8.4Verified guest“For the price I paid, the value was much better than expected. The room was comfortable and had everything I needed, with a cosy bed and a surprisingly large blanket. The shower impressed me too — hot water and strong pressure. The location worked well, with a bus stop nearby and the main square within a reasonable walk.”
8.4Verified guest“The front desk staff were always available when I needed them, there's a lift, and the location is simply excellent.”
8.4Verified guest“A centrally located student hostel with clean rooms. The bathroom and kitchen were shared between two rooms, each with the essentials. Free towels, Wi-Fi and parking are provided, and a bus stop is close by. Staff were helpful and friendly. Perfect if you're staying in the student area or want a 20-minute walk to the main square.”
8.4Verified guest“Our room was just right for us — it came with a TV, a kitchen, and a toilet and shower shared by two rooms. None of these were listed on the website, so it was a pleasant surprise. The location was handy, two minutes from the bus stop and a short ride or a 45-minute walk from the centre. The hostel felt cosy and comfortable, and reception staff were extremely helpful and friendly, giving us great tips on local activities and culture.”
8.4Verified guest“Clean, newly refurbished room with fresh bedding and towels. The bathroom was shared with three others. The kitchen was small but well equipped with basic supplies. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Very satisfied with my stay.”
8.4Verified guest“I stayed at a newly built hotel in Krakow for a few nights and was pleasantly surprised. The room was spotless and nicely renovated, making it feel like home. The kitchenette had everything I needed, from a kettle to cutlery and plates. The bathroom was shared with only one other room, which gave a bit of privacy. The fridge and small kitchen were used only by the two rooms, which was very convenient. Bedding and towels were fresh, and the room itself was spacious and comfortable. The friendly reception staff made me feel welcome and were always ready to help. My stay exceeded expectations and I left very satisfied.”
