The location was excellent. It’s so close to Market Square that I could hear the bells and bugle every hour. Although there’s a disco club downstairs, I couldn’t hear any noise from the club. The staff are also friendly and helpful. The free breakfast every morning was simple but it was nice to not have to look for breakfast.

The hostel is located in the old town area, it was easy to get anywhere, new furniture in the bathroom (we stayed in a separate room for 2 people). All the staff we met spoke English. For the one-night stay, it's a great place. The prices are reasonable.

Loved my experience on a solo trip to Norway and this hostel. The location is superb! The bed was comfortable with it's personal lighting and charging point. They also had free lockers (no need padlock) that you can use and I liked this feature best! They have everything necessary.

The staff were super friendly and informative. The location itself, right near the city center was easy to navigate too. Cleanliness of the facility was top-notch as well.

“Beautiful center and a cozy balcony.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights
Everyone has already written about this. Therefore, these are not the things that disappointed. They are known. You either take them and relax, or you are looking for something else. 1. You need to climb the stairs to the 3rd floor (no elevator). 2. It can be noisy (it all depends on the day of the week and season).
1. Great location. The very center. 2. Very cozy balcony overlooking the courtyard. 3. Several toilets and shower rooms - there were no queues. 4. Good bed. 5. The bedding is already made up. 6. There are storage lockers. 7. Convenient checkout time. 8. Pleasant staff. 9. The kitchen is clean. There are necessary items for cooking, free tea and coffee, a modest breakfast is included in the price. 10. At the same time, everyone has a very low cost.

I liked everything. The hostel is very big and spacious. A lot of space. Nice and clean. Very fresh air. Quiet. Comparing to other hostels 10/10. Meeting all the standards. Maybe In the shower I would like to have some kind of bathroom mat on the floor😃
My stay in hostel was very comfortable. I really enjoy it. The Staff was very proffesional and helpfull. During the stay Jędrzej took care over the hostel. He was very helpfull and caring giving as many information as it possible. Also he maintained good service during the day. If I will visit Cracow again I would definitely book Intro Hostel☕🙂🌟🌤
