  • Is it quiet at night?
    The hostel is situated in the middle of the one of the biggest cities in Poland, so we cannot guarantee the quiet nights, like outside the city center. Here we have many clubs and pubs, also in the same building. In fact, it depends on the season and the day of the week, mainly.

  • Can I use my own sleeping bag?
    Yes you can, but it doesn't change the price.
    Answered on October 13, 2019
  • How much does it cost to rent a lock?
    You do not need to rent a lock. Each locker has got the key. We take a deposit for the key of 10 pln.
