Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Basic shared facilities — Bathrooms and toilets are shared, and while guests call them clean, this may not suit everyone's preference for privacy.
- Language barrier possible — Some guests note that staff are not highly proficient in English, which could be a hurdle for non-Polish speakers needing detailed assistance.
- Not a party destination for everyone — One guest called it a 'great party spot,' but others value it for quiet and sleep, so expectations may vary depending on your plans.
