Goodbye Lenin was truly amazing! You can't beat their prices and their location! It was perfect for our one night stop as it was a 10 minute walk from everything and the staff were so helpful and kind! Definitely take them up on their aiport service - only 75PLN! We had booked a mixed dorm for us 4 girls but they kindly offered to put us in a private room. Would definitely go back again! Thank you Goodbye Lenin!!!!!!

I do NOT recommend this place! Location is poor. You must walk through dark alleyways in order to find it, and its kind of frightening. It is not the cleanest hostel either. The breakfast was superb though. In our second night, water in the hostel was cut and we had to be reallocated. We were given wrong instructions by the staff to find the new hostel, which was further and far worse. We complained and asked for a compensation, but they have not even bothered to reply us. Disappointing...

Our stay at Goodbye Lenin was marred by some very avoidable problems. Firstly, our roommates for the first two nights were a very loud group of Danish teenagers who prevented us from sleeping well. Secondly, the bathroom got quite gross after the first day, and didn't seem to be cleaned again after that. Lastly, the internet was very spotty and unreliable. On the plus side, the staff was amazingly helpful, the place has a nice vibe, and the breakfast is nice (though nothing too expansive).

This is a wonderful place, really conveniently located between the Old Town and the Jewish District and surrounded by cool pubs, restaurants, and an active nightlife. The staff here was infinitely helpful and the hostel was always full of fun guests at the bar or playing pool. It was a really friendly environment and breakfast was great.

Good place with a nice atmosphere ideal to start the party and continue the fun outside. Also rest was not a problem because the pub is properly insulated.

The downstairs lounge was really cool and had a very home-y feeling to it. The location was fine I suppose but it was at the end of a DARK alley without any street lights, which was scary for myself, a female traveler. Perhaps you could add a light on that main road? It really seemed like the perfect preying ground for a predator looking to target travelers. Also one of the staff (if not managers) tried to sell us Auschwitz tickets for 105PLN when it only cost us 20PLN to go on our own.

It's far from central station, and a little hard to find, it costed us almost 30 mins up to find it:p It serves food in anytime. But the wifi is weak only if in reception.

Fantastic hostel! Clean, the staff were very helpful and gave me details on tours and everything I needed to make the most of my stay in Krakow. The hostel was a lot of fun to just hang out in and a great place to meet other people.

The place was clean, warm, great facilities and the showers were always HOT! Staff were very helpful, the only problem was the location for a loan female traveller, as its down an alley way it felt a bit unsafe walking home in the dark!

This hostel is really atmospheric place. It's located in old district of Kazimierz, has great garden and nice bar with pool table and table football. The staff is helpful and always glad to advice anything you want to know about the city. Highly recommended!

The hostel in a very good location 5 minutes from Main square in the old city. It's clean and cosy. The only issue was about the Wifi connection: the signal was bad in the room and I was only at the first floor but it was working good in the lounge area.
