"Let's start with address; difficult to find even people living there could not find it easily. The entrance is disguised by some lady selling various objects.(see photo)
You have to be mind reader to find your room and bed as receptionist doesn't move her ass to show, instead mentions the wrong door with a punch code(it is obvious that it happened before as the code is still on the punch pad). The correct pad is actually on the handle of the next door that you need magnifier to find it ,if it is your first time. Then writes down 1/1/1/ which is supposed to be 1st door,1st bed and 1st locker.
Skip this hostel if you are light and early sleeper as the tram line passes next door and it turns is quite curvy so the nise is quite annoying and happenes periodically. There is also noise from wooden floor and bed brames each time you move, Basically you have tiptoe to in order to make less noise. However, the major drawback is the bathroom cailities rather the lack of it only one bathroom for so many guests. I had to wait more than one hour and eventually gave up.
On the plus side, it has great location only few minutes to the old town centre. It also is quite clean.
For the price you pay which is about half the average hotel, next time I would definitely stay in a hotel. It is your choice."

GGuest UserCheck in was easy and quick with a friendly receptionist. They let us check in slightly earlier which was great. The room is basic, but is pretty much what I expected. One of the sheets had a large brown stain on, the cleaner was in the hallway so we asked her to change it and she did straight away which was good. We asked at reception later on that day (different receptionist) for another pillow as the one they supplied was super thin and was just told NO! Super rude! Was a 'little bit' far from the main square, however with Bolt being Really really cheap, just £2.50 to get into the main square we didnt mind at all. We were there 3 nights and the room wasn't cleaned or towels changed within that time. Breakfast was a sandwich from a local Deli, a biscuit, a yoghurt pot and an apple with a bottle of water, which you collected from reception. There was a kitchen at the end of the corridor where you could make tea and coffee, which they supplied free of charge. Over all definitely worth the money, would have liked an extra pillow, and perhaps one change of towel would have been nice.
GGuest UserWas there for one week .very small hostel and very bad service . I was staying there for 7days which never fulling booked and my bed was up and I asked can they change for me .I waited two night get changed and I went to out when I get back the reception asked me to change my own bed sheet I was shocked but don't want to argue because I know I cannot get my money back.if I didn't booked for 7days I will just walked out. One girl checked I talked here about it. She said her bed was dirty and before she live she take of the pillow cover and bed cover she said she want to make sure when next one come can have clean one.hopefully
out side of the reception steps never been cleaned very dirty ..
The cleaner tell people don't work around when she cleans quite funny to be honest.she is cleaning for few mins and stop go eat.if u only stay one night u will not noticed for that .
Only two good points one is kitchen breakfast was good.
Location is very good too .
WWhynottravelCheap room, 6 bed room, is a house that is divided into a hostel. I don't reset the floor all the time. I'm quite crowded. But it's cheap enough, forgive me. There is a convenience store next door, 20 minutes walk into town. Bathrooms are shared downstairs and upstairs. Just the overall score.
メメイベルThe location is great. Since I didn't have much luggage, I didn't mind the short walk from the station or the lack of an elevator. I stayed in a shared dormitory. There were some noisy foreigners chatting, but it was fine for just sleeping. Towels cost extra.
CCabbiehkThe hostel was located 25 mins walk away from the train station, and about 15 mins walk away from the old town. It was situated in an old building. There were a bar, a common room and a kitchen, which was free to use. The toilets and shower rooms were outside the sleeping room and there was no division of male or female toilets, i.e. they were shared by all. The room could be noisy if facing the road and tram rails. The hostel was quite full and could be a bit dirty if your roommates did not care about hygiene. There were no air conditioning.
YYuxmanThis is a hotel located right in the heart of Kraków’s old town District. You are a stones throw away from immeasurable restaurants, and only a short walk to the main central Square with a bustling market. The location is absolutely incredible, the beds comfortable, 10 out of 10 would recommend. 
ЕЕкатерина❤️One of the best hostels I've ever stayed at, and I've stayed at many!
1. **Location:** Close to shops, cafes, and an abundance of beautiful, quiet streets.
2. **The Place Itself:** This place is clearly made with heart and dedication, evident in every detail. It's tastefully designed, and you can see the care for guests in every interior element.
3. **Clean Bathrooms and Showers:** Spotless and well-maintained.
4. **Spacious Kitchen:** Well-equipped with plenty of utensils for cooking.
5. **Friendly and Welcoming Staff:** Always ready to answer questions and radiate positive energy ❤️✨.
6. **Desire to Return:** I'd love to come back to Krakow and stay here again. I was in a 10-person room, and it had an incredibly beautiful view. Even in that room, there was clever zoning, allowing for relaxation and comfortable seating in cozy armchairs.
This place stole my heart 🧡. I wish it all the best and 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a hostel!
