Poets' Corner Hostel Reviews

Poets' Corner Hostel maintains a cozy bohemian decor, featuring well-kept antique furniture and tasteful art. Paired with sincere, discerning staff who boast a fantastic attention to detail, and guests can expect a stay like none other in charming Omolouc.

The Location

The hostel is located in an old building on the edge of Omolouc's Old Town. It's an ideal location, because as they say in Omolouc, nothing is more than a fifteen-minute walk away. Just across the street is a big supermarket and many restaurants and cafes dot the surrounding neighbourhood. The city's main plaza is only about five minutes on foot, and the city's parks aren't much further.

Beyond walking, trams and buses seem the standard for getting around. The main train station is about a seven-minute tram ride from the tram stop nearest the hostel.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The hostel sprawls over two floors, one for dorms and one for private rooms. The two dorm rooms are spacious with simple, sturdy wooden bunks and clean, comfortable bedding. Two power points can be found near each bunk and lockers are situated under the bottom bed.

There are two bathrooms on the floor; one features a toilet and sink, while the other has a shower and sink. Having only one toilet can prove a bit of tricky situation if the hostel is fully booked, however all the bathrooms and dorms are kept sparkling clean.

Common Spaces

The hostel includes three common rooms, well decorated in a chill, bohemian style. The main room offers several comfy antique couches and chairs, and a guitar for all the guests ready to try their hand at "Wonderwall." Another, smaller lounge provides a small table and chairs as well as a cozy balcony. Books and tourist information are readily available, but without becoming an overwhelming eyesore.

The kitchen is complete with a fridge, stove, coffee, tea, and everything you'll need to cook a filling meal. Here you'll also find a dining table; seating; and with any luck, some smiling faces.

Summary

Poets' Corner is more than a simple sleeping arrangement in Olomouc -- it's a wonderful place in which to hang out all on its own. Staff have many recommendations for things to see and do -- just ask and they'll be overjoyed to help.

Response from the accommodation: Thank you SO much for the amazing write-up about us! We would just like to add 3 corrections, if we may: 1) The city is spelled "Olomouc" (not Omolouc). 2) On the dorm room floor, there are 3 dorm rooms, not two ... an 8-bed, a 6-bed and a 4-bed. 3) On the dorm room floor, we actually have one toilet (with sink) ... one toilet and shower (with sink) ... and one shower (with sink). Maybe you are thinking the private room floor, which has as you described, but is only shared between 3 private rooms. Once again, we are VERY honoured by the review! All the very best, The Poets

Description

Poets' Corner is a small hostel, owned and run by former backpackers. We've tried to create the kind of place that we would like to stay in ourselves, with a comfy common room, big, bright, well-equipped kitchen (even a toaster, recycling facilities and fresh herbs on the windowsill in summer), spacious dorms and spotlessly clean bathrooms. The sofa in the common-room is a favourite place for browsing through our reading library and book-swap.

Olomouc is the historic capital of Moravia. It is the Czech Republic's fifth largest city, with 100 000 inhabitants, and is home to its second oldest university. The main attraction is the historic centre of the city, and the Holy Trinity Column is UNESCO-heritage-listed. The historic town hall, socialist astronomical clock, cathedrals and the series of baroque fountains are highlights. The many student bars, cafés, restaurants and the rich cultural life of the city are all within easy walking distance.

Moravia is the second historic land of the Czech Republic. More agricultural and less populated than Bohemia, it retains closer connections to the folk customs of the past. A long musical tradition survives, and everyone will tell you that Moravia is the friendliest part of the country. Popular day-trips from Olomouc include the two spectacular castles, Bouzov and Helfstyn, the Javoricko caves complex, the UNESCO-listed archbishops' palace complex at Kromeriz and the outdoor museum of wooden architecture at Roznov pod Radhostem.

We highly recommend the region and city, and we would be most happy to host you during your stay!
