About

At dreamfactory, we believe in more than hosting – we believe in winning true friends. Our spaces are designed for real human connection, where honesty, authenticity, and friendship turn every stay into something bigger than travel. Come as a guest, leave as a friend.

dreamfactory was created from the idea that true travel is about people, not just places. That’s why our hostels are stages for local culture, hubs for global communities, and safe spaces where stories are shared and friendships are born. Whether you’re joining our First Night Circle, taking part in weekly events, or just enjoying the good vibes in our common areas, you’ll feel part of something larger – a family of travelers who value connection over convenience.

I booked two nights here and once I seen my dorm and bed I immediately went to reception to ask for a refund. Do not stay here! Its not clean, smelly and gross. My bed was not even made and there was food particles, hair and dirt all over my bed. The receptionist gave me two emails to try and get a refund from. One email was invalid and the other one never replied back. If you want to get an infection then stay here. I wouldn't have even written a review if you had just given my money back.

The location is quite nice, but the cleanliness was terrible, without cleaning toilet and livings room. ALSO !!! NO TOILET PAPER !!! The bunk bed was dusty as well and the bed curtain wasn’t fixed well. I booked for 3 nights in DREAMFACTORY but left the hostel and booked another accommodation for the last night in Krakow. This is the most awful experience in EU country.

EXCELLENT place to stay! was always clean, excellent location and really social. Note that the hostel is next to a souvenir shop, and is in an apartment style complex, and is slightly hard to find in the dark
