About

Ginger Hostel is a hostel that unites travelers from around the globe. It is something more than just an accommodation, we want our guests to rest and chill out with other travelers who have the same interests and preferences.

Ginger Hostel is located in 5 minutes walk from the Wawel castle and 10 minutes walk from the Old Town. There is a bus and a a tram stop right in front of the hostel (Jubilat), so there will be no problems with getting even to the most distant areas of the city. Bus number 252 goes directly from the Krakow Balice Airport to Jubilat bus stop in front of the hostel.

At Ginger Hostel we have rooms for all tastes and budgets, but all our rooms are equally comfortable, because they are spacious, light, have high quality furniture (wooden beds with orthopedic mattresses, luggage lockers for every guest) Enough? But it is not all yet. Our guest can use a common lounge area where they can have a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy a gorgeous view at the Wawel Castle. Mornings start with a tasty continental breakfast at Ginger Hostel. Also, if you need transfers or excursion to the most popular touristic directions (and not only) we can book them for you. Hope that you will decide to come to Ginger Hostel. We do our best in order to provide our guests with high quality services that will allow them to enjoy their stay in Krakow and Poland.

Great staff! AWESOME BREAKFAST! Rooms were perfect, with a lot of room and spacious lockers. There were not locks on the doors to the rooms, so sometimes other people staying in the hostel accidentally opened the door, but to get into the hostel itself you need to have two different key codes (MAKE SURE YOU GET THE WHEN YOU CHECK IN).

The breakfast in the morning is really nice! Not super social and I wish there were locks/ keys directly for the rooms but otherwise it’s great. Super close to transit and easy to walk into old town

Good hostel all in all. Most of the staff I encountered only spoke polish so that was interesting.
