I liked that the bathrooms were private bathrooms even though the rooms were shared so I could have privacy without having to pay for a private bedroom

Room and bathroom were both very clean. Hosts were both very nice and got very concern when I said I was cold in my room. Location was actually pretty good. Its not super close to public transport but a nice walk, even the 15mins to old town. I arrived at night and had to walk about 22mins from the railway station, but Krakow is quite lit so you feel safe even walking through the park at night. (there were not that much cobblestone road from railway station to hostel, so that really helped with the suitcase)

Fairly clean in the common areas and floors, a unpleasant smell was constantly in the hostel. My bed duvet had brown stain on it. Room was quite cold, just a little electric heater which was not enough for the size pf the room.
Location is good, just 10 mins walk to the old town.

“I'm staying here if I visit Kraków again”

Really nice, clean and cosy hostel with outstanding hospitality from the staff, the lady at the reception gave me amazing tips on where to go. Wifi and heating in the room work perfectly, bathrooms are equipped with hairdryer, there's space in the kitchen to store your food, utensils are enough to cook a meal on the fully-functioning stove top. My bed was really comfortable and the blankets provided are really warm, plus each bed has its own light. Also, the curtains in the lower beds are a huge bonus to privacy. I met a really fun and clever student and spent a wonderful last evening in Kraków. Tusen takk for den fantastiske opplevelsen.

“Awesome hostel, super clean and comfortable, nice staff”
- • Leisure trip

Check-out at 10 am is quite early. Also, you cannot access the common areas once you've check out. Reception is not open 24/7.
From my experience, Polish hostels usually exceed expectations and this one was not an exception. Really amazing what you get for the low price paid: comfortable beds with curtains for more privacy, light and electric socket right next to your bed, locker with a built-in lock, amazingly clean bathrooms, even a hairdryer. Wifi worked well, the hostel is quiet, and the staff are very nice even though their English is limited. I was unhappy having an upper bunk bed, and the lady automatically offered me a lower bed the next day once it became available! I could not believe my ears. Bravo and keep doing your good job.

“Too old for hostel accommodation!!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
The office staff were great when they responded. Even when the office was open, office staff remained behind a locked door, and they rarely responded to the bell. On three separate occasions my bell ringing and and door knocking went unanswered! On my last morning there, I had been out to get a coffee, as there are no coffee facilities available before 8am, and there were people trying to get in from the street. Their attempts to gain the attention of office staff seemed futile. We did not have a common language, and they just followed me into the building.
I didn’t like very much about it!! But I do think this is my own fault... I thought I had booked a self contained apartment, when in actual fact I had not. 20 years ago a hostel room would have been completely fine, now I have different standards! The room was comfortable enough, but I have not slept on a plastic sheet since I was a small child.

Could do with more toilets/showers.
The lady on reception was really lovely and friendly. Cleanliness very good for a hostel. Cleaned regularly. Excellent value for money. In the room I was in, the beds on bottom bunk had privacy curtains. Each bed had it's own light and socket. Convenience shop only 2 mins walk away. Close to bus stop for airport (5 mins walk), bus 208. Definitely recommend this hostel.

Around 15 people should share two bathrooms. It wasn‘t crowded when I stayed but because of many people sharing bathroom, it wasn‘t that much clean.
It was located in quite safe place and 20 minutes walk from central station. Linen and bed was clean.

The sales pitch for tours the moment I walked in was a bit much. At least let me check in before trying to sell me a pub crawl.
It’s an average property with good staff in a great location. Minutes to the old town and the Galeria Mall, where I did most of my eating and shopping. Plus, the train station is connected.
