Safestay Warsaw

I never post comments on Google, but in this case I have no choice. I have stayed in many hostels, but honnestly this was my worst experience. This place is anything but safe, and I do not recommend it, especially to women. During my stay, another woman and I were victims of sexual harassment. Unfortunately, the employees are not trained to handle this type of situation, and I don't blame them because they did their best with the knowledge they had. But management should provide them with training on how to respond appropriately if this happens again, because this lack of information puts them at risk as well. That's not all. The hostel was infested with bedbugs. They told me that this had never happened before, so a traveller probably brought them in, but I later discovered that at least three people had been bitten that same weekend in three different rooms. This does not surprise me, given the overall hygiene of the bathrooms and common areas, which leaves much to be desired. Once again, I would like to point out that I am not criticising the volunteers/staff, who really did everything they could and were responsive, understanding and kind – it is thanks them that I did not give the minimum number of stars for the service. Actually, I spoke with some of them who admitted that they are working in very poor conditions, which came as no surprise to me. In short, this hostel does not deserve its name until the management deigns to treat people, both employees and customers, the way they deserve.

nice location in the centre of old town. the staff is really nice. we even got the room early because we came before check-in. we went to the pub quiz which were really nice. it’s every Friday at 8pm. now to the bad things. let’s start at the bathrooms. disgusting. there mold on the door. the floor is greasy. the smell is weird and like fungus. u feel dirty after taking a shower. and it’s just really old and bad. the rooms looked okay in the beginning. but it hadn’t seen a vacuum cleaner for weeks at least. the wall were dirty. and in generel the place could use a renovation. it’s so old and dirty. there holes in the floors. but honestly, it’s cheap and okay. and we actually had some good days. but they could get better at cleaning.

I think best of this place was its location. Rooms where alright, I feel mattresses a bit too small. Bathrooms sometimes clean some times not that much, showers a bit small and a bit uncomfortable. Kitchen was not that great equipped and sometimes it was too dirty. On the other hand, laundry service pretty good and there is a bus stop right outside where the 175 bus stops. This one takes you to Warsaw-Chopin International Airport.

great value! perfect location, super close to the main square and right next to a great restaurant. room was very clean and folks at the front desk spoke good English and answered all my questions. they sell bottled water in the lobby which we bought each night. it's not luxury by any means and the room is small - but if you are looking for location/price/cleanliness this hits the mark.

It was fine to sleep - I recommend the female dorm for girls! But the lack of toilets / showers...so bad. 2 toilets and 2 showers for like 20 people is absolute madness. There is a major lack of cleaning in the toilets/showers as well. Yeah okay good location in the old town, not too expensive but clean toilet / shower facilities are necessary. I think the high rating here is for the location rather than the hostel itself

The hostel/hostel-style accommodation earns strong marks for its location — being right in the heart of major tourist activity, everything from museums, cafés, transport hubs is within easy reach. This makes it a very convenient base for sightseeing and for solo travellers on budget. Because of this location, you also get better “bang for your buck” compared to more out-of-the-way places. Crowded & Busy Atmosphere However — this prime location brings a major trade-off: over-crowding. As one guest put it: “It’s busiest days were very busy … which means the sinks and breakfast room can get very crowded.”  Large dorms, full occupancy, lots of comings and goings — if you like peace & quiet this may pose a challenge. Shared bathrooms and communal areas sometimes feel stretched.

Unbeatable location. Clean. The beds are fully equipped with plugs, lights, and curtains. Lockers under the bed (bring your own padlock). Key cards for both the floor and room doors make it safe. All in all, I recommend it for this price.

It was really perfect, the beds are really comfortable, they made efforts to give travelers privacy and comfort while not being too expensive. Probably one of the best hostel I ever went to. And for sure the location is precious
