Syed Poland

The location is perfect for getting around the city. The shared bathrooms were relatively clean. The wifi connection in my room was excellent.

Ma Poland

Everything was perfect. Super nice and helpful receptionist, great new bathrooms and toilets, room and common areas newly renovated and nicely decorated, good (and free!) coffee :D awesome garden in a shade (perfect place for such hot days as today!) with sockets so I could plug in my laptop and work there for several hours. I won't even consider any other place when next time in Kraków.

Takashi Japan

Huge thanks to receptionist, who answered to me and made tones of corrections in Booking because of my faults. Really great place, great location!

Valeriia Ukraine

The location was great close to main square. The room was comfortable and big enough for the short stay. Although Bathroom was shared it was just next door to the bedroom. TV was there and working which was a bonus. Entrance to the building was independent and easy to access. People very kind and approachable.
