Poland

It’s the ultimate freedom trip: all your belongings strapped to your back, a guidebook in your pocket and a multi-stop ticket in your hand. But it’s not for the fainthearted: cockroaches, 20-hour train journeys and dodgy dorms is something the backpacker will have to get used to.

Mama's Hostel - Old Town

Posted by Sissi 4 April 2008

One of the best hostels in Europe I have ever stayed in. High standard on a budget. Great location, no curfew - allowed me to enjoy nightlife to the maximum. Great facilities. It is not the cheapest hostel in town, but you get a lot of freebies, like breakfast, laundry, maps, lockers and wi-fi.
I stayed there on a Thursday and came right on time to have a piece of the usual Thursday afternoon cake. Glorious.
