Safestay Warsaw Old Town

Safestay Warsaw Old Town is a hostel at ul. Krakowskie Przedmieście 55, on the Royal Route in Śródmieście, Warsaw, Poland. The address is one of the most desirable for budget travellers: the University of Warsaw campus, the Presidential Palace, the Church of the Holy Cross and Castle Square are all within a short walk, and the Old Town Market Square is roughly ten minutes on foot. The Nowy Świat-Uniwersytet metro station and many bus and tram stops are nearby, and Nowy Świat's cafés and restaurants lie just to the south. The Royal Route is lined with historic palaces, churches and monuments, many reconstructed after the Second World War, and the hostel offers a base from which most of the main sights can be reached without transport. The Safestay brand is known for social, budget-friendly accommodation, and this hostel has a friendly, informal character that appeals to backpackers, students and solo travellers. Accommodation is offered as dorm beds and private rooms, so visitors can choose between the lowest price and a bit more privacy. Facilities include Wi-Fi, a 24-hour front desk and a common room where guests can meet, plan trips and relax. The property does not list a restaurant, spa or pool among its amenities, but the surrounding streets are full of cafés, milk bars and restaurants where a meal can cost relatively little by Western European standards. Service is informal and helpful, with staff able to suggest walking routes, bar crawls and day trips. Rates run from about 60 to 400 PLN (roughly $16 to $105 USD) per night, with dorm beds at the lower end and private rooms at the upper end. Chopin Airport is around 10 km away. Visitors should expect a lively atmosphere in the centre, particularly at weekends.
