Poets' Corner Hostel

Heavenly rooms flooded with natural light, comfortable beds and superb friendly professional staff. The stairs are no big deal.and the views of the city and mountains and quiet atmosphere are well worth the steps up compared to a street level room.

Stayed here for 3 nights. From the very beginning felt welcome in the place by the staff who were so friendly and helpful. it is a very small and cozy hostel, the homey feeling is guaranteed! Location is also fantastic, super close to the old town (3-4 minutes walk to the upper square!). You will not feel lonely here as the place is small (yet has a nice kitchen and common area) so making friends and hanging out for a drink is easy! Overall a charming hostel which I'd absolutely recommend to anybody traveling to Olomouc!

I booked only for one night and I stayed 3... Such a great place to live. The hostel is friendly and welcoming. The staff is Amazing. I really recommand it.Moreover, I didn't know Olomouc, and I'm really happy to have spend few days here. City center is beautiful, museums, Church.... Have a break to Olomouc.

I liked the atmosphere of this place, but it doesn't need to fit everyone's expectation. The location is good, and the same goes for the hospitality of the hostel. Staff was very nice, with perfect English, and willing to help. From the point of me being a guest, I can not complain. If you like this old style, I believe you might enjoy your stay at this place.As I was visiting my friend who worked as volunteer at the hostel at the time of my visit, I witnessed my friend being fired for some lame reason. He was accused of stealing money without any proof and this whole thing looks more like an excuse. I don't like this approach, as I work myself and I wouldn't like anyone I work for to treat me this way.EDIT: Thank you for additional information, Ian and The Poets. I find your answer interesting, as it gives me another point of view. But it was also offensive towards me at first, as you were referring to me as Mathiue's ex-girlfriend every time you addressed me or talk about Mathieu in your response. Thank you for correcting it. The original response pointed to the other topic as the one that was initially my point, which was treatment of the employees at the hostel. I have no such history with Mathieu and I consider myself as neutral observer of the whole situation on Sunday, and your reaction to my review.

We had an amazing time here. Ian, the host, was super nice and even invited us to a traditional Czech Christmas dinner! (Christmas hedgehog included...ask about the Christmas hedgehog :) ). We definitely plan to come back to Olomouc and already know where we are staying. 10/10 recommend for either solo travellers or couples!

One of my favourite hostels in the Czech Republic. This is a really welcoming, relaxed and homely place. The staff go out of their way to make sure that you get the most of out of your time in Olomouc. Kevin's recommendations were all spot on. I've just returned from my third visit. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

One of the best hostels I stayed in. Great location and facilities. The place is cozy, yet social. The owner Ian is incredibly friendly and helpful. Recommended!

Loved the laid back, mellow, and homelike vibe of Poet's Corner. Mind you we were visiting during the off season but new owner Ian and his family run a great place. The beds were comfortable and the hostel is centrally located. Would stay there again for sure.
