Basically on the main square in the Old Town, so very handy. Nice place. Only bad points were that it was a nightmare to pull luggage up to 3rd floor and it was a bit chilly (altho they were getting radiators replaced at the time)

I've stayed in quite a few hostels over the past couple of years, but Mama's was definitely the best. The rooms were clean, warm with lockers for everybody. The bathrooms are cleaned every hour and you can lock them. The staff are very helpful, friendly and make you feel welcome right from the start. There are planned events every evening.... More

I've been to Mama's twice over the past few years and loved it each time. For one, the location is perfect. Bracka street is just off the Main Square and right across the street from Nowa Prowincja, one of my favorite Old Town coffee shops. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. Each night there is an organized event,... More

Stayed here with friends in a 12 bed dorm. Staff were friendly and had great English. The hostel was very clean, especially the bathrooms. Showers were great. The kitchen was nice and the breakfast in the morning and constant toast was great. Rooms were grand, good size bed, lockers and not cold, very important in winter! Location was the best... More

My friends and me went to the Mama´s Hostel for 1 night and it was one of the worst hostel i have ever been. The main problem is the noise; our room was just next to the hall where the people was partying with really loud music, and we had to tell them to turn down the volume 3 times.... More

Excellent hostel, great location, all bars, attractions are all walkable to and from the hostel, krakow's main square is literally 5 mins walk away! Friendly staff and good amennities, free internet and food provided! Would stay here again! Tip- avoid krakow taxi drivers! Dodgy robbing thieves!!

Having never stayed in a hostel prior to this summer's European vacation with my family - (50 year old couple /two college kids) I was quite hesitant and not sure of what to expect, but my son challenged my sense of adventure and we went for it. Mama's won me over. The location a block off the main square in... More

If the atmosphere of the hostel does not make you incredible happy, then the patio or the pepole will! It was a great place to stay in Krakow - very close to the city center and everything else you would want to do.

Very nice place, feels like a large apartment. Helpful young staff with great english. Excellent kitchen, dining area, washer/dryer, left luggage cupboard. Regular events, social but not a party hostel, cool about staying around if your catching a train that evening. Not obvious if it was fresh linen, but the place was cleaned thoroughly every morning
