I stayed here on a recommendation and it proved right. The hostel is based in a quiet street not far from the old square and the bus and train station. The room (a double) was clean and functional for a sightseeing holiday & the showers were great with hot water at all times . The breakfast was good value for... More

I stayed at this place for a week.I was in a windowless room which was depressing to say the least.The kitchen isnt do not think you are going to cook here you are not. I asked if I could toast my slice of bread looked at as though I had asked for something unknown. On the face this place sounds... More

Great location just a few minute walk from the main square but on a quiet street. Rooms were clean. Each room has a shower and bathroom. Staff were friendly. Breakfast is included in the price. Selection of breads, cereal, tea, coffee. Great value for money.

The city hostel is located right in the city centre, in a nice area near the city's theatre, 5mins walk from the main square. The hostel was clean, our rooms were spacious - especially for a hostel - and, very important when it's freezing 10 degrees outside, very well heated. The staff was very helpful and patient, even when trying... More

We stayed here for 4 nights. Clean with everything you need for a short stay. Breakfast simple but great when on a budget! Only things that we would comment on is that we had no heating in our room and the walls are very thin so we could hear the neighbours! Sarah & Steph

This hostel is well located in Krakow and is a stones throw from the main square. I stayed in a 3 person room, which had a private en-suite. The place was clean and tidy and recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay in Krakow on a budget. As this is a hostel, you will get large groups staying,... More

I came here exhausted, with way too little sleep having a bit trouble to find the place (my bad). Upon arrival I learned something went wrong with my reservation through Expedia. I was supposed to get a 1 person room and instead got registered for a 11 person dorm. Quite shocking but the lady at the front desk was so... More

Our stay in the hostel was excellent. The room was basic, but clean, and the staff were extremely friendly. We arrived early but they allowed us to leave our bags and freshen up before checking in. The location is excellent, a three minute walk to the main attractions of the old town. It took us about 5 minutes to travel... More
