I really enjoyed this hostel... Lots of individual touches, lovely room names and decor, spacious kitchen and excellent breakfast. This is a bike friendly hostel and I got some very helpful advice about directions out of Krakow as well as total security for my bike! One small downside was that the beds had rather thin mattresses and the slats were a bit wide spaced, so the overall effect was a bit bumpy! All in all, though, very impressed. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

I would recommend this hostel if you are staying in Krakow for a few days. If you walk it is 15 mins to Wowel and Old Town. There are also tram stops nearby. The breakfast in the morning was delicious! The hostel is very secure for the most part. There is one thing that in hindsight was unnerving. Someone from a tour group came to pick me up at the hostel, and the hostel gave them my room info. I'm not 100% happy about that, but that was the only major issue I ran into. I will book there again!

The girls staff are very polite and they always try to help you with everything. The breakfast is fantastic, you can eat and drink everything: cereals, cheese, tomato, jam, bread, butter, yogurt, coffee, tea, milk... The location is really good, it's near to the jewish district in a very quite street. I think that it's a really good hostel to enjoy Kraków!!

Perfect, relaxing hostel. I had a private apartment that overlooked the garden. All the staff were excellent. They helped with scheduling tours and gave some great recommendations.
