Przez cały mój pobyt (5 dni) był utrzymany porządek i czystość w miejscach wspólnych (kuchnia i łazienki). Doceniam też spokój w samym hostelu.

Przez okna było bardzo słychać hałas z ulicy.

A good short-term hostel for a nice price
Pros:

The room is small, clean, and comfortable. Convenient location: cafes, shops, beach nearby. There is a refrigerator for storing food. Tea and coffee are available for free. The necessary utensils are available. It will stop for a while very well indeed.

The communal areas were cleaned every day, and everything was always clean in the communal baths. There was always enough paper)

Cons:

There are not enough shelves in the room to store personal items. Either a bedside table or a small closet, the suitcase just lay on the floor all day and served as a closet. 1 chair and 1 stand for small things did not save the situation much. I would also like the room to have a mini dryer for minimal items or some kind of fasteners on the wall for drying small linens and towels.

Evitad problemas y sorpresas
Pros:

Teníamos la reserva hecha y cargada en la cuenta. Nos escribieron por el servicio de mensajería de la aplicación diciéndonos que había habido un error informático en su sistema de reservas y que esta no pudo ser atendida (pero sí cobrada) y que nos tenían que cancelar nuestra reserva.
Les contestamos que el aviso de la cancelación se había producido con pocos días de antelación y las posibilidades que teníamos eran mucho más caras. Nunca nos contestaron.

Pogoda zrekompensowała wszystko
Pros:

Lokalizacja

Cons:

Umeblowanie. W pokoju było tylko łóżko, fotel i krzesło . Brakowało stołu, lampek nocnych, półek. Rzeczy trzymaliśmy na podłodze. Gdy chciałam wypić herbatę musiałam siedzieć na łóżku i kubek odłożyć na krzesło. To niezbyt wygodne. A wystarczyłoby dołożyć do wyposażenia ok 50 euro i byłoby naprawdę super. Szkoda.
