Oki Doki Hostel is located in the heart of Warsaw. You are close to the Old Town Square and are…read moreclose to several restaurants and shops. The minute I saw a sign for AIR-CONDITIONING UPGRADE, I immediately signed up for it. When you stay in Europe during the summer, you'll understand. This hostel is very chill, they have planned activities, but aren't pushy. My room was clean and I stayed in a mixed room with 7 other people. I wish there was more space and amenities, but when you are paying dirt cheap, you can't complain.

I'm really amazed that you can get to stay at this nice hostel so cheaply. All in all 400 sek (170…read morezl) for 3 nights, including breakfast, is pretty amazing. You will need to leave a deposit for the key so have 20 zl or similar amount in Euro ready. Free WiFi available (worked well). Mind you: you will have to walk in the stairs to get to the reception/breakfast and possibly also to get to your room. No elevator. Staff were super friendly and helpful. (If you read this, big thank you - you're awesome!) I stayed in a 4 bed female dorm and was lucky enough to have nice room mates (it's always a risk you have to take). Linen were good and included. Duvet warm and fluffy and the pillow rather big. Metal bunk beds were surprisingly comfy and I slept good (with ear plugs). All beds had a reading light with a small shelf on top and a outlet for charging e.g. a cell phone. The room had its own toilet with toilet, sink and shower. Fresh and good. Soap available. Towel could be rented for 5 zl (good size and thick) and soap/shampoo could be bought for only 2 zl each! Hair dryer could be borrowed in the reception. Lockers in room were good and lock was included. Breakfast surprisingly good. Toast with assortment of nutella/jam but also cheese, ham, vegetables. Cereals and milk. Coffee/tea. Buffet style and refilled often. Fully equipped kiitchen with stove/oven and fridge and microwave and all you need to cook a meal. Very good location, 5-10 min walk from Centrum (15 min from central station) and tram stop just outside to take you to the Old City in 10 min. Finally, they organized different events in the common room every night, from vodka shots and pickles to sangria night or pasta night. Not sure how well attended but I really appreciate their efforts. Had a fantastic stay and will definitely stay here again when in Warsaw!

Reception speaks English (very rare in Poland), but what is very unusual is there is no lobby, and no reception desk! You dial 27 on the Stairway 1 (K1) intercom, tell them you have a reservation and they will come down from their apartment, confirm your reservation number and Pre-payment, and show you to your room. Bathroom and toilet, and small frig, hot water kettle and microwave in hall shared by 4 rooms. Wifi is weak. Good small Carrefour Market 2 blocks up,to right on exit, good pastry shops, and beer/wine/spirits, Amrit Kebab restaurant very good next door. The laundry across the street is a rip off (100 Zloty/$28 for one load of no iron laundry!) Only problem, is that unlike Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, almost no one speaks English, and many locals become frustrated and maybe a bit upset. I RECOMMEND Oh, it is a bit away, 1 km from Old City, but I have not succeeded so far in finding something else. Total not tourist area. Poles though no problem nice are a lot more reserved than Germans, French, Spanish, Portuguese, English, etc. Polish is very difficult, though I am fluent in 4 European languages, Polish is something else.

All the beds creak terribly, but at least they're comfortable. Also, you can't even afford to put a shelf in the shower? Seriously?
