Friendly people with good advice, clean place, breakfast included, was able to buy tours from there. It is not right in the centre but there are simple cheap transport links or an easy 30-minute walk which is what I did. Just off a road with a nice view of the river. Come to think of it, the only gripe I... More

A friend of mine and I decided to spend part of our spring break in Krakow and I wish we could have stayed a week longer! The hostess, Aga, is so welcoming and fun. She is this wonderful spunky woman and knows Krakow very well. She spent every evening with us helping plan the next day's adventures and was very... More

My friend and I only stayed here for 3 nights, but I can honestly say that it was one of my favorite hostel experiences. Aga, the hostess is extremely friendly, and can offer some excellent insider advice to help you make the best of your time in Krakow. Bring warm jammies, because it does get a little chilly at night.... More

Stayed here in 2008 with some paranormal investigators. A friendly atmosphere. Clean and fresh and lovely breakfasts. Would go there again. Just found this app hence I'm backfilling places I've stayed before. Would recommend to anyone going to Krakow. Colin

Aga (the host) was extremely helpful and very friendly. She helped plan my stay so I had the best use of the very limited time I had in Krakow. I was very appreciative of that. I stayed in a single room. The room was clean and tidy. Bed was comfortable, but the pillow was too soft. But to be fair,... More

I stayed here in September 2012. It was my first visit to Krakow and staying in "Elephant on the moon" made a great experience. Aga is fantastic and makes you feel at home away from home. It started when making the reservation, Aga was very helpful and responded quickly. The hostel is very clean. The breakfast is plenty and the... More
