We had a good stay at Willa Retro, and felt the hostel was worth what we paid for it. It’s not glamorous, but super functional. Staff is never at reception but VERY easy to communicate with via text (even in English). There is one bathroom (one toilet, separate room with one shower and one sink) for most of the hostel which was a little difficult and sometimes crowded. The walls are thin so any time someone was loud that was heard by all. It definitely has charm and authenticity, sort of feeling like you’re staying at your Polish grandma’s house if your Polish grandma is a chain smoker. Overall, I was very grateful for staff’s easy communication and everything that was provided (towels, kitchen area). Traveling as a pair, it was just fine for us!

Nous ne sommes restes que une nuit. A notre arrivee, l hote nous dit que la chambre n est que pour deux. Alors que nous avons reservé pour 3. Une de nous dormira dans un fauteuil depliant. Logement tres sale tres bruyant. Une planche de bois en guise de cloison. Nous entendons TOUT!! Bruit à partir de 5 heures du matin. La porte de la chambre non isolee donne directement sur la cuisine collective. Nous avons tres mal dormi. Nous avons decide de payer 1 autre hotel. Tres deçus!!!

初めて到着したとき、写真とあまりにも違う様子だったため戸惑いました。どうやら、旅行者よりも現地で仕事を探していたりと長期滞在している人が多いようです。 ホステルというよりは、人が生活するスペースといった感じです。そのため、キッチンやシャワールームも少し雑然としています。 ただ、オーナーさんはとても良い人でした。 ホステルとしてはあまり星を多くつけられませんが、すごく嫌な経験をすることもないと思います。実際に、私はなんだかんだで４泊５日ここで過ごし、まるで我が家に帰るような気分で帰宅していました。
