I spent three nights at Helvetia Plus, and while the hostel is clean and modern, there are definitely a few areas that could use some improvement. The staff were helpful, but the amenities just felt a bit basic with some odd quirks. Overall, it's a decent place if you're looking for affordability, but don't expect luxury.

I couldn't have asked for a better stay in Warsaw! The location is absolutely perfect and so easy to navigate. The rooms are clean and nicely renovated, making for a comfortable atmosphere. The staff are truly welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is decent, though it's better if you opt for the special one. My only wish is that everyone would chip in to keep the shared kitchen tidy. Overall, it's fantastic value for money!

The hostel is conveniently located on a quiet side street, making it easy to explore the main shopping and sightseeing areas on foot. The cleanliness is impressive, and the rooms are spacious, although the atmosphere lacks a bit of vibrancy, typical of a hostel. Breakfast options are limited to cereals and jam, which is a bit underwhelming. Overall, it's a decent place if you're looking for a quiet stay, but you might miss out on socializing with other travelers.

I had a pleasant stay at Hostel Helvetia, enjoying the comfortable and clean environment. The location was a major plus since it was just a short walk to the main tourist area. While the breakfast was decent, I found it odd that I had to pay for a towel. Overall, it was affordable and served my needs for a couple of nights, though the early check-in policy could use some improvement.

My experience at Hostel Helvetia in Warsaw was very positive. The location was excellent, just a short stroll from the metro and university area, making it easy to explore. The place was spotless, and I felt safe throughout my stay. While breakfast was decent, sometimes it could be a bit messy as not everyone cleaned up after themselves. Overall, it was a valuable and pleasant stay, particularly as it had a diverse crowd, making it a great place for meeting new people.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, with a decent value for the price. The building's age was noticeable, but it was still clean and offered good amenities. The friendly staff made my experience enjoyable, and the location was ideal for exploring the city. Unfortunately, the lack of air conditioning made it tricky to cool down the room, especially with noise from the street when the window was open.
