There is just one bathroom for the hole hostel with two toilets, two showers and one sink and it gets dirty very quick. Bring flipflops for the shower! In the beds, the sheets are short and you touch the matress. The main entrance is weird: It's dark, dirty, and smelly. I think they should improve it immediatelly!

The third time i have stayed at the hostel in a little over a year: definitely my first choice for Krakow , but one of my favorites anywhere. The staff are great, my only criticism is that I wish they were more pro-active in deterring noise at night: the city centre is two minutes away if people want to make noise late. This is a quibble- a great hostel.

General, every thing is ok with that price. However, one thing should be improved: the smell in the entrance of block is terrible. I mean the smell is from doves.

In spite of the problems I had with Krakow, this hostel is a quality place to stay. Each room has lockers, breakfast is included with the price. Also -- most surprisingly -- every bed has a plug!! Unheard of in hostel circles! I met plenty of people here - whether I wanted to or not. The location is very difficult to find (I circled back several times the first night) Just a tip: the door is marked with a small index card-sized bumper sticker.

It was OK! It is really cheap, so you can't expect nothing more, but it was quite OK! Really good breakfast, the staff looks like a little bit religious people, but they are really nice and they can suggest you thing to do or where going to eat! the bathroom are separated by gender! the bed are in tower by 3, so it was the highest beds that I have seen.

Great clean hostel with nice staff, room was basic but we knew it would be for the price Brilliant location as its under a 5 minute walk to the market square and about 10 min walk to train station Highly recommend if your saving money for activities or just passing through Krakow

Unfortunatly for us we were there with a big group with kids running around till midnigth... Other than that the hostel was ok! They have 3 tory high beds so if you don't want to be on the top one, get there early since you choose your bed!

Everything was quite alright for a hostel of this price. Only drawback was the lack of heating, which made the room feel really cold since it was close to 0 degrees outside.

We had a pleasant stay at this hostel and met many friends' it was generally clean and very comfortable to stay at, and the location is excellent just a short walk to the central market! However the showers were abit troublesome. The hot water is limited and if someone has just taken a shower before you, you might suddenly find yourself having to bathe in ice cold water!!

This was a great hostel for the money. It was right near the historical center of Kraków and well connected to a bunch of bus and tram lines. It wasn't exactly the most in-your-face, kick-ass backpacker hostel, and I would have liked more activities. However, it's tough to argue with less than 9 euros a night. I would recommend this joint if you want a chilled-out place to stay for a few nights, but not necessarily if you want to have raging activities planned for you.

Free breakfast is great, keep it like that! Whenever you get a hot shower or a cold one is a mistery, but if lucky it does get very hot! Great and spacious common area, with screen projector and couches!
