gave the receptionist 50zl expecting to get the rest back. When I asked for it she told me with an attitude that ‘that’s not how it works mr’, and that whatever I give her gets put in the deposit box which I will get back at checkout.

Retro Hostel, is situated in the centre of Poznan, in the tenement - house called the Flower Residence. It’s a really nice freshly renovated secessionist building where you can feel the atmosphere of the old town.Retro Hostel is very near such places like: a railway station (PKP), a bus station (PKS), Old Brewery Business and Art Centre, pubs, cafes, cinemas, swimming - pools, museums, theatres and Poznan International Trade Fair - everything within your grasp
If you’re looking to stay somewhere that’s just about as plain as bread and butter...this is your place! No atmosphere (doors were knocked on if you made noise past 10pm). Smells a little. However very good location to all local tourist attractions and in very close proximity to restaurants and bars. Didn’t charge us for the towel (nice). Clean and tidy (both the room and communal bathroom.) Probably wouldn’t return as was looking for a lot more atmosphere as a group of friends. (Stayed in a 6 room dorm)

Great comfort and design at low rates: our a&o Warsaw Wola offers 199 single, double, family, and multi-bed dorm rooms with a total of 650 beds – plenty of space for you and all your friends, family, or co-workers. This place is more than just a central location. Our mission is to make sure that every traveller feels right at home with us: That’s why we offer 24/7 service with a snack bar, guest kitchen and a laundry, as well as parking spaces. For entertainment, we’ve got tabletop football, billiards, free Wi-Fi and much more.
For my 3 night stay this place was adequate. Rooms were nice, internet fast and location ok easy enough to get bus to downtown. Staff fairly good but sometimes very slow to get service for a coffee or ask a question. Maybe need more staff on desk. Breakfast is ok not amazing and laundry is handy to use. I'd stay again if ever in Warsaw.

Hostel under the sign of cognition. Do you like traveling with a thrill? Are you a person who is curious of the world, who appreciates the highest achievements of our culture? Or maybe simply you want to reside in a place full of art and science which you have never seen before? We created our hostel thinking about people like you - true explorers. Settle down nearby the Old Town, take rest after your trip and start to chase the real adventure, feel the vivid everyday life of Poznan outside your window. Upon entering the hostel building you can feel the integrating power of the cinematography, then you can feed your eyes with the artistic photographs and this is just the beginning. Rooms dedicated to the greatest inventions of human kind are waiting for you on the four floors of the building. Coming upstairs you can hear the melody of mankind - piano, radio, vinyl - see how they were changing the world. If you have enough courage to go further, a real revolution will be waiting for you - a communication one. Be careful because the third floor accelerates a man and the fourth floor will get you high! We are sure that you will appreciate our rooms design which contain gizmos dedicated in each peace only to one invention. On the walls you will find a bit of gossips about the inventor and the invention - in three languages. Unique formula of our hostel makes your every visit an unusual experience. You will come back - for more cognition. Moreover during your stay you can taste moooore Poznan!;) In Explorer Caffe Restaurant we serve traditional cusine of Poznan, handmaded dumplings and much more! ;) Visit us and check! ;)
The bests things are the staff and the location which are superb . Beware that in July 2020 , there is no longer a restaurant or a bar, as stated still on some of the accommodation / hotel booking websites . Breakfast is ‘ basic’, but very fresh and good value for money . communal bathroom areas are a bit tatty , and ready for a refurb , but they are clean. If you want fresh fruit and more coffee , there is a JAbka across on Garbary st, together with cheap eateries . The old town square is around the corner. You will need to take a taxi or tram from the railway station or airport

I strongly recommend this place, it is in the city centre so you can choose where restaurant, museum, pub, club you want to go because everything is close. The design is great, beds are comfy, rooms are clean.
