DIRECTIONS, HOW TO FIND US??
BY TRAIN
To those coming to the hostel from the Central Train Station (Warszawa Centralna) we recommend a short walk. It should not take you more than 15 minutes and will allow you to see some of the city in the first minutes of your stay. If you checked our website you must have seen a map there. Just print it
out and then after leaving the train station (Warszawa Centralna) make sure that you have the Palace of Science and Culture (huge, weird looking building with a clock tower on the top- it's on our map) on your left side and that
you're on Aleje Jerozolimskie Street. Keep walking; you have to pass
the Polonia Palace Hotel (on your right, on the other side of the street). When
you see the big main crossing of Aleje Jerozolimskie and Marszalkowska
Street, go through underground passage: straight as far as you can go
and then right. After coming out from underground passage you have to
find yourself standing at the bottom of the Novotel Hotel. Make sure
that you have this hotel on your left and that you're on
Marszałkowska street. Keep walking straight along the street.
After passing Wilcza street (a side street from Marszalkowska) turn
left on Piekna Street and keep walking along it. We're located in a
light pink building with a huge Nathan's Villa Hostel banner on it.

take one of these buses:
