The Stranger Babel Hostel Wroclaw

Real Good
the staff are so friendly and right from the word go -- they gave us all the information we needed. thank god they spoke english as the lingo is hard to pick up in poland. they beat us at foozball a lot, but we let them. it's like a ten-minute walk into town, good location.

In a city without many options, this place is fantastic. Unbeatable location, close to both the station and the city centre. Exceptionally friendly staff, spacious, and well-equipped kitchen with free tea and coffee, movies and X-box for rainy days, cool lounge for meeting other guests. this place has everything the backpacker needs at a reasonable price. The owners are obviously clued-up on what packers need -- they even sell earplugs! Admittedly, guests are welcomed by the urine stench of the sh*tty stairs, but don't let this put you off. This is the only place to stay in Wroclaw!

The Stranger Hostel Wroclaw was in a great location -- practically just across the road from the train station. A short walk from all the city centre attractions too. The rooms are large and there's plenty of room for your gear. There's a new kitchen and two new bathrooms also. The staff are very friendly and give you a map and tips of where to go and what to see. A great hostel for location, seeing the sights, chilling out in the lounge, catching up on emails (there's a free internet computer). Simple free breakfast too, and tea and coffee twenty-four hours. I would stay here again.

I loved this hostel. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the price was fantastic. The beds were comfy, everything was very clean, and the other guests were very respectful and friendly -- I got sound, peaceful sleep all three nights I was there. I would absolutely stay there again, especially as it was so convenient to both the train station and the city center. Free breakfasts of cereal and bread, and butter and jam were very appreciated, too!

I have stayed in many hostels but this one was amazing! The staff were fantastic, the rooms and facilities were impeccable. Free Internet, free breakfast, washing service and a huge TV with a great range of movies if you felt like staying in. I felt completely at home the moment I walked through the door (at 1 a.m. after our bus from Prague!). It was within a 10-minute walk to the old town, and the bus and train stations were a stone's throw away. Don't let the crabby stairwell to the hostel put you off. There is gold at the end of the rainbow and for me, this was it! I didn't want to leave!

Beds are very comfortable, the bathrooms are top-notch (with funky transparent toilets), all the staff I have come across are great, and there is a decent social area. There are also extensive collections of DVDs and XBox games, and it is a stone's throw away from the train station. I've been to twenty-something countries this year, over eight months: Trust me, this hostel rocks. I will definitely be looking out for The Stranger Hostel brand in the future.

The inside of the hostel is very nice and the staff friendly. However, unless you are in a group, I suggest you don't stay. It is located on the 3rd floor of a very run down building. The stairs have no light and you have the distinct feel of entering a crack house.

This place is brand spanking new so it still felt a little incomplete. The Ju Ju Lounge was lacking in cushions (it was essentially just a wooden frame) and one of the windows had no curtain. However, this place has massive potential to be fantastic. The bathrooms are brilliant, the free movies a great touch and the entire place is spotless. Do not hesitate to stay here. You will not be disappointed.
