My stay at the Elephant on the Moon Hostel in May made my first visit to Krakow a trip to remember. The staff, especially Aga, were sweet and super helpful. They were more than happy to arrange tours, provide recommendations on places to eat and visit, and answer any questions I had. The other guests were respectful and sweet as... More

Staying here was one of the highlights of my trip. It was the only hostel I stayed at because I didn't want the crowd that you usually get in them, but all the reviews on TA had convinced me to book and I'm so glad I did. The staff were wonderful. I sat down and watched movies and chatted with... More

I stayed at this hostel for six days, and enjoyed my stay very much. It felt more as a Bed and Breakfast place rather than a hostel. That's a plus! PROS (not in any order): 1. Very clean 2. Friendly staff 3. Pretty courtyard 4. Filling breakfast 5. Quiet place 6. Free WiFi 7. Not crowded 8. Close to tram... More

The hostel is small - it feels like home really. The staff is great. The breakfast is nice. To get there you have to go by tram - it takes about 15 minutes ( more or less) and than walk for 5 minutes.

This hostel is fun to stay in, the staff is welcoming and friendly and it REALLY was cleaner than many 4 stars hotels I stayed in. Although it is not directly in the city centre, the 20 min. walk along Vistula river is worth it (or you just get on the tram and you are in the centre in 5... More

Normally don’t stay in Hostels, but my stay here changed all that and will definitely try more! It lives up to its ratings by others! Rather than a typical hostel full of dorms - it is actually a 5 bedroom house with one mixed dorm and others which are twins, singles and even with en-suite. Even the shared bathroom is... More
