Negatives first – if arriving via the main station you’ll be parting with anything over 30zł to get there by cab. Secondly, if you’re luck is really low you’d be forgiven for thinking the 24 in the name refers to the number of hours you’ll go without sleep: walls are thin here, and that’s an acute problem if the workmen start below. But there is also good news; hostelling never really used to be like this, and budget-minded travellers can now rest easy in spotless digs that make use of pristine white colours, hardwood floors and modern fittings. Bring some earplugs and you’ve got yourself a result.
