Great budget stay in Krakow
Lovely, welcoming hostel in the Kazimierz district. Well situated for lots of good bars and restaurants. The hostel is clean, bright and comfortable and the comms before arrival to arrange airport transport and self check-in was top notch. Have stayed before and will stay again! Great value

An excellent hostel- actually much closer to a hotel. I had a wonderful stay. Great breakfast and very helpful staff. It was a bit of a walk to the Old Town, but the area was very quiet with restaurants and stores close by.

Great stay!
I'm glad I stayed here in Krakow, this was in a good location (a short walk from the Old Town) and it was very clean and secure. I appreciated the free tea/coffee and nearby restaurants/shops, and helpful staff. Comfortable, good night sleep! One thing I would say is it's not a social place but if you're not looking for that, or if you're with friends/family, not a problem!

Perfect
Very comfy beds. Breakfast was good. Easy to get everywhere as near a tram stop to the old town and a few minutes walk to all the bars and restaurants in Kazimierz. There’s also a shop at the end of the street which is helpful for supplies and the garden was lovely especially in the sunny weather we had.

Mid-range hostel in quiet area of the city
Mid-range hostel in quiet area of the city. Hostel itself was quiet, newly decorated and fairly clean. We booked a double room with shared bathroom, bed provided was very small, a 1 and a half sized single rather than a double, even though the room was fairly spacious - they even had to put small pillows on to make it look like a double, and I've stayed in bigger singles in American hotels. The hostel is also about a 15-20 minute walk from the central square, and not near too many restaurants, although there is a 'street food' area about a 10 minute walk away. The hostel did not provide a lot of information about facilities near by, a map with a few points on it, but it was not very user friendly. Overall, a reasonable hostel.

Family trip with small child
Very helpful staff, good breakfast, centrally located near restaurants, groceries stores, and transit lines as well as the historical sites of Kazimierz. Our bus was quite delayed, so it was helpful that the reception was open 24 hours, and the staff helped us get extra sheets, pillows to make the chair bed into a perfect place for our small child to sleep.

Amazing hostel!
I stopped here with my girlfriend about a week ago and what a great stay we had. I have never wrote a review for a hostel that I've stayed at before but because we had such a great stay I thought I would. The rooms were immaculately clean, along with the bathrooms and kitchen! We stayed in a double bed in the bottom floor, there were 3 bathrooms with showers outside our room so we had our own bathroom. Again immaculately clean. The hostel is situated 7 mins tram away from the city, the tram is Right outside the hostel which is ideal. Staff very friendly and helpful! The hostel is great value for money with us only pay £20 per night! I would definatley come back again. Thanks for a great stay!!

The hostel is incredibly noisy
The hostel offers separate rooms with private bathrooms. I thought this would enable me to get some rest. Unfortunately the hostel was extremely noisy until about 2am every night. The hostel has no sound proofing and people in other rooms sound like they are in the same room. The doors slam and make a loud bang and the staff do not ask people to be quiet when they are screaming and running around in the corridors. I understand that some noise is inevitable to reasonabe hours (say 11pm) but this racket going on to early hours of the morning was unacceptable. I also had a three day stay and my room was not cleaned once. All in all it was a but dirty.

Fantastic hostel
We stayed for 4 nights (stayed on recommendation from daughter). Staff very helpful and friendly. Spotlessly clean. Fantastic base to stay. Easy walk into main square 10 mins. Short walk schindlerrs museum. Not a fancy place but a good/honest hostel. Kitchen facilities good. Free tea and coffee ( the price of this can add up when travelling)

Lovely Stay
Excellent shower facilities, plenty of toilets, sinks etc in this pleasant hostel. Room itself was charming. What I liked is that they had a quiet policy after 10pm which for us was great because we went to Krakow for sight seeing. Also the kitchen area is lovely and big, we could help ourselves to tea and coffee 24hrs a day! Decent breakfast too. Considering what we paid, this was ideal for us.
