Babel Hostel, Dworzec PKP, Rynek

Free coffee. Noise. Loud place, entryway is right next to rooms. Every door creeks. Every door knob squeaks. Staff is loud at all times of night, played music one night until 23:00. Only Two toilets and two showers for too many people. Beds are cheap and rickety. Loud bed noise with tiny movements at night. Common area “closed” from 23:00 - 7:00am. No shelves in bunk. No light in bunk. Impossible to function in bunk, but common area closed. Kicked out of common area for a staff meeting. Poor management. A couple staff members were professional- others not.

Clean, good staffs good location Too high floor , It is hardly to move there

The location was great. The living room could be comfy but I didn't stay long enough to explore it. The staff kept being surprised that I don't speak Polish and would enter to the dorm room without knocking to randomly request my passport after the check-in. The kitchen is in the corridor so there is barely enough space to walk and from the rooms you hear everything. There is a coffee machine with opening hours which are not respected which is a limitation in particular as there is no stovetop to make your own.

The overall feeling of the place was neat and tidy. I didn't like the radio station choice that was played in the morning. It spoiled the atmosphere of this place. I would recommend choosing a more ambitious radio station that suits the place.

Superb location

It's in a great location in the city. The hostel is clean and quiet with excellent services

Everything as I expected

At times, it was rather noisy.

nothing

This hostel is located 5 minutes to the train station along with many restaurants. The market square is only a 20-minute walk away as well. The staff were okay, but honestly, not that friendly. The owner is a really decent guy, but he has a bad apple in the bunch. The only issue that I saw was that one of the staff was very rude and quite arrogant. Generally, I wouldn't say anything, but this person is not a good choice for a manager. Otherwise, I was pleased.

Excellent location close to the bus terminal and train station. Lots of shops nearby. Staff is very friendly and attentive. The hostel is very small. Not much space at all. Had to wait to use the bathroom and shower quite often. There is no elevator so be prepared to climb up to the third floor with luggage.

You will be waiting to use the bathrooms. The kitchen only has a microwave. They need to get a fan for the room because it gets hot and the street is way too loud to be keeping the window open. I also didn’t like that the staff started cleaning at 8am, waking everyone up. They should be waiting until the check out time

The hostel was located on the 3rd floor of the building with no elevator, so getting luggage upstairs was a bit of work in the heat.

The location is great, the room in the new building is spacious and very clean.

The hostel is great! It is situated near the bus and train stations and is within just a 10-minute walk from the historical centre of the city. The space itself is atmospheric; it's not just situated in an old building, but the interior is charming and quirky. It even features some of the original decor, such as old wooden doors. It's one of the hostels where you don't feel like you have to go out in the evening to spend time at a more pleasant location. It is also exceptionally clean and tidy, a real rarity for a hostel. So I highly recommend it. Keep in mind, it is on the 2nd (3rd) floor of an old building with no elevator, which can be a challenge if your bag is super heavy. The staff was great overall, except for one rude person at the desk (I think her name was Ala). I also wish there were a female-only room, especially since many women were staying at the hostel.

Everything needed for a few days stay was present. The coffee machine was not working most of the time and was not fully prepared for use. was The room was hot all day and night, with no a/c nor fan. We had to open the windows at night which had no bug nets.

All good i recoment very good hubicationn

Cheap, clean, comfortable

It’s close to the main bus station First of all, the place did not feel safe. There was no access control or security in place — anyone from the street could walk directly into the sleeping area, which is extremely concerning. I arrived at night and there was a old lady at The reception who spoke only Polish and made no effort to understand or communicate in English. She was not welcoming at all. On top of that, they were incredibly loud, talking late into the night — I could hear them clearly from my bed, making it almost impossible to sleep. I understand that staying in a shared room with six other people comes with its challenges, but my roommates primarily spoke Indian languages and couldn’t communicate with me. More importantly, the snoring was unbearable, which of course isn’t the hostel’s fault — but when I asked the same old lady in the reception if I could pay extra to move to a different room, they refused. She didn’t even try to understand my request due to the language barrier, which left me feeling ignored and frustrated. Eventually, I had no choice but to cancel my reservation and book a room at a different hotel. I simply couldn’t stay any longer under those conditions.

It’s on the Third Floor with no lift! No Stove. Just a microwave.
