Flamingo Hostel

Łódź


This chic, centrally located hostel offers a glamorous shared modern kitchen, handsome room decor – think minimalist boutique rather than youth hostel – and nice extras such as free hot drinks, secure lockers and city maps. The downside is that the rooms are a five-floor walk up. Dorms have four to 10 beds, some rooms share baths, some have balconies.
