This was my second time staying in the hostel and yet again, did not disappoint. Thank you to all the mama's staff that made our stay so fantastic. Would wholeheartedly recommend. I would never stay anywhere else in krakow

It's a guesthouse for people who want to have parties every nights. It's noisy, the rooms are next to the common room so you hear people chatting very well. If you want to get up early in the morning for visits and is the kind of person that can't sleep in a noisy atmosphere, I wouldn't recommand this gueshouse. If you don't mind the noise or come to have parties every night, then just go, because it's a very confortable place where you can feel at home.

The staff were extremely friendly and immediately made you feel at ease, as if you were at a second home. The hostel had a great amount of character and liveliness, perfect for youths. Stayed there for the film night, where everybody sat around on settees in the lounge. 24/7 staff who were aware of which guests were staying, so you felt secure leaving your things even lying around - even though there were lockers. Free use of internet too which was handy. Would definitely recommend to friends!

Best hostel in Poland!!! Staff was super nice and helpful: since we checked in at 2am, they offered to call a taxi to pick us up from the bus station. The atmosphere was warm and I really enjoyed MOVIES NIGHT, though we skipped SPAGHETTI NIGHT ( I am Italian... )! Location is excellent, like 20mt from Main Market Square! I'd stay there again!

Great hostel. We were only in Krakow for one night before moving onto Zakopane but when we come back will definitely stay here again. Friendly staff, good atmosphere, excellent location and comfy, cosy rooms.

The Hostel is well located, and that´s it. The staff are not helpfull at all... they explain the things as you know already the city, and if you ask twice, they don´t seem willing to repeat. The toilletes are just desguting! I really hated it... The fun is quite nice, we had vodka tasting, was cool and fun, because of who was in the hostel, not for the staff..unfortunately I would not recommend this hostel, just if you look for a really cheap place and good location. No light on the staircase.

Great hostel! Very friendly and helpful staff, ready to answer any questions you may have. Atmosphere was cosy - perfect place to stay when visiting Krakow especially during the chillier months! Dorm rooms had lockers which means you dont have to worry about tripping over other people's belongings! A hostel I am very happy to recommend!
