8 handpicked hostels in Łódź, sorted by traveler rating.
Lodz is Poland's third-largest city, 130km southwest of Warsaw, and the country's post-industrial reinvention story. Once the textile capital of Russian-ruled Poland, its 19th-century red-brick factories now hold art districts, hipster bars and Manufaktura. Hostels cluster within five minutes of Piotrkowska, the 4.2km pedestrianized spine that runs through downtown — eight quality properties from the airport-area Hostel Umed (a real hospital floor) to the design-focused Chill Inn off Plac Wolności. Half the price of Krakow or Warsaw, with night-bus access to both for short stayers.

Best Hostels in Łódź
8 handpicked hostels in Łódź, sorted by traveler rating.
Hostel Umed
Hostel Umed sits on the 13th floor of a hospital on the Łódź Medical University (UMed) campus in Widzew, east Łódź. 526 reviews at a remarkable 9.4 average — the highest of any hostel on Hostelpedia for Łódź. Yes, it's literally a hospital. No, you do not hear ambulances, as Polish reviewer Michal confirmed.
Chill Inn
Chill Inn is the design-led private-student-dorm hostel — a converted university residence on 6 Sierpnia street that serves as a hostel outside the academic year. 41 reviews, 9.2 average, with a private 7th-floor city-view terrace that's the talk of every reviewer who used it.
Flamingo Centrum
Flamingo Centrum is the best mid-price hostel in central Łódź — Sienkiewicza 67, 5 min walk to Piotrkowska, 4th-floor walk-up (no elevator) with a coffee machine in the shared kitchen and motivation tiles on every stairwell. 759 reviews at 9.0, couples score 9.6.
Hostel H360 (formerly Hotelik Relax)
Hostel H360 sits at Piotrkowska 192, the address most travelers would actually pick if they knew Łódź — mid-spine, opposite OFF Piotrkowska's bar courtyards, set into a quiet inner yard so the rooms stay silent. 1,419 reviews at 8.2 makes it the busiest mid-tier hostel on the street.
GO Hostel Rewolucji
GO Hostel Rewolucji is the family-run dorm option for backpackers on a Polish overnight, 8 min walk from Łódź Fabryczna train station and 10 min from Piotrkowska. 1,230 reviews at 7.7 — and a notably warm front desk that recurs in reviews by name.
FRESCO Suite and Rooms
FRESCO Suite and Rooms is the kitchenette-in-every-room option: 124 reviews, 7.7 rating, pet-friendly, 4 min walk from Piotrkowska Street and right beside the Łódź Philharmonic. The trick to finding it — the front door has no Fresco sign.
Room Hostel Piotrkowska
Room Hostel Piotrkowska sits at number 60 on Łódź's main pedestrian street, hidden at the back of an inner courtyard with a makeshift entrance that genuinely confuses first-timers. Once inside, it's a clean, quiet hostel for travelers who want central Piotrkowska without paying mid-tier hotel prices.
Boutique Hostel
Boutique Hostel sits south of the city center near Łódź's International Fair grounds and the Politechnika university campus, with 1,446 reviews — the busiest review count of any Łódź hostel. Cheap, clean, free parking, but a 20-minute walk from central Piotrkowska, not the 5-minute claim some descriptions make.
