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.

Liked: Cleanliness
Ich war vollauf zufrieden, es war extremst sauber und das Personal war derart freundlich! Als ich völlig übermüdet nach einer langen Nacht dort ankam, machten sie es sogar möglich, dass ich etwas früher Einchecken konnte. Das Zimmer war groß und schön! Matratzen jetzt nicht so der Knaller, ziemlich dünn, aber kann man mit leben wenn man nicht grad rückenprobleme o.ä. hat. Lage hat mir gut gefallen, weil es etwas außerhalb des ganzen Trubels ist u man aber innerhalb von 2 fussminuten in Kazimierz ist mit all seinen Cafés etc. Zum „Zentrum“ (Altstadt) ist es etwas weiter, ich bin alles gelaufen, aber es sind schon so 20 Minuten. Das einzige: ich würde Oropax mitbringen, die Wände sind extrem hellhörig. Alles in allem top!

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!

Hôtel de charme accueillant et sympathique

Bien que mis dans la catégorie des auberges de jeunesse, cet établissement n'a rien à envier à des hôtels mieux classés, confort, calme, propreté... Seul inconvénient, le parking payant et très surveillé dans la rue devant l'hôtel équipé d' un horodateur non prévu pour des touristes temps de stationnement et moyen de paiement incompatible pour un non-polonais.

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.

Um hostel de qualidade, bem localizado

Experiência de forma geral agradável. Localização boa, perto do quartel Judaico e do antigo gueto. 15 minutos a pé do centro medieval. O quarto estava limpo e bem apresentado, camas confortáveis, ambiente acolhedor. Porém, o isolamento acústico não é grande coisa.. Supermercados abertos 24h perto, e paragem de eléctrico na rua principal, para quem quer chegar à estação central, ou até ao centro.

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!!

Très bien !

Hôtel impeccable, nickel, équipements au top Le personnel est disponible et souriant. Les chambres sont très bien entretenues et très propres. La cuisine avec frigo, cafetière, bouilloire,... à disposition est pratique Tout ceci pour un prix très attractif ! Le petit bémol sur le fait que les chambres ne soient pas faites tous les jours et sur la situation un peu excentrée, même si des commerces, restaurants sont tout proches, il faut un moyen de transport pour accéder aux lieux à visiter
