4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2012 NEW

A clean, no fuzz hostel. We stayed in a 6 bed doorm with your typical bunk beds (wooden.. not the rubbish metal type though). The best thing about this place is the location; walking distance to both the old town and Nowy Swiat (shopping/restaurant district). Don't expect to meet loads of new friends at this place, I wouldn't define this... More

We stayed in a twin room, it was clean and nice enough. Location was fantastic and it only took about 5 minutes to walk into the old town. Place was generally clean and a couple staff members were friendly and helpful. I left a diamond necklace in the room in this hostel though and when contacting them afterwards the staff... More

I stayed in Hostel Helvetia for three nights and was happy with it. I had booked a three bed female only room, which was comfortable and clean. I arrived a little earlier than expected ( I had taken an earlier train from Krakow) but was disappointed to find that I couldn't get into the room until 2 o'clock. Someone else... More

We stayed in an 8 beds dorm, and it was nice, although the lockers weren´t too big, but our backpack fitted there, so no probs. Bathrooms are ok, but there was just 2 toilets for all dorms, so if you were in a hurry, better run up and downstairs. It´s fair to say there were 4 female showers and 2... More

Our stay at Hostel Helvetia was ok. Rooms are quite tight with reasonably small lockers, and showers could be better - not much space to store clothes when in shower, which is behind a curtain. The staff are friendly but unfortunately one of our group had a bad experience which staff were unable to resolve; her bed was remade in... More

This place has the nicest staff, a clean facility, free breakfast, and comfortable rooms. The location is central to Warsaw making it easy to get around. Also, there is free WiFi if you have your own laptop/computer. Like I said, best hostel in Warsaw.

We stayed at this hostel for three nights and thought it was good for the price we paid. The location is great – right near the University and a 15-20 walk from Old Town. It seemed to be in a safe neighborhood and the hostel has a daily door code that made me feel good about leaving my stuff there... More

I stayed in the Luxy building for three nights. There is no sign on the building so we had some trouble finding it when we arrived after midnight. Our room was clean and nicely decorated. The bathroom is also clean and modern, We never seemed to run into the other guests, so it felt like the whole place was ours.... More

We had a bad experience at another Warsaw hostel (Tamka - very filthy) and came here. Overall, the hostel is modern and clean, nice and provides loads of information for travelers. The common areas are neat and clean. We attempted to check in, and were asked to pay up front. On our way to the room, we were informed that... More

Quiet place, clean rooms, friendly staff. Breakfast was ok. Bathrooms were not so friendly as the rest - few showers in a one room; there were curtains, but I had a problem to keep my clothes dry. Before taking a shower you have to find a trolley (there were not enough of them - less than showers), put the clothes... More
