Great hostel! I loved Krakow and a big part of that is the hostel. Beds are comfy, showers are hot, breakfast is lovely and staff are friendly and helpful. The location is great with plenty of bars nearby, but still quiet enough for a good night sleep. Only thing is the doorbell. It is kind of annoying, but still thoroughly enjoyed the stay!

Panda Hostel is very well located. The value is ok for the other facilities. Unfortunately the bathrooms are lacking, are very small and have no windows. Besides the location, a spread is the breakfast and the fact that the hostel is not a party hostel despite being surrounded by pubs.

Everything was great. The room, people and the party. I strongly recommend it! In the very center of the Novy Place you really have many place to choose. Staff was great. The most patient staff in the world. I've been drunk and they tried to explain me how to get to the airport. That was amazing!

It is friendly hostel in the lovely part of Cracow. It has some drawbacks like small bathrooms but I would definitely recommend this hostel. And the price is really good.

It's in a great location and the staff are really friendly. You also get half price pizza which is really good. The only downside was the bathroom - it was really small and not very clean. Otherwise it was a great hostel.

W can't make bathrooms bigger - old building. But thanks for feedback :)

nice hostel with friendly staff. perfect location for going out, but the walls are very thin and you can always hear the door bell ringing, so not the perfect place if you want a good night sleep. breakfast is nothing special. all in all, very good place for this money. would definitely stay there again if I ever come back to Krakow.

It´s not a good place to go if you are travelling alone: the common area is not that big and you can´t really meet new people there. In the 6 bed female dorm, the shower was inside the room, so if you have to take a shower in the morning you will turn on the light and disturb who is sleeping. Breakfast is included but they "kindly aks you to clean the dishes after" - not nice. Th shower was not that clean and the tub drainer was obstructed by something. Nice pizza though!

Thanks for feedback. But we have to disagree about cleaning the dishes - it's normal practice in hostels.

Friendly staff, half price pizza next door was an excellent bonus. Upstairs toilet was quite annoying as the seat did not actually stay up when you were trying to urinate
