PolandThe location is fantastic, right on the main street in the old town, A short stroll from the seafront and cablecar. We booked an en suite double room. It was 5 star, with a stand alone bath and super king sized bed. You could not believe that this was a room in a hostel. The staff were exceptional, helpful, cheerful and knowledgeable.

Ranging from dorms to private accommodation, each unit at the Santa Maria is decorated with attention to detail in a very colorful way. Dorm rooms have lockers, individual reading lights and access to shared bathroom facilities. Extra bed is necessary to request to the Hostel.

A mezzanine floor encloses the lounge area, with a reading nook, a flat-screen TV and sofas. There is also an outdoor seating area, where guests are welcome to relax. The central location of Santa Maria means guests are a few steps from the lively bar street, and a cable car can also be found within walking distance.
