Guests frequently highlight the fantastic value, especially the complimentary breakfast and dinner, which are great for socialising. The staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful.

Nice hostel. Free breakfast and dinner was fantastic and appreciated. All the receptionists were very helpful and easy to talk to. Located right next to the old town and the train station. Only vice was that there were no AC in the rooms. They had fans tho!

Hostelworld says

Greg & Tom Hostel was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2011 Hoscars and it's not difficult to see why. This friendly, sociable hostel is very centrally located, less than 10 minutes' walk from Market Square and St Florian's Gate, and an easy walk to the rest of Krakow's main sights. The staff are very highly rated here on Hostelworld and we like that they serve a different free dinner seven nights a week, perfect for meeting other travellers. This hostel also features two fully equipped kitchens, free Internet and Wi-Fi, free walking tours and no bunk beds.
