They switched the location without telling me befo
Do not book here, after walking in the heat for 30 mins to this place and walking up 3 floors with all my stuff they tell me that they are full and that they switched my booking to another place, had to walk back almost all the way I had walked and uo another 2 floors and then they told me that it was another hostle, I got pissed and they said ok I could stay there. What a nightmare on a hot afternoon, took almost 3 hours to get sorted.
Great location, friendly staff, very spacious, excellent price. Only 2 negatives, shower pressure and temp control awful, and 2 weeks worth of lunch meats, cheese, and some vegetables were taken from refrigerator. All my food was in one bag, but it had been opened, rifled through, and reclosed...
Stayed for 4 nights; receptionist was really sweet and helpful. Most of the people staying the hostel seem to be living there. Not much of a problem but they’re all grown adults (few seniors), not much of a chance to meet people or socialize. Kitchen is fitted but everything seemed too dirty to use. Bedding is nice and mattress was quite comfy. It’s was wintertime so it was nice and warm. Bathroom inside the room was dirty 100% of the time and shower was virtually unusable but the the shared bathrooms outside the room were always clean and perfect. Not a bad stay.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
While reasonably well-kept and tidy, there's not much comfort besides the couches in a narrow, windowless hallway and the small reception area.
Wireless connectivity is quite poor, depending on the room and spot.
Fridge seemed to be always packed, though that's mostly the customers' faults for likely leaving food behind and overall taking too much space.
The 4-bed rooms' private shower is offset by the almost intolerable street noise coming from their side of the building. Earplugs or falling-asleep music may be advisable for those who have trouble falling asleep
Reception desk hours are not followed closely at all.
Despite all this, I would say I got what a paid for and overall I think this place is adequate as a cheap, clean, and safe place to crash for a few nights.

Hostel Nearby the Old Town
Decent place if you need a bed after travelling. Didn't have personal lockers but that's fine if you only leave behind your clothes during your time out. Receptionist is friendly and helpful at least - there is a common kitchen but I didn't check it out. Towels for rent. Good location but the traffic on the street may be too noisy (But you can shut the window)

Great location, but not kept very clean (bathrooms always seemed dirty and hot water was a 'hit /miss' )
Leider wohnen viele ältere Männer fest im Hostel. Ich konnte die ganze Nacht nicht schlafen, da es nur eine große Lampe gab, und meine Zimmergenossen bis tief in die Nacht wach bleiben wollten. Die Sauberkeit ist akzeptabel, allerdings ist auch die Rezeption kaum besetzt. Ich persönlich als junge Frau fühlt mich nicht sicher, und so bin ich dann für die restlichen Nächte in ein anderes Hostel umgezogen.
Enregistrement rapide, personnel sympa, tarif très peu onéreux : voilà qui est appréciable ! Gros point faible : la douche étant directement dans la chambre, sans salle de bain entre les deux, il est difficile de se déshabiller et de s'habiller dans l'intimité, d'autant qu'il n'y a rien dans la douche pour poser ses vêtements. Par ailleurs, la seule et unique lampe dans la chambre étant celle du plafond, il n'est pas simple de se reposer si vos voisins de chambre ont décidé de laisser la lumière allumée... Ceci étant, les deux personnes avec qui j'ai cohabité ont été très correctes et donc le séjour fut agréable. Je n'hésiterai pas à reloger dans cet établissement si je reviens à Cracovie.
