Babel Hostel vis a vis dworca.

A Truly Disappointing Experience – My Worst Stay Ever As someone who has been traveling and staying in hostels across many countries for years, I can confidently say this was my worst experience to date. First of all, the place did not feel safe. There was no access control or security in place — anyone from the street could walk directly into the sleeping area, which is extremely concerning. The reception staff made the situation even more frustrating. The older woman at the front desk was particularly rude and unhelpful. She spoke only Polish and made no effort to communicate or understand English, which left me feeling completely ignored. On the other hand, there was a younger woman on staff who spoke very good English and seemed much more approachable — she wasn’t bad at all. Unfortunately, she wasn’t around when I needed assistance most. On top of that, the reception area was very noisy. I could hear the staff — especially the older lady — talking loudly late into the night, making it nearly impossible to sleep. I understand that staying in a shared room with six other people comes with its challenges, but my roommates primarily spoke Indian languages and couldn’t communicate with me. More importantly, the snoring was unbearable, which of course isn’t the hostel’s fault — but when I asked the reception if I could pay extra to move to a different room, they refused. Again, the language barrier with the older staff member made it difficult to even explain my situation. Eventually, I had no choice but to cancel my reservation and book a room at a different hotel. I simply couldn’t stay any longer under those conditions. I do not recommend this place and hope they take these issues seriously for the sake of future guests.

A pleasant and clean hostel directly opposite the main train station (Wroclaw Główny). Staff were pleasant and helpful (not English speakers but we understood). We had a small but clean room with 2x single beds and a communal toilet and separate shower directly outside. We had the use of a kitchenette with microwave etc. There was WiFi and a small lounge. Access to the hostel was 24/7 which was great as we returned late from the Europa Conference League final. Excellent value for money.

It's a very good hostel with a prime location but two toilets is not enough for this many rooms...

Small, but quiet and cozy room. Hostel is located right in the center of Wroclaw, cross the road and you're at the train station. Everything is within reach. Staff are friendly, the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful. Interior decoration looks very good too. 2 bathrooms, clean, polished look. Maybe the downside is the price compared to other places, but I think the service and room quality, including its' strategic location make the current price a bargain.

Great hostel, it is rare that I give a perfect score to a hostel if my stay wasn't perfect but I give it just for the staff who was very helpful. The place was really clean and comfortable. But with only two bathrooms and showers you might have to wait during peak hours. The vibe was not really social so I didn't meet anyone but still had a homey vibe so I didn't mind. Seems like there were a bunch of older people there, not sure if they are staying there long term.

The staff is super noisy. I stayed for a week and every night they are talking super laud and doing things

I found it peaceful and wholesome. Smallish place, about 5 few cute rooms, but not cramped. The beds have curtains and power outlets. I made some friends in the common space, so it’s social enough. The staff are great, they’re helpful and down to earth. Location is several minutes from the train and bus stations, and there’s a tram stop for loads of trams into the centre. The way to the centre is walkable too. Wifi is solid. Towels are free. The place is clean and so are the beds. There are lockers in the rooms. Small downsides - there is no stove or oven, just a microwave. The showers are handheld, not fastened above. Also it’s close to a fairly busy street so some of the rooms are a bit loud at night if the window is open. I very much appreciated the total lack of stress in the days I was here. A welcome change from other countries.

Great location. Very helpful staff. Some dormitories have long term guests, they seemed like people living and working from there. You may miss out the fun of meeting fellow travelers if you are allocated to one of such dormitories. Else it's a nice place.
