It may be even better if something can be done about the bathroom doors :)

The best part of GlobArt is the location. The hostel is a short walk from the main train station, it's at the entrance to old town Krakow with plenty of places to eat, drink, and shop. For the most part everything else is pretty average with the exception of the staff who are helpful and friendly. The hostel has a deal with a local tour company who comes right to the hostel to pick you up for tours of Auschwitz or the salt mine.

Real hostel atmosphere! The staff was very hepful and kind and with a great imagition. We were there for the new year's eve and they put ballons on the doors of every room with greetings in the languages of the people who were in those rooms. The bathroom and the rooms were very clean but there is no kitchen. You can just prepare a tea and put your things into the fridge. The view from the common room was wonderful!

Perfect location, easy walk to everything. Helpful and friendly staff. Good security, you must get buzzed in and there is 24hr staff. No kitchen, but you get a nice free breakfast and there is grocery store right next door. I was there over New Year's and it was perfect. Young, hip, and vibrant. Couldn't ask for more, would stay there again and recommend it to anyone headed to Krakow. No reason to go anywhere else.

We loved it. It´s very clean, well located, the staff was very nice, the quality/price is excellent for travellers or even for a family for some days. We liked the decoration, but they should by a toast maker!! :-)

I booked room with double bed week and a half before going there,in the page was written they had 2 rooms available of this type when I booked.The room was with 2 separated beds.We arrived and they gave us the room closed to the reception,the walls are of "paper"! We were in the room and since 23:00 there was some drunk polish guy talking, he was trying to score with the receptionist. At 1 a.m. I asked to the RECEPTIONIST to stop disturbing us cause we were trying to slepp. Not happy at all.

Pretty average hostel. The location is great though since its so close to Krakow's train station. Its also within walking distance to Old Town (Stare Miastro). They also do laundry here for a good price. There is a super market right across the street although not many restaurants. A good place to stay if you are visiting Krakow because of the price, location, and services. Would recommend to personal friends as well.

What can I say about Globart hostel, it was truly my home away from home. This hostel has everything, excellent staff, clean rooms and beds, free internet access, free laundry, and free breakfast. It is also in a great location right next to the city center. I wouldn't change anything about it. I would definitely recommend this hostel and would like to thank the staff for making my stay in Kraków so pleasant and comfortable. Excellent hostel!

Excellent location on the edge of the old town and a short walk from the train station. Brilliant staff who speak perfect English. Adequate breakfast too. We were booked into a dorm but were upgraded to a private room due to overbooking, which was a nice touch. Only issue is that the walls are very thin and as the hostel was over-ran with inconsiderate Spanish students, who insisted on ringing the doorbell and banging doors, we heard it all and were rather irritated. Still would recommend though

After 11 months of travel, this has been one of our favourite hostels so far. Awesome & friendly staff, big & spacious dorm rooms, free wifi, free coffee and tea 24/7. The place was spotless. Yes there is only 2 toilets and 2 showers but its not really a big issue. Fantastic chinese restaurant that really cheap to eat at downstairs as well. Would definitely come back here again!
