Upon arriving at the hostel I was given a free upgrade to their studio apartment. I had booked a private room with a private bathroom, so this was quite an upgrade! I was informed they had a large group staying and that was the reason behind the upgrade. The studio apartment was actually located about 3 minutes down the road in a separate building. I would absolutely 100% recommend paying the extra money for the studio (given free upgrades aren't exactly likely). The apartment had a bathroom with washing machine, kitchen, TV an bed. Everything was really quaint and there was a lot of charm. The place was really clean, well maintained and relatively quiet. There is a tramline on the street right below, but this did not bother me at all. The river and park is just a short walk away which was really lovely in the evenings as the sun was setting. Wawel Castle, the Old Town and Krakow Park were all within 15-20 minutes walking distance, so I thought the location was very good. I would absolutely stay here again, although this time I think I would just book the Studio Apartment for sure because it was so good!!

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.
