The owner is delightful, the property is beautifully kept. A wonderful place to stay in Krakow. The only drawback is that it is a bit removed from the city center (which can be nice as it is very quiet). Probably a 7-10 min walk to the tram station, so not bad. Overall, I would highly recommend.

Hard to sleep in the hostel, Light coming out in the morning, and thin walls, i could listen the noise from downstairs easily, so without ear plugs and a cover eye mask, is difficult to sleep from 7 am onwards. Hostel Far from the center, difficult to find as well, and the price was too expensive for such a far away hostel. you can find easily better options in the center of the city

Agi is the sweetest person and made this hostel the best one I have ever been to in Europe. She was so helpful with everything and made me feel at home in this hostel. The hostel itself is also amazing and very clean. BOOK HERE!

Awesome hostel, friendly host, great breakfast. This place is not for the party animal but its perfect if you need a bit of peace and quiet. it feels more like crashing at a mates pad than staying in a backpackers.

such a homely and comfortable hostel with lots of artistic and friendly features like noticeboards and attractive wall hangings that would make any traveller (plus bike) feel welcome. Nothing too much trouble for Agi and magda, bus /tram times, tours, online help, etc. Thanks both of you. Jenny, 54 cycling through Europe.

this place is beautiful, peaceful, and so clean. The host is so nice, willing to help out with anything from explaining tourist information to helping me look for student housing in Krakow for during my studies. It is about 20 minutes walking from the center in a very peaceful location. Breakfast is great too.

The hostel ( a private home ) is located some 150m away from the last tram 1 or 2 stop. I stayed in the Tramp room, with a good view and balcony for 2 nights, both of which I slept in soundly. The host is a pleasant lady and was flexible enough to prepare an earlier breakfast to accomodate my rather busy schedule & print my boarding pass. The place is very clean and a credit to the host. I had issues with internet connectivity, the signal of which could not reach upstairs - small issue.

A clean friendly place in a quiet location about 2km from the old town centre. A 7min walk to the tram line and Trams 1 or 2 will take you to the city centre in 10min. Breakfast was sumptuous and lovingly laid out on an oak dining table! I had a single room which was very comfortable with proper curtains and blinds. Bathroom and showers were great, 2 towels free of charge. Good common room. Security was good. I will come back again!

Peaceful location not far from the city centre, that offers you the chance to have a pleasent walk along the river. The staff is kind, helpful, warm, always available, funny. It seems to be in your family. They have good taste: in fact the hostel has characteristic and colorful furniture and offers an easy-going atmosphere.

Fantastic staff, great rooms. Quick to get to with the tram or a nice walk along the river and in a quiet residential area. Very comfortable and clean, a balcony with sun, and with only 14 beds, you can get to know everyone. I loved it here and would definitely go back.

I love this place. Great staff, location, best hostel breakfast ever. Near the city center, but grants you the piece and quiet of a suburb. I strongly recommend it!!

Brilliant hosts - talkative, friendly and very tolerant of our late night arrival. The decor / themes of the rooms were charming, and the homely, convivial atmosphere at the breakfast table was unlike other hostels we visited!
