The Best Hostels in Warsaw, Poland
Warsaw is emerging as one of Poland’s most vibrant cities, with hipster restaurants, cool bars and glittering skyscrapers. You can explore the Unesco-protected Old Town, try golonka (pork knuckle) and visit the Fryderyk Chopin Museum for a cultural fix – all on a budget. Here’s our guide to the top hostels in Warsaw for your next trip.
1. Safestay Warsaw
Hostel
If it’s safety and comfort you crave while visiting the Polish capital, then the centrally located Safestay is ideal for you. In-room curtains and under-bed storage lockers provide you with privacy and security, while each bed also has its own personal light and power socket. The chilled-out top-floor loft is an open-plan, communal area with a bar. Here, you can mingle with your hostel mates over a Polish piwo (beer) or play a board game.
2. Hostel Chillout
Hostel
Hostel Chillout is a suitable base if you want to stay in Warsaw’s modern city centre. As its name suggests, it’s a relaxed place that makes a refreshing change from the popular, touristy Old Town area. The building itself is a renovated pre-World War II tenement house with a spacious common area and well-equipped kitchen. At Hostel Chillout, you are close to some of the city’s coolest up-and-coming bars, cafes and restaurants. The location is also ideal for visiting the Palace of Culture and Science and Łazienki Park (Royal Baths Park).

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.
Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.
Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.
Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.
We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits.
