GO Hostel Rewolucji
Family-run dorm hostel 8 min walk from Łódź Fabryczna — the cheapest comfortable bed in Łódź at €13 a night, value-for-money is the headline
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.
GO Hostel Rewolucji sits north-east of Piotrkowska on ul. Rewolucji 1905r., a quiet residential stretch named for the 1905 Polish revolt against Russian rule. It's the closest quality hostel to Łódź Fabryczna train station — 8 min walk through the underground pedestrian tunnel — making it the default arrival for backpackers off the Warsaw 1h20 train who don't want to drag a backpack through the city center.
The headline is value: €13 dorm beds undercut almost everything in Lodz, and 1,230 reviewers consistently call out the family-run feel. Italian reviewer Andrea: "the value for money is among the best in Lodz". The Chinese reviewer 'S' tells a story about the red-haired front-desk woman noticing she had a cold and bringing tea — the kind of moment that doesn't happen at chain hostels.
Reality check on the dorms: rooms are small for the bed count, the 10-bed mixed dorm specifically has had door-latch issues that made solo female reviewer Maria uncomfortable, and the building's narrow staircases make luggage logistics annoying. Sleeping pattern: get the 4-bed female dorm if you want safety + space, the 6-bed mixed for social-but-not-chaotic, skip the 10-bed mixed unless price is the only factor.
Facilities are basic but functional: shared kitchen with stove and fridge for proper cooking, washing machine, outdoor seating area for summer evenings, free Wi-Fi, lockers in every dorm. No bar or events — the social happens in the kitchen and the courtyard. For the bar circuit, walk 10 min to OFF Piotrkowska or take the night-bus.

“A great hostel, clean and well-maintained. The value for money is among the best in Lodz if you're visiting the city. It's a family-run hostel.”
“What touched me most was the kindness of the red-haired lady at the reception. She noticed I might have a cold and asked if I was OK. The front door and staircase can make luggage difficult, but it was fine for me.”
“The staff were lovely and friendly, the location was close to attractions, place was clean, beds were comfy, the shower was private. As a solo young woman in the 10-bed mixed dormitory I didn't feel 100% comfortable because the dorm doors didn't shut all the time.”
