It's a hostel, so it can be fairly noisy with many large groups of young guests coming and going. I found the place pleasant and clean despite the challenges of maintaining what's basically a college dorm. Staff were nice. Price was right. Fairly quiet block, though just down the street there's a vibrant party district, esp Thurs-Sat. Walkable interests like Chopin museum, Vistula river, Kopernicus museum. MANY restaurants in the area.Try to get local dining recommendations because I spun the bottle and both places I ended up were overpriced and meh. You can never go wrong with Georgian.
