    A very nice, small hostel. People at the reception friendly, breakfast was ok-ish (basic things but good for the start of the day). Rooms were small but cozy, lockers inside opened with the card (the only problem I had with them was that every time you used a card it made a bip sound, so it was not comfortable for me as I came in very late and everyone in the room appeared sleeping ;) Overall, very nice place.

    It's a bit too noisy. Not much privacy.

    The breakfast wasn't easy to find, and limited options.

    Amazing location, ended up being less than 30 minutes from all the tourist spots we wanted to visit. I was worried it would be noisy overnight but couldn't hear any other rooms. the Wi-Fi was fast and the water hot & good pressure

    Breakfast was very simple, as for Poland :) Meat, cheese, one greenery, bread, jam, flakes, tea/coffee. With curtains at the bed it would be more cozy, missed them a bit. In general, I didn't find anything critical.

    Excellent location in the city center. Friendly staff. It's possible to check-in in the night if you payed the stay beforehand. Room and facilities were clean. There are closets for your stuff, which is closed by the same card as the room, useful.

    The only thing I wished for is the light directly on my bed, so I could read and not disturb others when it's already dark.

    The location was perfect and the stay overall was very comfortable. I arrived 1h earlier and the room was already done so I could check in. Friendly staff and good logistics of hostel. Very clean.

    The breakfast was quite limited, but still good that we had it at all.

    Our room had a view of the Eiffel tower :D. It is a funny concept that each room is representing one of the famous cities. Hostel located in the historical city center, which is great and super convenient. Staff is helpful and polite.

    They need to have a toilet available outside of your own room. Where you have 6 people sharing one it can be a problem.

    Great location, easy to find from station. Helpful staff, nice building, breakfast very adequate for free. Enjoyed the terraces.

    Room somewhat lacked in cleanliness and could be updated. The bath was quite awkward in shape so I had to sit to shower but this wasn’t an issue for me. The breakfast is free which is great but there are limited options, good for budget travellers! Keep in mind for some rooms you will need to go up a few flights of stairs and this may be an issue for some.

    Amazing location, so close to everything. Room was luminous with big window. Staff was nice. I would definitely recommend for a solo traveller, it felt safe and was near everything I wanted to see.
