Nice and cozy and clean hostel in the Jewish Quarter, with plenty of restaurants, pubs, cafes, stores and pharmacies around. I stayed in the room with private bathroom and it had everything I needed.

Yacoub Jordan

Good breakfast. They added hard-boiled eggs after I asked if they had hard-boiled eggs; very classy!

Marc Canada

Good price, good location(bit far away from town center), but you don't need town center every day. Shops like Zabka and Carefour express behind corner till 23:00 open. 5 minutes away you can reach river with nice bridge, a lot coffees/ picerias in Jewish qwartal .

Lovely great value room, nice decor, staff were kind, and responsive with communications etc, beautiful location in Jewish Quarter, free tea/coffee a bonus. Would very much recommend this beautiful tranquil hostel :)

Max United Kingdom

The receptionists (2) were very friendly, clean and correct. De breakfast room was constantly cleaned and desinfected by the receptionists. They also delivered my breakfast on time, I never had to wait. The Hostel is very clean, good and in a safe neighborhood. The Secret Garden hostel has a high service level. The location Kazimierz is great, on walking distance from the Old Town, Plac Nowy, Podgorze (where Schindler's factory is located). The Hostel can be reached by tram 13, (from Central Station/Teatr Slowackiego, get out at Plac Wolnica.
