Incepcja Hostel

Wroclaw

We had a holiday apartment, for 10 days no key to the garbage the apartment was not clean in a day we had 12 hours no electricity, but it was very central and quiet.

Housing for holidays

Booked a room here last-minute to spend a second night in Wrocław before a flight. At first I wasn’t sure whether we got scammed - the building was not marked, the doors were locked, the phone number online didn’t answer, and we received no check-in instructions. The local business next door had never even heard of Incepcja, which was a bad sign. We ended up asking some locals for help and they couldn’t figure it out either. 

We eventually received an SMS text sometime around 21:00. It had instructions, but they were difficult to interpret. Once we got through the main entrance, which was padlocked, there were two more coded doors to navigate through. 

For 59zł a night, the room was adequate, I guess. Outlets, clean sheets, fine. Bathroom was clean. The bed was actually painful to lie down on - the box springs were almost protruding from the mattress, digging into my shoulder blade. I’ve slept on some pretty unpleasant surfaces while traveling, and this bed was memorably terrible. 

There are other hostels in the area for a similar price point. Corner hostel and Absynt hostel are two competitors that I’ve had positive experiences with in Wrocław. 

Dodgy for sure

The address of the house is beautiful, but all the rest is unfortunate. By the morning of the stay I was very upset, although nothing predicted it. The hostel is in a great location, the settlement is a paradise for sociopaths: you just get a text message with the code of the door, and you leave the money in the room. But because of this in the slightest of problems, you just don't turn to anyone. Connecting to the internet never worked: there were no password instructions in the room, nor on the first floor. The bathroom was just on the third floor, with a minimum of water.

The location is great, the rest is horror.

Dodgy place. The websites states one address and then then a different (less convenient) location is sent my a text message , with a weird check in system (no reception service). The room smell like yesterday's party- strong smell of cigarettes in the room (no smoke detectors). No intimacy at all- common facilities and you can hear every breath from other guests who are staying next door. Locks are not working properly (room nr.2) so also noise of slamming doors. Too hot rooms with no regulation of heaters which- together with the smell of cigarettes makes the stay unbearable.  The bed lamp is broken, small blankets, no towels...Should I continue? TO BE AVOIDED!

TO BE AVOIDED

Pluses: great (best possible) location, just 5 minutes walk from the opera; quietness of the rooms, the room area, no neighbors behind the wall (just one room per floor), moderate price (as for Wrocław), some additional equipment downstairs (microwave, some cups, kettle etc.).
Minuses: no reception, nobody to see there (the only contact is per phone), strange payment method (you pay by inserting the money into a wooden box located in each room(!!!), an attraction in itself), dripping water in the bath (mentioned already in previous reviews this, nobody seems to care).

Great potential with some flaws

When we arrived at the hotel at the time we were told there was no one to receive us. When two people approached us who were somewhat suspicious and saw that we were not being contacted, they asked for money to help us. We left, called on the phone and were told that they were waiting for us. We returned and had to pull down the door for someone to open us. This was done by a guest who communicated with the owner. We were never given the WiFi password, despite texting and email to the owner (he never responded). We never saw anyone responsible for the place.
