Having arrived at Good bye Lenin Hostel after just receiving disgraceful service from Dragon Aparthostel I was not expected wonders; I was however proved to be wrong! The Hostel was smart, tidy, clean and obviously well looked after. Staff were friendly helpful and very knowledgeable. The Hostel is in a good location with excellent public transport links although the old... More

The staff are fantastic, they organise all the day trips for you and there is a bar where everyone hangs out and parties. It's not in old town, but close the jewish district and a five minute walk into old town

Spent a week there. The location is great (between Schindler's factory, Kazimierz, plac Nowy and Old Town), Breakfast included in the price, bed sheets included, free laundry, free locker, free coffee and tea all day, just as bread. Also, the bar is quite cheap (1e for a large beer) with absolutely great atmosphere. The staff were beyond professional and kind.... More

Very nice location, close to the center (though Krakow is very small). The hostel is very clean, staff are very nice, friendly, and willing to help, and very importantly, pretty, haha. Prices are very reasonable. And in the Winter, its so good to get a nice bathroom and unlimited supply of hot water! Breakfast is nice with free coffee and... More

My husband and I stayed for 6 nights, split in two occasions. Although we are much older than most of the hostel visitors (55 & 63), we were made to feel very welcome. The staff was very helpful, giving us tips on places to go. The hostel is close to most of the sights in Krakow, walking distance even for... More

Location is very good: close to the city center and close to Kazimierz. Stuff is ok, if you need smth and ask they'll help you out, but I've met more obliging stuff. At first sight rooms look quite well, they are oddly spacious. But, the beds aren't comfortable as the bed base are common wood boards, and the mattress is... More

All in all, the hostel was ok. The people at the reception were very friendly and knowledgeable. It is located in the Jewish neighbourhood and is thus very close to many memorable pubs and bars. You have free WiFi and the 10 person room was extremely cheap, even for Eastern Europe. However, the rooms were pretty shady looking and smelled... More

Very friendly staff and clean hostel. Not a fan of the communal bathrooms though. Only four beds to the room which was great. The location was ok, a 15 min walk into the centre of town, or a tram ride away. Left like a safe neighbourhood. The receptionist was super friendly and very helpful with directions and activities in Krakow.

We enjoyed our four nights at Goodbye Lenin, staying in a six person and then a four person dorm. We contacted the hostel last minute so we could arrive a day early and they were very accommodating. This hostel is in a perfect spot in Krakow, half way between old town and the Jewish quarter. We booked our tours to... More
