    Bit cold in the bathroom (we arrived at night).

    We had the room with the backyard view and private bathroom. The room was old-fashioned but clean and comfortable. There was a kettle so we could make a cup of tea. Parking was against the fee. The hostel is so near to the old town! The lady in the reception was waiting for us to open the gate to the parking place at 1 am. Really good communication. It was our 3rd stay. If you are sensitive against the. noise, try to avoid "town view" rooms. Those rooms have windows against the main road.

    The only issue that we encounter during our period of stay is the room can become quite cold during the night, because the heating system is not properly work in 100% capacity. If they able to fix this issue, then it'll be perfect place to stay as a budget traveler.

    In general, our experiences while staying in the hostel is quite good. The person that welcoming us in the front desk is very helpful with us. The whole facilities inside the hostel are either good enough or at least, reaching the standard for a place to stay for a short period.

    The room smelled slightly like cigarettes/ashtray. Probably because of the carpets or chairs (Beds were ok)??? But it was acceptable. Not very strong..In Poland nearly everybody smokes. The smell is ubiquitous. The window faced the main street with a lot of traffic. Despite this, we were able to sleep well (with ear plugs in my case).

    The hotel is very central, near to the old town, restaurants, shops... Check in/out was easy. Good communication. The facility (toilets, bathrooms) are newly reconstructed. Very clean! Towels for 5 zloty at the reception. Beds are OK for good sleep. I can fully recommend the hotel. Very cheap and ok for sleep over.

    Pick the right room type if you are staying here

    My room type is by the main road, so traffic noise could be heard day and night even with windows completely closed. Curtain blinds can only block some light from outside so it wont be complete dark at night when you turn off the light. Light sleepers without ear plugs would find it very difficult. Know they have rooms not facing the main road but of course at different prices.

    Front desk runs 24/7 and staff is friendly and helpful. Luggage storage before/after check-in/out available. The whole place is a bit run-down but things look well maintained. The room is basic but clean (but lighting a bit too dim), So does the shared bathroom and kitchen. I like they have an old-fashioned but comfy armchair in my room.

    There was a traffic light that was ticking very loudly. Also it smelled from cigarettes although everything was non smoking.

    The hostel is well organized with a 24/7 reception. It is very well kept and quite clean. It is quite close to the city center but sufficiently away to avoid all the noise. Honestly, I was very surprised by the whole ordeal given the price. Great place. If you are a backpacker like me, stay here.

    It doesn't have an elevator and there is no wifi signal on all the floors. It's not the most modern or the best equipped hostel.

    It is a decent hostel to spend a couple nights. It is relatively close to the center. It is clean and quiet.

    Actually, everything was as expected, the only thing I missed was a clothes rack or hanger in the room.

    The room was spacious and the kitchenette came in very handy for morning coffee. The dining room was very nice and the breakfast was delicious. Proximity to the Old Town is also an advantage - you can walk there.
