I had a great stay here. It was easy to meet other solo travellers over the free dinner. It was located close to the old town and train station, and was clean and tidy. More travellers in mid-20s and thirties as well as a bit of an older crowd

Hostelworld says

Greg & Tom Hostel was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2011 Hoscars and it's not difficult to see why. This friendly, sociable hostel is very centrally located, less than 10 minutes' walk from Market Square and St Florian's Gate, and an easy walk to the rest of Krakow's main sights. The staff are very highly rated here on Hostelworld and we like that they serve a different free dinner seven nights a week, perfect for meeting other travellers. This hostel also features two fully equipped kitchens, free Internet and Wi-Fi, free walking tours and no bunk beds.
