There's no doubt that the Tatamka hostel stands out above other accommodation in Warsaw. One of the biggest advantages is its superb location - the building is just around the corner from the most popular streets in the city, Nowy Swiat and Krakowskie Przedmiescie, and a short 15 minute walk from the Old Town. What does this mean? Put simply, you are within staggering distance of countless clubs, bars, pubs and restaurants.Other attractions of the capital city are also nearby: the business centre, shopping malls and numerous monuments - the Royal Baths included! With all these attractions around, you probably won't just be hanging round the hostel. That being said, it's good to know what this place has to offer: private rooms for 1, 2, 3 or 4 people (with or without bathrooms) as well as single places in bigger rooms: for 6, 8 and 10 people. We take care that the type of room and furnishings of the hostel suit each visitor - although the classical backpacker is well catered for because hostels are made primarily for them. That's why you'll find, amongst other things:- A common room with DVD player - an ideal place to relax and have a chat,- Free internet access (as well as wireless internet connection),- A fully-equipped kitchen,- Free coffee and tea,- Barbeque facilities.Because of the varied standards of our rooms and the many services provided on the hostel premises, our satisfied guests are also varied - foreign tourists visiting Warsaw, businessmen, organized groups and conference participants. Not only backpackers feel at home here!

Detailed Reviews
No lift...I use a cane and had to walk up 3 flights of stairs. And the shared bathroom was on the second floor! So if you are an older person who needs to get up to pee at night ask for a room on the first or second floor! It was hot and I had to keep window open. Lots of street noise. But the front desk staff was pleasant and there was free coffee. It was very clean.

Stayed here for a week in November. Stayed in the 6 bed and 8 bed dorms. Both dorms were cool, bunk beds were of a decent size (fairly comfortable) and every bed has lockable drawer below it. The rooms are nice and clean and are cleaned by the maids every day, be careful they don't take your towel. They took mine and all laundry is sent to some company in Warsaw so it's impossible to get it back. They gave me another towel so it was cool in the end.. wi-fi is also available in the dorms and worked fine on my laptop.
The Kitchen is pretty good and of a decent size. They provide free breakfast (cereal, toast, tea). Each floor has two private showers with toilet and wash basin. There's a cool lounge area where you can read or watch movies, and it's quite a nice area to chill and socialize. The hostel let me me borrow a few of their DVDs to watch on my laptop in the dorm, which was cool.
There's a washing machine that you can use, have to pay for washing powder (about 4 zloty).
The location is OK, everything in Warsaw is quite spread out. Nowe Swiat is about 10 minutes walk away, probably takes about 20 minutes to walk to the main train station.
Overall this is a very good hostel, with friendly staff. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

We only paid 10 euro per person and coming from Denmark, that’s super cheap so we were stoked.
Pros : a reasonable sized room which has pretty fun interior that housed 3 of us.
The bathroom is of reasonable size and a good functioning shower. The room, sheets and shower were clean.
The hostel in general was pretty quiet in the night. The staff at check in are pretty nice and even recommended a local place to eat Periogi! Hostel is located in a prime location! The room had a small balcony so plenty of fresh air and view.
They have free tea and coffee all day round. My friend used their common area microwave to heat up her breakfast. They have breakfast but we didn’t pay for it.
Small convenient store right across. 24hour reception so you can come and go whenever you’d like, hallelujah!
Cons : not major cons but things you might want to know :)
The towel they provide is super small ; more like a large hand towel - not big enough to wrap yourself so if size matters ;-) not enough room or hooks or such in the room or the bathroom.
The building looks old and kinda creepy from outside but don’t get scared :)
Overall : I’d highly recommend this hostel especially for a group. Please note this review is only for the room I stayed in which was a ‘private bath and group of 3’ option for a day ( we were mostly out sigh seeing) and 1 night.

The general cleanliness was very good. And their availability was constant. But it stops there. One of the shower stalls ( one out of the two on our floor) wouldn’t drain. Quite disgusting. No internet for nearly every hour we were there (more than 24). In their advertising they should have made it clearer that the rooms were by default coed. Even though they were advertised as economical, the prices were very high due to an Ed Sheeren concert but it was not worth the $52/person per night. It was very hot also; they needed to invest in ceiling fans or other types of cooling mechanisms.

Excelent facilities for a solo traveler. Dorms are pretty, clean, modern and spacious. The bed also comes with a little nightstand and a reading light!
Good security system and handy 24h service. Easy check in and out. Shared showers are private with locks and a loundry soap is only 1€.

Impossible to sleep due to polish ɓehaving like animals outside, 24/7 strong noises on the street, always woke up with headache if I managed to sleep 4h. One night I even had to find another staying. Unfortunately all other places were occupied because of the concerts or I would have left immediately.
Price was really high just because of the concerts, I paid 80 euro for a night, for 30 eur I had found a nice air bnb with private room but unfortunately just for 1 night was available. Scam.
The hostel itself is clean and equipped, very spacious (I was in the top floors).
The very first time I saw it wanted to leave because it looked soviet from outside and that's not the best start. Also as soon as I went through the stairs saw a man without shirt stinking of alcohol, seemed like a street thug, so I wasn't feeling safe. The climate became better when other people from the concert came and felt more without weirdos.
Overall the hostel itself was nice but if you can't sleep it defeats the purpose of being there, just not worth. Will choose an air bnb next time and book in advance, to avoid lack of free spots like this time.
Won't come back again. If you see street is noisy, insulate the windows. It seems many polish are uncivilized here and make noises on the street 24/7. I have been in bigger cities and never seen this

The hostel is about a 30 minute walk from the train station and easy to find. It is fairly centrally located near the university and not far from the reconstructed old town.
Got to the hostel and range the buzzer for about 15 minutes with no response, felt stranded. This only happened on one other occasion in my comings and goings over three days, though it was an inconvenience.
Beds were horrible, double foam mattresses that looked like a taco and wooden bunks that creaked with every breath.
Breakfast (bread, cheese and instant coffee) available for purchase in the mornings.
Random strangers not staying in the hostel walking around the hostel and hanging out (some spending the night) in the common area, with no concern by hostel staff. One traveler had his bag stolen from the common area while I was staying there; security is a concern.
Bad things can happen anywhere, though they just seem more likely to happen here…stay elsewhere in Warsaw.

the title of my review kind of captures it all. the receptionists (females :) made our stay in tamka gr8. everybody got a welcome beer right away so there was a real party at the bar (aka reception). they also took us out and gave as early breakfast. guests who stay in tamka for a longer period may get the privilege of sitting behind the reception bar :D my special thanks go to lovely paulinka! :*

Booked three nights to stay in a double room with private bathroom with my boyfriend. We didn't expect much, but couldn't really find a nice place in Warsaw anyway, so we chose to book it. Turned out a mistake. We stayed 10 minutes, I asked if we could change the room 'cause our room was not quite as presented on Booking. It was run down, had three single beds (not one double bed as expected) bathroom stank of chlorine and was moldy literally all over. Hallway looks like prison, so does the building from the outside. A change of rooms was not possible, because they were fully booked. When we checked out the lady at the reception tried to call the manager,
But didn't reach him, to ask if she could offer us a refund. No answer so far (1day +) and I don't expect anything tbh. Do yourself a favor and don't go there. 10€ more and you can have a sparkling clean apartment somewhere else in Warsaw!

Response from Tomasz Kuzminski, Obsługa klienta / relacje z gośćmi at Tatamka Hostel
Responded May 24, 2021
Hello, first of all I am really sorry about your bad experience in our property, I can only assume it was a staff mistake, but it shouldn't have happened. But I also wanted to let you know that over the last several month Tatamka Hostel went through a lot of changes. We have all new staff with a very positive attitude and we've spent a lot of time to do repairs & renovations in our property. so we could better meet our guests needs. I wanted to encourage to give us another shot, so I can offer a discount for any direct booking with the promo-code "Trip Adivsor" done via e-mail to tatamka@hostel.pl Best regards!

Good option in Warsaw. Very well located, just few blocks from Nowy Swiat, so you can easily walk to Stare Miastro, Kopernic Museum, some Mleczny bars (cheap and good local food), and get bus to train station and the airport. There is a grocery and coffee just in front of. The staff is really friendly and helpful. I should highline the quality of the matress. we stayed in a twin room, which was very good. excelent choice!

Yes, but only if you make full prepayment for your stay, which is is not refundable. This is because we had many reservations before made for visa purposes only and people were not arriving in the hostel.
Kind regards,
Michal Szuba
