Hostel Stara Praga Południe na Wiatracznej

Very Poor
Traveller Type:
  : electric kettle, cups in a room.
  : The staff was mean to us, and they were racist because we're Asian. We booked a double room but got a triple one instead. The room was cold because the heater wasn't working. After a long day, we just wanted to relax in a warm room, but we had to go downstairs to ask the staff to heat it up. Even after three hours, we still had to wear jackets inside because it was freezing. It seemed like the heater had been off all day and only turned on when we arrived, which is why it was warmer outside than inside.

  : Good value for price, mostly, if you dont have expectations. Very clean and tidy. No loud neighbors luckily, but walls are paper thin just so you know. . Great location with plenty of reasonable eateries around, a market and shopping mall.
  : Had to look for an atm on arrival as they only take cash: fair enough but you could say that in advance. Kitchen and common room to eat closed between 12h and 15h; you cant even get your stuff from fridge and you are not allowed to take anything to room. Shower room was freezing, water barely lukewarm and you constantly had to press a button every 5 seconds (i counted).. Lots of written warnings everywhere, you can't do this you cant do that, it felt rather like a school yard. No electrical appliances allowed in rooms: you have to charge your phone in the corridor. 20zl deposit that you get back if you leave before check out time: Creative for sure, never seen such a thing in the 100+ hostels i have been to in just about every continent except Antarctica, which I haven't been to. Kitchen has one pot and one tiny pan for frying eggs and otherwise very very basic. Fridge temperature 11C as shown by its own termometer......better just leave your dairy in the courtyard (it's winter now).

  : The cleanliness of the area and the staff, also the location was accessible to the places we visited. The room is very spacious, the staff are accommodating and friendly. The environment is serene and calm. There's proximity to malls, supermarket, open markets and availability of different means of transport (bus, tram, taxi).
  : No complimentary food nor drink, the toilet was kinda smelly. No toilet roll nor towel provided in the room. There was no soap as some provide hotels.
