If you’re arriving by:
TRAIN
To those coming to the hostel from the Central Train Station (Warszawa Centralna) we recommend a short walk. It shouldn’t take you more than 15 minutes and will allow you to see some of the city in the first minutes of your stay.
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) 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.
If you decide to use public transportation, take one of these buses:
- #525, 519, 505, 131 from the bus stop behind the main hall of Centralna Station and get out on the stop called “Pl. Konstytucji”.
OR
- #505, 501 from bus stop opposite Centralna Station, just next to Marriott Hotel and get out on second stop called “Pl. Konstytucji”
Once you are on Pl. Konstytucji locate the KFC restaurant on corner of Marszalkowska and Piekna streets. Walk along Piekna about 50 meters, you should see a facade of a light pink building with Nathan’s Villa Hostel billboard on it. Our hostel is in the courtyard of that building.

- bus # 523 from bus stop called : “01. Al. Jerozolimskie” / and get out on “Metro Politechnika” bus stop. From here walk along Waryńskiego Street untill you reach Konstytucji Square (about 5-7 minutes)
- bus # 517 going towards City Center, get of on a stop called “Dworzec Centralny” (opposite Central Railway Station) and take a bus # 501 from the same stop. Get out on “Pl. Konstytucji” bus stop.
Once you are on Pl. Konstytucji locate the KFC restaurant on corner of Marszalkowska and Piekna streets. Walk along Piekna about 50 meters, you should see a facade of a light pink building with Nathan’s Villa Hostel billboard on it. Our hostel is in the courtyard of that building.
AIR
Getting from the Airport is also not difficult. Just take bus:
- #175 get out on “Raszyńksa” stop and change into tram n# 35. Get off on “Pl. Konstytucji ” stop.
You can also take #175 all the way to the City Centre, get off on “Centrum” sop and follow our walking directions: walk along Marszałkowska street (10 minutes)towards Pl. Konstytucji.
OR

Armii Ludowej” bus stop on Metro Politechnika, then change to busses #101, 405, 501, 502, 505, 514, 515, 519, 520, 522, 524 or 525 (on the opposite side of the street crossing, next to the subway station; bus stop is called “Warynskiego”), get out at the next stop called “Plac Konstytucji”
Once you are on Pl. Konstytucji locate the KFC restaurant on corner of Marszalkowska and Piekna streets. Walk along Piekna about 50 meters, you should see a facade of a light pink building with Nathan’s Villa Hostel billboard on it. Our hostel is in the courtyard of that building.
TAXI
A taxi ride from Central Station should not be expensive, not more than 15 Zloty / about 4-5 euros / However taking a taxi from the airport and Dworzec Zachodni will be around 25-30 zloty.
Each taxi has prices displayed on passengers doors. Regular prices should be between 1,40- 2,40 zloty per kilometer. Do not trust more expensive ones, you can end up paying a small fortune for a ride!
We do suggest you take public transport. It is very convenient and much cheaper. But if you want to take a taxi the best way is to call- # +48 19623- that’s HALO OK TAXI, all their drivers know where the Hostel is situated
